Lady Hornets clinch playoff apperance
The women's basketball team has joined the men's team in earning a spot in the North Atlantic Conference postseason tournament for the first time ever.
With a 6-4 conference record to date, the women sit at fourth place in the NAC standings and are statistically untouchable by the bottom two teams in the conference. Green Mountain (1-9 NAC) and Johnson State (0-10 NAC), who Lyndon beat 66-44 on Tuesday, have all but been eliminated from post-season contention.
Sophomore forward Donna Lawson scored 21 points and picked up 19 boards in the game at Johnson. Naomi White scored 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds, and Ariel McConkey added another 10 in the win. McConkey was named NAC rookie of the week on Monday for the second time in three weeks.
Before cruising to victory against an anemic Johnson squad, the lady Hornets fell on Saturday 100-78 against a Husson team that currently sports a conference leading 9-1 record. Last Friday, Feb. 4, the team defeated a tough Maine Maritime (7-3 NAC) team by a final score of 81-68.
Over the span of those two games last weekend, Lawson amassed 35 points and 21 rebounds, while White picked up 38 points and 18 rebounds.
The lady Hornets also have four games remaining in the conference, two games away at Me-Farmington and Thomas today and tomorrow. They then return to Stannard Gymnasium to play their final regular season games on Tuesday vs. Green Mountain and Saturday against a tough Castleton team. Castleton beat LSC 82-46 last week. Their first NAC postseason game ever is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 22, during our winter break.
