Women’s club basketball falls in state tournament semifinals

Last weekend the women’s basketball club went 3-1 at the Wisconsin Intramural-Recreational Sports Association state tournament at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. The team went 2-0 in pool play before advancing to and losing in the semifinals to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse team.

The team’s semester record of 16-7, with both players and coaches happy with the progress they’ve seen over the past couple games. Studentcoaches Jimmy Mortillaro and president Anna Lansdowne weren’t discouraged by the semifin3al loss.

“For the most part, we played some of the best basketball we’ve played all year,” Mortillaro said. “Of the losses we’ve had, (UW-La Crosse) was the only team that was truly better than us.
