The Lady Gaels have started off the season on a three game skid. Iona College opened its 2010-11 campaign with a 72-40 loss on the road to Charlotte in the Preseason WNIT. The Gaels had double-digit production from senior Anda Ivkovic and junior Kristina Ford, but struggled to keep pace with the quick and athletic 49ers.
Iona then took on the Knights of Central Florida, in Harrisonburg, VA. The Gaels were led by Kristina Ford with 14 points, followed by Cat Lutz and Milica Paligoric with 8 points apiece. After being tied at 18, UCF mounted a 9-1 run to lead by eight at halftime. The Gaels could never catch-up and ended the game losing 59-48.
The last game in the WNIT Tournament ended with the same result as the first two, with a defeat for the Gaels. Iona was paced by Anda Ivkovic with 22 points and 8 rebounds, along with Marissa Flagg who tallied 16 points, and Tomica Bacic with 12 points and 5 rebounds. Despite outscoring St. Francis University 40-36 in the second half the Gaels could not comeback, losing 77-69 to end the WNIT Tournament. The Gaels look to rebound this weekend against Brown University Saturday, and the University of Toledo Sunday in our Thanksgiving Day Tournament at Hynes Center. Come out and support Iona!
