In large part due to the Lions’ current six-game winning streak, the women’s basketball team has earned itself a first-round bye in the upcoming New Jersey Athletic Conference tournament.
The College suffered two straight losses this past week, one against New Jersey City University on Feb. 6 and the other during an emotional Senior Day against Kean University on Saturday, Feb. 9.
The College had an unusual schedule this week with three games on Jan. 28, Jan. 30 and Saturday, Feb. 2 against Rutgers University-Newark, Rutgers University-Camden and Ramapo College respectively.
With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season, the women’s basketball team knows that a New Jersey Athletic Conference loss has significant postseason implications.
In the midst of winter break, the women’s basketball team ventured into the heart of its schedule, yielding a 7-5 record since Dec. 5 and ultimately bringing the team to an 11-8 overall record for the season.
Over the past 11 games, the College has pulled in a 7-4 record, which included a victory against Montclair State University, a big win in the Washington and Lee Tournament and a five-game winning streak coming off the tournament.
The Lions got back on track following a loss to Stockton University, winning two games against Rowan University and Rutgers University-Newark at home this past week.
Coming off a slow 1-3 start to open the season, the Lions bounced back to win their next two games, beginning with their overtime road win against conference rival Rowan University.
