first half, the Lady Barons increased their level of play in the
second, yet still fell short, 62-35.
The Lady Barons troubles stemmed from a frustrating start to the
game. The repeatedly turned over the ball, and their shots
refused to fall, allowing Chatham College to jump out to a 12-0
advantage in the first seven minutes. The Lady Barons'
struggles continued for the entire first half, and they did not
make a field goal until Sarah Viancourt scored on the lay-up with
3:44 remained, making the score 22-4. However, Viancourt's
score finally brought their offensive to life, and but the end of
the half, the scoreboard read 32-9.

up-tempo style, and we didn't respond well to that," Lady Barons
Head Coach Kelly Herrmann remarked in a post-game interview.
The Lady Barons carried their newfound offensive momentum into
the second half, and, as a result, Chatham only outscored them by
four points in the half. However, the deficit was too great
for the Lady Barons to overcome, and, in the end, they fell, 62-35.
"Once talked about things at halftime, we really settled down in
the second half, and we really played a lot better," Coach Herrmann
said of her team's second-half surge.
