Tonight we take on Evangel at home at 5:30pm. Tonight is a big game for us; we need to win to get back on track after two tough losses. Tonight will be a good battle on both sides and should be a fun game to watch. This one gets personal for me as I played and coached at Evangel prior to coming to Jewell, so it will be bitter sweet. Then men also play tonight at 7:30 which will also be a thriller I'm sure as they are tied in conference and battle it out tonight. We would love to see everyone there; come out and support your favorite teams!
It's a greay day to be a Cardinal.

Two tough loses but bouncing back
The past week and a half has been humbling for us. We took on Baker last Thursday and lost 60-62. The game was back and forth the entire game. We shot 33% for the game, 4-23 from behind the arch and only 20-28 from the cherry stripe...not yout typical Lady Cardinal performance on the offensive end. If anything we learned that when shots aren't falling we've got to dig deeper defensively and make better decisions with the ball. We have and open look at the basket with only 3 seconds left on the clock, unfortunately it didn't fall so we had no chance at over time and Baker won by 2 points. It's always tough to lost what was a very capabale game to be won especially at home...but an eye opener.
Saturday we traveled to Avila where we hoped for a better performance and outcome. We had high hopes but again we fell short losing 63-64 to a banked in 3 pointer by Avila...ouch! What hurt even more is Jessica Stewart made a half court shot right after the buzzer which would have put us up 1 to win it...the inrony of it all! Defensively we didn't play well together and again made key mistakes. We had open looks at the basket in the end but couldn't connect on any of them. If we didn't feel bad enough after Thursday's loss we did after this one. It's always touch to lose but even more tough when you know you had opportunities to win the game. So what do we do now? ...we bounce back!!! We have another battle ahead of us against Evangel tomorrow night at home. Another top team in conference comes in to our house trying to take us down but we ready and we'll respond as a team. We've been working hard in practice and taking time to reflect on some things that we could have done differently in the previous games. We feel the losses but we aren't dwelling on them...great teams bounce back and get ready to play and we're doing just that.
We hope to see you all at the game tomorrow night and we thank you for all your support! The women's game starts at 5:30 with the men's game to follow at 7:30; both will be great battles to watch!
It's a great day to be a Cardinal!

Back in action after break
First off we hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! We went into Christmas break on a good note ending the first half of our seaon in Vegas where we won both games and shared some good times. We defeated Holy Names 82-67 and Fresno Pacific 73-62. The girls put together to strong outings to finish on a high note. Sophomore Katie Bond got a concussion in the second game leaving her out for the remainder of the game. She got her second concussion a couple days ago in practice again sidelining her. She will not be playing tonight as we take on Benedictine in our first game back from break. Freshman Holly Switzer will step in in her place. The girls came back strong and have been working hard in practice to get off to a good start in the second half of season. They are excited and ready to play as we travel to their place. Game times are woman at 5:30 and men at 7:30. We would love to see you all there but please allow yourself enough time and travel safe if you do decide to come.
Best wishes to all of you from your Cardinal family!
It's a great day to be a Cardinal.
