Hallelujah!It was only an exhibition. Really just a scrimmage between two teams with fans in attendance. But this evening, when
As expected, the D-III Falcons were no match for the #11 ranked D-I Terrapins. Even playing without senior star Lynetta Kizer (who apparently was a naughty girl -- suspended indefinitely for an undisclosed violation of team rules), the Terps dominated Messiah, 82-36. Props to the Falcons . . . they never looked intimidated or defeated. They played hard. This experience should stand them in good stead when they tip off against their own D-III competitors this season.
As for the Terps, four players finished in double figures (Anjale Barrett, Tianna Hawkins, Alyssa Thomas and Laurin Mincy). Laurin led all scorers with 17 points, and the BCs were impressed. We won't know for sure until Laurin faces some tougher opponents, but it looked to us like Laurin's game has really grown since her rookie season. Another player who caught our attention was freshman PG Brene Moseley. "Bones" dished out 7 assists in her debut. Not bad at all. Finally, with Netta in warm-ups on the bench, Tianna dominated the paint, finishing with a double-double (12 points & 13 boards).
This was hardly an edge-of-your-seat nailbiter, but we still had fun. And we look forward to many more opportunities to cheer on the Terps -- and have fun -- this season.
Next up: another exhibition at home, this one against Holy Family at 7 PM on Sunday.
