Women’s basketball drops tight contest against NJIT

The women’s basketball team had opportunities down one possession in the fourth quarter against the New Jersey Institute of Technology, but couldn’t quite convert offensively, losing 64-60 at home on Wednesday. Ball movement was the theme early for the Leopards (1-2 overall), as they scored off of assists on seven of their eight baskets in the first quarter. Senior forward Tasha Chudy collected four assists in the opening period against the Highlanders (4-0 overall), dropping dimes to her teammates on cuts to the basket. “We started out with really good intensity, and I think that intensity came off of us making hard cuts, making hard plays, so when we play hard like that, those opportunities are going to be there,” Chudy said. Though the Leopards went 0-for-2 from downtown in the first quarter, they made up for it with frequent paint touches, generating looks at the basket off dribble drives, and taking a 17-11 lead.
