That's a lot of points for a small mid-major team. Impressive.

FINAL NU 82-70
Best FG% I've seen for WBB this season at 45.3% and FT% 79 at 19/24.
Also, TO's way down to 11 v 20 for the Griffs.
Angel P had 21 and Aliyah 13 to lead NU.
NU now 8-2 just behind Iona at 8-1.

Question is with the majority of students female, where are they?
Not in the gym supporting women's team!

[jhart]

Only 500 in the gym and that probably includes season ticket no shows.
Surprised sharp shooter Hicks only had one FG attempt in 11 minutes.

Nice win for the Purps. NU is currently in 2nd place in the MAAC at 7-2, a game behind the Gaels.
