Chelsea Rourke blocked a shot in the first minute. She took a shot from a Boro player (no idea if it was intentional so I will assume not) and blood was gushing from her nose. She did not return. GU got into early foul trouble but defended well and was down 11-7 after 1. Could have been a whole lot worse.
GU settled down and was up by 5 at half and 8 after 3q. Boro went cold from behind the arc hitting only 1 of 15 for a spell.
Barnes has 26 but she was defended well if that makes sense. Sydney Mitchell has 17 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. Obenrader has her usual double double.
Great win after losing one of their top players. Super charged up crowd - Boro brought fans. Gannon is 23-6 and seems to be in good shape barring upsets in both PSAC and MEC.
Ship and Shepherd women's game got a little chippy. Shepherd brought a fairly large and very vocal contingent to the game, and I noticed a couple of the Ship players waving "bye bye" to them after the game ended. That's going to be a real rivalry next year as I think both teams have almost all their players coming back.

Most students will start leaving our campuses today for Spring Break ...the rest will leave tomorrow. Too bad they can't time this better with the basketball postseason. LOL.
GU takes the lead early and Ship never got it under double figures in the second half. Solid performance all around. Rourke played well with her mask. Good to see Sam Pirosko contributing after her injury.
Not sure who to pull for in the second game. Obviously GU has a better chance beating East Stroudsburg on a neutral court compared to beating IUP at the KCAC, but an IUP win all but guarantees the Lady Knights an NCAA bid. The only way the #6 team can not get a bid is for all three conference tourneys to have surprise champs.
Regardless, a great performance and a 24-win season with a spot in the conference championship game far exceeded my expectations going into this season!

GU can certainly win tomorrow. Keep in mind the crowd will be less than full force. Expect many to be in Shippensburg tomorrow. Weather is great.
