First Week of MAAC Play Ends in Spilt

After losing a tough game to Loyola on Sunday night, the team came out ready to go on Tuesday at Manhattan.

In our MAAC home opener against Loyola, Diana led the team with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist. Anna almost had another double-double for the year with 9 points and 17 rebounds (2nd best rebounding total since our season-opener). Suzi had 10 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. This game goes to show you (which I'm sure everyone knows), that pre-season rankings do not mean anything...it's all about what you bring on a day-to-day basis. And on Sunday, Loyola brought it harder than we did.

However, Tuesday against Manhattan was a different story for us. We went into that game determined to make sure we got the W. Anna and Kristina both had 14 points and 7 rebounds. Diana scored in double digits with 11 points, as well as Thazina with 20 points. Z (Thazina) reached her 1,000th career point against Manhattan, making her only the 19th player in school history to reach this feat...CONGRATS Z!

We leave tomorrow morning for Buffalo for our games against Canisius and Niagara. Gotta make sure we back lots of scarfs, mittens and sweats to stay warm up there!!
