Braves Douse Flames

[mike radigan]

The BU women built up an early 23 point cushion and hung on to post their first W of the new season 69 - 62. Five Braves were in double figures to lead a balanced scoring attack. There were lots of new faces in the lineup and at least 2 alums from last year's team watching from the stands.

The ladies now travel to Alaska for a tournament. I wish I was going with them. They return to the fieldhouse Tuesday, November 27 to host Eastern Illinois.

Devyn Flanagan had 10

Devyn is my fave player.

I like a lot of the girls, but of them.... I like Skye Johnson's quickness, Raisa Taylor has impressed me, and Monica Rogers has flat out got game (I love her shot)!

I don't pay much attention to the women's program, but what happened to Boogie's sister? Wasn't last year her junior year?

[Da Coach]

Jasmine Wright left the team last year and did not return this year. There was never any official news released, but from what I hear, she didn't get along with the coach. I think she saw herself as a 3-point shooter, which the team didn't need.

I'm sure I might get crap for this, but that hasn't stopped me before.....

Any chance we can trade the results of men's and women's games vs. UIC?
