MAAC Tournament

We started out the weekend with a great win over Siena, 59-43. With this win, we advanced to the Semifinal game to play Fairfield for a chance to play in the Championship game. We knew it was going to be a battle all 40 minutes...and we got what we expected.

From the very beginning of the game, until the last few seconds, both teams fought and played their hearts out. We thought we could push Fairfield to their breaking point, since they only play 6 players and their starters had just come off playing 39 minutes the night before. But this was the MAAC Tournament and for a chance to play in the Championship game...no one was giving up and everyone was leaving it all out on the court.

Unfortunately, Fairfield got the better of us and we lost 61-57. They played a great game and did the things they were supposed to in order to get the job done. As heartbreaking as the loss was to swallow, we will still live to play another game (or two, or three, or more) in the WNIT. Thazina was also named to the All-MAAC Tournament team...we are very happy for her and all of her accomplishments throughout her career.

We'll keep practicing and improving on the things we need to get better at...and we will be ready for anyone that comes our way.
