Both the men's and women's basketball teams are tied for a 2-0 record now. Both teams' season started out with challenging games and it only looks good from here. The first road game for the girl's was against Bradley where they finished it out with a strong win (56-46). The girl's started the game with a 5-0 lead, never to give up the fight. Lade Akande scored all 13 of her points in the first half. Candace Jones and Susan Lester finished with 12 points to assist the Bulldogs in the win. Bradley cut the lead within one point (13-12) in the first half, but that's the closest it got. This win against Bradley that gave the Bulldogs their first 2-0 record since the 1992-93 season, was just one for what hopes to be many more wins during the season. It certainly prepared them for the next opponent. This Saturday night, the team faces No. 23 Purdue. The Bulldogs lost to the Boilermakers last season at Hinkle, Purdue was also ranked highly then. The only game Purdue has won this season so far was against Valparaiso (65-62). All I can say is good luck to both teams on Saturday.
