Great w. Thx for the update.
An incredible experience! On senior night our women played much more aggressively and raced to a 14 point half time lead over Seton Hall, a team I thought before the game (because of their record) might slaughter us. In the second half they kept chipping away at our lead but we continued to score at least enough to keep them at bay until the last couple minutes. Then they forced more turnovers (and got away with some rough fouls in the process) and it began to look like deja vu all over again -- that we'd find a way to lose this game too. Our women were even missing too many free throws down the stretch. Kenisha got her fifth foul for charging with a couple minutes left. Tia had had seven turnovers and only one of two free throws up till the last couple minutes. She got fouled - made the second of 2 - we're still slightly ahead. She got fouled again, and this time made both, which then put us up 5. They scored almost immediately on a drive for two and it was 3 points with seconds left. At the end, they failed to score and we rebounded and the game was ours. A whole year of incredible frustration with the women's team washed away in the wild euphoria of this win over an excellent team on senior night.
