Lady Barons Fall to La Roche

The Lady Barons faced off against La Roche at home on Saturday afternoon.  The Lady Barons only had seven healthy players on their roster for the game and were unable to keep pace with the talented La Roche team, and it resulted in a 74-40 loss.

 Despite the large margin of defeat, Lady Barons Head Coach Kelly Herrmann was pleased with her team's performance, given the difficult conditions they faced in the game.  "We only had seven players for the game, and La Roche is a very good team, one of the best in our conference," Coach Herrmann said, "I'm proud of the girls for playing really hard today, they really hustled.  La Roche had a lot more players and a lot more athleticism, but we're working on it every day, and we will continue to get better."

Coach Herrmann highlighted the performances of Cara Mitchell, Kristin Belleque, and Angelle Cupit.  "Cara led the team is scoring with thirteen points, and Kristin Belleque had twelve and played solid defense.  Angelle Cupit had an outstanding game---she did a good job defensively and in getting open."

One area that Coach Herrmann highlighted as the main reason for the large point difference was the Lady Barons' free throw percentage.  "We had thirty foul shots in the game, but only made fifteen.  We're generally a good free throw shooting team, but this was a tough day for us."
