So the end result may not have been what we were looking for in our first game, but what an effort put forth by the girls...especially in the 2nd half! After losing last night to Arizona in our Tip Off Tournament / season opener (75-70 in overtime) we are putting our game-face on and coming ready for tonight's game against Bucknell.
Last night was a true test of the team's character and determination to fight back. Down by 21 points with 19:08 remaining in the game, we chipped away point by point and brought the game into overtime. Unfortunately, Arizona took the lead right away and we never got it back. Anna McLean showed how hard she's worked in the off-season to come back for her senior year and really kick it into gear! She ended the game with 22 points and 19 rebounds. Cat Lutz came ready for game-changing plays...she hit 5-11 from behind the arc, several of them coming at critical points in the game.
The fan attendance was great! They were into the game from the very beginning and stayed loud to the last few seconds. It was nice to see some of the summer camp girls come to support us...they helped out with the water and were great cheerleaders.
