Blue Angels fall to Martin Luther College
Milwaukee, WI- Coming off a loss in which they held a lead for much of the game, the Mount Mary basketball team hoped to rebound in their second game of the season against Martin Luther College. However, MMU was unable to rebound both literally and figuratively as MLC controlled the glass and the game and won by a 73-46 score. The Knights of Martin Luther College wasted no time jumping on the young Blue Angel squad. Putting up a 27 point first quarter which would help them establish a lead they would not relinquish. Two consistant areas of concern for MMU so far in the very young season are turnovers and getting hurt on the defensive glass. For the game MLC had a staggering 26 offensive rebounds and forced the Blue Angels into 24 turnovers. Skye Giddings lead the Blue Angels in scoring for a second straight game, she scored 14 points, highlighted by 8-10 shooting from the free throw line. Fellow first year player Deja Rivers scored 11 points and added 7 rebounds. India Lucas scored 9 points and added 7 rebounds, Talesa Campbell also scored six for the Blue Angels, and Alexus Hatcher snared 9 rebounds. Mount Mary (0-2) will have another chance to acquire their first win of the season quickly, as they are back in action at home on Saturday, November 12th. The Blue Angels will host the Wolfpack of Oak Hills Christian at 1 pm in the Bloechl center. Follow all goings on within MMU athletics here on www.mtmaryathletics.com
