UNOH races past Warriors
February 12, 2008
The women's basketball team played with tremendous heart and
courage on Senior Night but the University of Northwestern Ohio Racers managed
to pull away in the second half to win, 68-55. Senior Night was to
honor senior guards Natasha LaGrande (Southfield, MI / Mercy) and Robin
Jackson (Lansing, MI / Lansing Everett) for their commitment and service
to the women's basketball program. The Warriors started off the game well
and had a comfortable lead early on but by halftime, the Racers had closed the
gap to one. Eventually the Warriors wore down and the Racers behind the
shooting of freshman Krissy Koester (19 pts. - 8/13 FG and 12 rebounds) and the
inside play of sophomore Abbie Clifton (15 pts. and 6 boards) were able to put
the game away. The Warriors were led by freshman guard Faith Johnson (Flint,
MI / Flint Southwestern Academy) who came off the bench to score 21 points
and freshman forward Lesley Williams (Hamilton, OH / Fairfield) added 10
points. The Warriors return to conference action on Wednesday, February
13th when they host the Aquinas College Saints. Tip-off is scheduled for
5:30pm as part of a doubleheader with the men's team.
Women's Basketball claim first conference win
January 17, 2008
The women's basketball team showed some tenacity, a little
more balanced attack and hit some clutch baskets down the stretch to win their
first conference game of the season, 74-73 over the visiting Siena Heights
Saints on Wednesday night. Both teams were even at half (38-38) but after
Siena Heights tied the game with a Onicko Bigg's free throw, the Warriors went
on a roll and built an eight point lead and held on for the victory. The
Saints were paced by senior Onicko Bigg who had a double-double (17 pts. and 10
rebounds). The Warriors had three players in double figures for scoring
led by senior guard Robin Jackson (Lansing, MI / Lansing Everett) who had
17 points off the bench and freshman Jessica Walker (Garrett, IN / Garrett)
had 15 pts.(10 for 11 from the charity stripe). The Warriors hope to
maintain their momentum when they travel to Aquinas for an afternoon game on
Saturday, January 19th. Tip-off is 1:00pm.
