What we learned from the Huskies over break

The women’s basketball team (10-6, 2-3 Mid-American Conference) has had a successful 2017-18 season thus far and it will be looking forward to their remaining opponents being all MAC teams as conference play is in full swing.

Here are three takeaways from the teams’ action over holiday break.

1. The loss of sophomore guard Janae Poisson was tough, but dealing with another ACL tear by sophomore guard Myia Starks will be even tougher.

The sophomore guard out of Neuqua Valley has been a leader on and off the court this season. The 5 foot, 4 inch explosive guard resembles a female version of Russell Westbrook with her grit and sheer willingness to win every game.
