1/28 Basketball Drops to CNU 63-81

The Squirrels had a rough night in the Freeman Center while facing the Captains of CNU.

MBC kept it close in the early portion of the first half, being down by only one after a Kara Hawkins basket with 13:36 left in the half. The Captains would open up a ten point lead with 10:20. The Squirrels would be down by only 2 points, but a large run at the end of the half would put the Captains up 36-24 at the end
of the half.

Baldwin wouldn't stop playing in this one and had their chances,
being down by only three points with 6:51 left in the game. Sadly,
turnovers in the closing minutes would put the Squirrels too far
behind to rally once again, losing 63-81

Kara Hawkins led the team with 17 points and 9 boards, Christie
Hamilton added 15 points, while Iiesha Ricks chipped in 14 points.

The Squirrels are back at home this Saturday 1/31 to face the
Battling Bishops of NC Wesleyan at 2pm. Come out and buy
a shirt to support the "Pink Zone" game and the fight against
breast cancer. [Box]
