This past weekend the Rock women took the floor for the
official start of the 2015-2016 season. On Friday night the Rock was able to
open the season with a 68-59 win over defending CIAA champion Virginia State
University. On Saturday afternoon the Rock added another opponent to the win
column as they defeated Chowan in a close game 64-62.
This past weekend proved that this years Rock team can
compete with anyone on their schedule. Friday’s game was back and forth all
night long as the Rock trailed by one after the first quarter. Going in to half
time Virginia State University and The Rock were tied at 26. Virginia State
picked up momentum coming out of halftime taking a six-point lead into the
finial quarter. However the Rock found a way to hold Virginia State to 15
points in the finial quarter and put up an impressive 30 points themselves.
Junior guard Lexi Carpenter lead all scores with 22 points. On the night she
went eight for nine from the free throw line and grabbed a total or five
rebounds.
On Saturday the Rock kept their win streak alive beating
Chowan in a nail bitter. At halftime the Rock lead 33-25. Chowan chipped into the Rock’s lead and made
it 50-46 heading into the finial quarter. Chowan and the Rock went back and
fourth all of the fourth quarter but the Rock was able to win by two points.
Erica Aiello and Carpenter lead the way for the Rock with 14 points apiece.
The Rock have a short time to celebrate these two wins as
they get ready to start PSAC conference play at Edinboro on Wednesday November,
18th at 5:30 pm.
