Last nights's exhibition game for the women's basketball team against the Hoosier Lady All Stars started a lot like the first men's exhibition game, a little slow at first but finished off with a high score at the end of the game. There are many new faces this year along with two returning seniors, four juniors, two sophomores and six freshman.
At halftime, the Bulldogs were down 32-28, but responded quickly when they returned for the second half. This being the only exhibition game for women's basketball team, they started out strongly for having to face Ohio, Bradley and especially Purdue for the beginning of the season. Two double-digit scoring players of the game, Lade Akande and Susan Lester were both named to the 2007-08 Preseason All-Horizon League Teams. Akande scored a game-high of 17 points during the game, 15 were during the first half. Lester finished with 11 points, and freshman Brittany Bowen finished with 15 points, 13 of which were made in the second half.
I look forward to more women's games, if they play in more games like they did last night. Both the women's and men's teams started their first exhibition games a little rusty, but polished off each win with a considerable point difference. The women's basketball team plays their first game of the season against Ohio on Saturday @ 4:30 p.m. I hope to see more people there, this looks to be a possibly good season for the girls.
