Good News

Hi All,

I'm hoping to get some thoughts on the weekend up soon, but am a bit swamped tonight. Last weekend we beat Cornell on Saturday after losing in overtime, again, at Columbia. It was an absolute heartbreaker and we certainly had chances to win in overtime, and had the lead in the last minute.

In the meantime, wanted to report some good news.

First of all, our win over Cornell marked the 300th Ivy League win in program history! And yes, we are the FIRST Ivy school to get to that mark, seven games ahead of Harvard. It's amazing just how close our rivalry with the Crimson has been. I really am happy for this group of players to be the ones to get us to that milestone. They have taken some tough, tough losses in the past few weeks but they keep fighting and deserve to have something special to their credit.

Another piece of good news, Sasha Dosenko was named the Ivy League Player of the Week. Sasha has been playing at a torrid pace, averaging 15.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in our tough split. In the last four games, she is averaging a double-double (13.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg) and has come into her own this winter after averaging just 4.7 minutes in 20 games as a rookie.She has put work into developing her game and we are all very proud of her effort. The full story is here.

Like I said, hope to have more scoop up soon and a report from Coach Wielgus. Thanks to all for your continued support.
