Roberts out, Conference tourn underway

Sophomore sensation Brandie Roberts will be out the rest of the season due to a knee injury. Roberts was fouled hard and took a unfortunate fall during our last regular season game last Saturday against Lindenwood, thus ending her season all too quickly. Roberts MRI showed a shot meniscus which is lodged in the back of her knee, while blocking view of her ACL. At this point the doctor is uncertain of the amount of damage to her ACL but does think it is torn. He'll will not be able to determine the severity until he goes in to operate. We are obviously hoping for the "best case" scenario in this situation. Please keep Roberts in your prayers as she has a battle ahead of her.
The stays positive...with Roberts out the team is respoding! Sophomore Courtney McCartney filler the starting spot last night in our first round conference game against...Lindenwood. Senior Erica Ferguson led all scorers with 16 points (3-4 from beyond the arc!) and 6 rebounds. Senior Hillary Adams chipped in 11 points as Sophomore Katie Bond added 10 points and 7 rebounds. Freshman standout holly Switzer player a great game contributing 12 points (also 3-4 from the arc!) and 5 rebounds. This was a great team effort as everyone on the bench played and contributed to another great win. The game ended 72-41 in our favor!
Next up...round 2 against Baker Saturday night at 7pm at home! And tonight...the MEN TAKE ON EVANGEL IN ROUND 2 ...GOOD LUCK TO MEN!!! We'll be there to support you!
