Hornet report

The Lyndon State women's basketball team has been on a roll of late, winning four of its last five non-conference contests for a North Atlantic Conference leading 4-2 record.

In the last week, the lady Hornets won two home games against Bay Path College and the college of St. Joseph's (Vt.). before dropping a game vs. Plymouth State.

On Friday Dec. 4, the team defeated a winless Bay Path College team by a score of 65-36. Donna Lawson had 15 points and six assists to lead the Hornets to the win.  Danielle Lafont chipped in nine points, all from behind the arc.

After dismantling Bay Path, Lyndon got back to work on Tuesday vs. an anemic St. Joseph's team and won 77-30.  St. Joseph's only had six players on their roster coming into the game and were quickly tired out by the Hornet's attack.

Lawson stepped up big again, picking up the double-double with 17 points and 11 assists in the win. Naomi White scored 12 points and nine boards, while Lafont helped out her teammates with a game high nine assists.

The women played the final home game of the fall portion of their schedule on Thursday vs. Plymouth State College.  Against a team that's considerably stronger than the opponents LSC faced in their previous four games, they lost by a 76-68 margin.

The lady Hornets play one more game this semester at New England College on Saturday.  They return to home action on Jan. 6 to play Norwich before an away game at Middlebury on Jan. 9.  Then the real test begins; the NAC conference games.  We'll have more on those matchups after the break.

Lyndon's club hockey team currently holds a 2-6 record after some close losses.  The team lost 8-7 to Castleton State College on Dec. 1. 

LSC then played a home game against Worcester Polytechnic Institute on Dec. 3, and lost by one point again, this time by a 6-5 margin.  The team traveled to New London, Conn. on Dec. 5 and defeated the United States Coast Guard Academy 6-2.

The hockey team's next game will be tonight at home at 8 p.m. vs. Castleton.  On Saturday, the team travels to WPI for the final game prior to break.
