What another good game so far.
Saints dig themselves into a hole down 7-17 halfway through the 1st quarter only to go on an 11-0 run to end the 1st. Siena up18-17 after 1.

Iona’s better players are mostly upper class men; Siena one if not the youngest team in all of NCAA D1 with mostly frosh and sophs.

Half way through the 3rd and Siena still leads 45-39. I’m telling you; these women and coaches do not disappoint.
After their win in Thursday undermanned; I feel we can win the MAAC this year!!!

Fun stat. Siena scored 18 points in each of the first three quarters. If they can do that in the 4th; they should win. 🙂

Iona up, 66-64; reviewing to see if still Siena ball, 11 seconds left. Review/reply overrules and awards ball to Iona. Need a quick foul, hope they miss and somehow make a basket to tie or win it. |

Good game. They scrapped and fought just came up a little short. Inexperience hurt at times. But still had a chance to take the lead in the last minute just didn't happen. Iona senior guard from Spain was a tough matchup. Too big and strong for Siena's smaller guards and too quick for the bigger ones. I thought she made the difference. One of eight foreign players on the Iona roster.

The Saints put up a good fight but falls to Iona 66-68. I S I watched most of game. I have two questions . Did E. Selimovic get hurt? She plays hard and when I saw her today she was playing effectively. Out of the playing group she played the least-only 18 minutes today. Why not use her to defend Mager who was able to spot up for 11 three point shots. If she was injured my questions are academic. |
