MEN'S BASKETBALL AT PLYMOUTH STATE
Approx. 3 PM Tip
At long last, conference play!
This post comes to you from Plymouth, New Hampshire where the Corsairs are making their annual stop to kickoff the 2009-10 conference slate. We're accustomed to seeing banks of snow everywhere when we come up here, but it's a beautiful, clear day up here today.
On the women's side, the Corsairs stand at 2-4, coming off back-to-back heartbreakers earlier this week. The Corsairs fell at Bridgewater 60-57 on Tuesday night and then lost 61-57 at home to Salve Regina Thursday night in a very similar game. The Panthers, on the other hand, are on a roll. Plymouth State comes in with a perfect 6-0 record. This week, they've notched a 77-60 Tuesday night victory at Colby-Sawyer and a Thursday night 80-64 win at home over Salem State. Plymouth also took a 72-51 opening night victory over Johnson and Wales, who the Corsairs will play on Thursday night.
Although PSU swept the season series with UMD last year, these two games were among the most competitive games the Corsairs turned in during a winless season in conference. Back on February 21 of this year, the Corsairs had a lead as large as 13 in the second half before squandering it due to fatigue -- the Corsairs had only six uniformed players for that game. Tashauna Ashmeade hit a three pointer at the buzzer to force overtime, but the Corsairs ran out of gas....and players. Two Corsairs fouled out in overtime, leaving them to finish the 68-59 loss with only four players on the floor. On January 17, the Corsairs lost 81-73, although they were in the game until the final minute. In that game, now-graduated Vicki Andruskiewicz poured in 25 points, a season high.
Tipoff coming in about 20 minutes here from Plymouth. I'll be back with some men's info between games.
