February 2012
The Dyrick McDermott Invitational Basketball Tournament held at MSVU created some team adversity with an injury to league MVP Chelsea MacKay early in the first game of the round robin tournament. However the team maintained their composure and played solid defense to finish the tournament with a 2-1 record with solid wins over nationally ranked Champlain College and Trois Rivieres both from the Quebec conference.
Since then the team has continued to play without MacKay and have a 13-2 record in conference play. The team has focused on the defensive and led by third year Captain Christina Brien. Ann Conrod, Emma Reardon and Laura Himmelman have stepped up their games during a very tough stretch in their season where they play 5 games in 10 days including 3 road games. Coach Forward has been very proud of the team and the way they are battling through the adversity and committing to the game plans.
