Saturday night we honored our seniors, Tara Lonergan and Selina Mann, for their time here as Mountaineers. It was our second to last home game in Knott Arena and we pulled out the victory for our seniors! We won our last home game Monday night against Long Island University, and now we will be hitting the road for our last trip of the regular season at Farleigh Dickinson and Monmouth. With our win on Monday night, we have clinched an NEC playoff berth!
It is hard to believe that it is senior night has already come and gone for these girls. They have had great careers and still have so much to achieve before they leave us.
Selina Mann, our point guard and tri-captain has been a floor general for our squad this year. Selina had a season high 20 points against UMES back in November at home. She does a great job distributing the ball and finding our shooters, she recorded 8 assists against LIU and 7 assists against Seton Hall, Robert Morris, and CCSU. She started the year 10th in program history in assists and has been moving her way up the ranks all season. Selina is also one of our best defenders, stepping up to the plate and guarding our opponent’s top guard. She had her season high 6 steals against Wagner. Prior to this season she ranked 6th all-time in steals at The Mount. Selina had 4 assists and 3 steals against LIU on Monday and 7 rebounds and 3 assists against St. Francis on Saturday.
Tara Lonergan has been a solid forward for our women's basketball program for the past four years. She has a very nice touch around the basket and one of the fastest post players in the conference. Tara has really stepped up in her senior season hitting a career high 15 points against Wagner. She grabbed seven boards at CCSU, Wagner and at home against CCSU. She ranks 8th in program history in blocked shots as a sophomore with 20 for the season. Tara ended up with 10 points against LIU on Monday, and 12 points in our win on Saturday for Senior Night.
Let's Go Selina Let's Go!
Taraaaaa!
Full Court DEFENSE!
