WORDS FROM THE HAWKS:
Our girls came out in the first quarter and showed a glimpse of what our team can look like this year. Over the course of the next two quarters, we struggled to put together baskets. I started 4 freshmen tonight against a really experienced Lynn team and they came out and gave everything that they had. Our freshamn will continue to get college playing experience, it will help our team as we will return several upperclassman over the next few weeks. - Coach Brooks
