To start of the 08-09 season for the Bobcats, after winning consecutive road games on Friday and Sunday over Stony Brook and Brown. A good weekend for QU Basketball (both the men’s and women’s teams).
On Friday it was a very slippery, turnover-filled start to the Bobcats season, but the halftime break did them good. After being up by 1 at the break, QU continued to press full court and apply defensive pressure that was too much for the Seawolves to handle en route to a 59-45 victory. Freshman Felicia Barron had 14 points and 7 steals in her collegiate debut, while Co-Captain Erin Kerner led the scoring with 22.
Box Score or A Full Recap
Erin added another amazing shooting performance with 25 points Sunday to seal their second win over Brown. The Big 3 of Erin, Breezy Rooney and Mandy Pennewell combined for 55 of the team 79 points in the 79-62 win (Box Score)…and much like Friday’s opener, the team struggled with turnovers and getting off to a good start in each game. Still, 2-0 is 2-0 in the end.
After a couple of days off of the court, the Bobcats return to practice Wednesday, and will be heading up to Burlington, VT Friday for a tournament game against the hosting Catamounts of UVM on Saturday. The other matchup features Michigan State against Dartmouth, with the winners in a championship game on Sunday (there is also a 3rd place game).
