Wheelchair Basketball Game
Last Thursday, April 15th, the men's team paired up with our team and participated in a wheelchair basketball game against the United Spinal Nassau Kings. The teams traded their sneakers for wheels to compete against the talented wheelchair squad in what turned into an exciting overtime match up between the two teams...giving the crowd a real treat!
Every year both the men's and women's teams participate in this great event sponsored by the Delta Upsilon fraternity. I know our girls had a blast and even some of our managers got into the action as refs for the game!

Final Game of the Season
At some point, unfortunately, every season must come to an end...and we have reached ours. Last Friday night, at the University of Maryland, our girls entered that court with every intention of giving UMD a great game and coming back to NY with the "W".
The first 15 minutes of the game were great...we fought hard and stayed right with them (or I could say, they stayed right with us!) Then the Terps kicked it into over-drive and ended the first half with a 20-4 run. We never stopped fighting and played hard all the way til the end.
As we've been saying all year long, we are extremely proud of the team and very happy they got to experience what the Post-Season WNIT has to offer. We wish it could have ended differently for our 2 seniors, Thazina and Anna, but the girls are tough and will bounce back to their normal selves soon.
The team will take a little time off and focus on their studies and getting healthy. We will regroup and come back into our post-season with the will and determination to get better everyday for next season.

WNIT First Round...To Maryland We Go!
We found out late last night that we will be playing at "Terps" at the University of Maryland this Friday, March 19th at 7:00pm in the first round of the WNIT. We are all excited about the opportunity to play a great team and everyone is ready for the challenge!
This is the third time in 4 years that we have made it to the Post-Season WNIT. This is also the second time we will be facing an ACC team. The last time was on Nov. 11, 2006 in the Pre-Season WNIT against NC State in North Carolina.
"Fear the GAEL!!"
