Lady Barons Conquer Christendom

The Lady Barons made a long road trip to Christendom college for a noon match on Saturday.  After struggling in the first half, the Lady Barons pulled away for an impressive 52-41 road win.

"The first half was difficult for us," Lady Barons Head Coach Kelly Herrmann remarked in a post game interview, "Our shots just weren't falling.  We took a lot of good shots, particularly in the post, but we were unable to come up with many points from those opportunities."

As a result of their lack of offensive production, the Lady Barons trailed by a point at halftime. 

However, the Lady Barons came into the second half with a renewed fervor.  The took the lead fairly early in the half, and then gradually worked to extend that lead and but Christendom out of the game.  Jess Belleque, in particular, stepped up her game in the final ten minutes of regulation.  "Jess didn't shoot well in the first half," Coach Herrmann remarked, "But she made several key shots near the end of the game to keep us ahead."

Sarah Viancourt was the Lady Barons' scoring leader with 16 points.  Jess Belleque and Nicole Naugle also had solid performances, with 12 points each.

"There was a lot of noise today, Christendom had a very good turnout," Coach Herrmann remarked, "It was difficult for our players, but we managed to come together and get the win."
