Officials ruining the game both ways in the first quarter.

Need to swallow their whistles.

Need to hit a few more shots, but they are getting pretty good looks.

Good team. Stopped the opponents run and then stretched out to take a lead. Go stags! Finish out in 4Q.

[typhaon]

Gotta win the tough ones and they did.

[stag79]

Yes. Good finish. Stayed true to their offense. Excellent passing.

[FU73]

Stags 64-51 for the win. Stags are now (12-1)(4-0 MAAC) (W10)

Meghan Andersen with 19 points and 7 boards
Janelle Brown with 16 points and 8 boards
Kaety L'Armoreaux with 12 points and 1 board
Kendall McGruder with 11 points and 3 boards

"I thought it was good for us to have to gut out a win against a very good team," Head Coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis said. "That was something that we reminded our team in the third quarter. We're not always going to be in a 20-point game every game so we have to find ways against really good teams to execute, to play with poise, and play together and I think we did that."

"We stuck together and to beat a good team we have to be connected," Coach Thibault-DuDonis said. "I thought we lost it there a little bit but I'm proud we were able to regain our composure."

Two solid wins in Buffalo. Still good to see the variety of players stepping up and making plays when others are not...signals a good team that can do that! Gotta stay out of foul trouble, you have Brown, Lamreaux, Andersen all with foul issues that game. Brown got lucky on the one call they did not make on the offensive rebound with 2 minutes left, would have been her 5th foul and might have changed the game a bit. I thought the officating was pretty poor that game for sure.

[typhaon]

The officiating wasn't great - but I thought it was reasonably equal in its poor quality.

Yes, this officiating team desperately needs a refresher course or more experience.

Calls were horrible both ways.
