Hiram, Ohio- The Women’s Basketball team has something to be
proud of this year. They were extremely close to breaking history’s record by
being one win away. Being tied with history is still something to be proud of.
The women ended up having a 12-14 season and 6-10 in conference.They had a 5-6 record at home and a 5-7 record away. They had a
roller coaster of a season having their ups and downs this season, however the
women still had big accomplishments.
The Terriers had big victories this season. One impressive win the Terriers had was the match against Case Western Reserve. They pulled out a 77-75 win early in the season. This was the first time the women's basketball team has ever beat Case Western's women's basketball team. Another exciting and big win was against Oberlin later in the season with a score of 53-50. Their first game against them was a heartbreaking loss of 55-35. So this was a huge comeback and an important win for the Terriers.
The Terriers leading point scorer this year was sophomore, Mercedes Jones averaging 15.3 points a game. Her total points this season was whopping 399. Following a close second was sophomore, Kaylee Shockley who averaged 10.8 points a game and had an overall 282 points this season. These women made a big impact for the Terriers during this season.
Towards the end of the season however the Terriers hit a rough patch. They had a four game losing streak. A tough loss for the Terriers was the game against Fredonia State, which was brought into overtime. Fredonia came up big; winning the game, 70-68. This was a tough loss because this ended the Terriers biggest winning streak all season which was only three games.
The women's team didn't do as well as they expected, wanting to break the history record. However they still had great accomplishments through out the season that all the women and coaches should be proud of. With almost making it to breaking history's record the women will come out in full force next year, with some serious desire to break it next year.
The Terriers will be losing seniors, Rachel Ellis, Sarah Berger, Sierra Day, and Brianne Goodrich. Sierra Day was a starter for the Terriers, so the women will have to find someone to fill that spot next year. Day averaged about one point a game however has started 20 games all four years. A key player that will be coming back from an ACL injury is Kayla Yost, who was the Terriers leading point scorer last year.
Next year. the Terriers will come back stronger than ever.
