What a weekend!!!!!! Good , bad and UGLY..
Friday night was a crazy setting!!! The top 2 teams in the MAAC....Great rivals!! A showdown for FIRST place in a SOLD OUT environment. It really doesn't get any better than that. Another great reason to be a LADY GAEL!!!
We started off fast, taking a 7-3 lead, to somewhat quiet down the crowd. Unfortunately, Marist got super hot from 3 point range and took the lead from us. We battled hard all night but just couldn't dig out of the early hole. We ended up losing by a score of 10.
We then boarded a bus and headed up to Albany, NY to play Siena. We had a great practice on Saturday (putting the loss behind us) and on Sunday we came out on FIRE!! We led 25-9 and really controlled the whole first half.
Unfortunately, we were reminded of a great lesson...Basketball games are 2 halves!! Siena came out shooting and made 8 of 9 three point attempts and tied the game right at the end. We went to overtime and lost right at the end. It was very disappointing. As well as we played in the first half, we played that bad in the second half.
I know we learned a great lesson and this will only make us stronger for the last 6 regular season games and our MAAC tournament playoffs!!
We are still in second place at 9-3...one game behind first place Marist.
We have 3 home games left...Hope to see you there!!
