WITH 4 of 5 STARTERS EARNING DOUBLE-DOUBLES- Still, it just wasn’t quite enough
January 28, 2020 The difference - maker, shots put up.
In a highly-charged game on the road vs Vermont Tech, the Lady Bobcats left nothing on the floor. The final score was 81-84. Returning home the Bobcats starting 5 knew their performance was overall on task- afterall, each of their contributions were with high performance and nothing to be ashamed of. "Our ladies did a great job. There wasn't much more that I could have asked of them." We play to win- and we will continue to go to the court to do just that. We know what we need to work on and they're all in." Head Coach Jaclyn Welch.
STARTING 5 vs Vermont Tech
Newcomer Taynique Hawthorne led the Bobcats in three categories putting up 22 points with 15 rebounds with 6 forced turnovers. Center, Lauren Feldman averaging 8.5 points per game in her college career, came in strong with 14, added 10 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists, Kiara Sweeney sunk 10 mirroring with 10 rebounds, 2 steals and her B&SC career-high of 6 assists. Anyla Harper played with power adding 11 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. And Madison Perez who never disappoints, added 16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 assist.
Although a loss was added to the overall record now 4-14, the numbers don't lie. The skill level has clearly increased in the 2nd half of their season and making for great game to watch.
