Feb. 1, 2010 Princess Anne, MD - Both the men's and women's basketball teams were busy this week, playing a combined five games in six days. The men's and women's track teams were also in action, where another individual record was broken at the Penn State National Invitational. Heading into the weekend, the women's bowling team was ranked number two in the nation, and had the top spot in their sights at the Kutztown Invitational.
Men's Basketball
Senior Neal Pitt (Fort Washington, Md.) recorded his second straight double-double as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore men's basketball team fell to Morgan State, 91-54, Monday night at the Hill Field House. Pitt scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and was joined by Hillary Haley (Oxon Hill, Md.) in double-digit scoring, who had 11 points of his own. Haley went 7-for-10 from behind the arc and scored 33 points to lead the University of Maryland Eastern Shore men's basketball team over Howard, 67-66, at the W.P. Hytche Athletic Center Saturday. Haley's previous career-high in points was 22, which he scored at Marquette on November 17. He also broke his career highs in field goals with 11 (previous was eight, also at Marquette) and 3-pointers made with seven (previous was two, which he had done twice). Women's Basketball Senior April McBride (New Rochelle, N.Y.) and freshman Chelsea Sanders (Rochester, N.Y.) both collected double-doubles but Morgan State was too much for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore women's basketball team as the Lady Bears pulled away in the second half for a 65-51 win at Hill Field House Monday. Sanders and junior Casey Morton (Mardela Springs, Md.) combined for 33 points as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore women's basketball team downed North Carolina Central, 64-43, in front of 1,497 at the William P. Hytche Athletic Center Wednesday. Howard's Saadia Doyle and Zykia Brown combined for 54 points as the Lady Bison topped the University of Maryland Eastern Shore women's basketball team 55-51 in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference game at the William P. Hytche Athletic Center Saturday. Doyle tallied a game-high 32 points on 8-of-15 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Brown had 22, three boards and three steals. UMES was led by Sanders with 17 points. Track Freshman Marcus Brown (Gaithersburg, Md.) had another record-breaking day in the men's weight throw this weekend as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore men's and women's track and field teams competed in the Penn State Invitational at the Penn State-Ashenfelter Track. Brown, who placed 14th in the weight throw event, threw a distance of 16.52 meters, besting his previous school record of 14.63 meters that he set on December 11, 2009 at the Coach O Collegiate Invitational at UMES. Bowling Arguably the nation's hottest team, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) have maintained their second place ranking in the latest National Tenpins Coaches Association (NTCA) poll. The Lady Hawks, winners of their last two tournaments, have gone 27-7 since the last poll and posted first-place finishes in their last two events. Upcoming Week The men's and women's basketball teams will host Hampton Monday night before heading to Norfolk State Saturday. The men's and women's track teams will compete in duel events next week - the Armory New Balance Games in New York City and the Yale Giegengack Invitational in Hartford. |
