STORM TO TAKE ON D-I VIKINGS: The Lake Erie
College women's basketball team will play its second game in as
many weeks against an NCAA Division I opponent on Wednesday
afternoon, Dec. 23, when it makes the short trip west to take on
Cleveland State University at the Wolstein Center. The Storm
snapped a two-game losing streak on Monday night with a 77-65 win
over area rival Notre Dame College. The Vikings have won two
straight, including a thrilling 77-75 overtime win at home against
Indiana University on Saturday afternoon.
LAST TIME OUT FOR THE STORM: The Storm broke
out of its two-game slump with a wire-to-wire 77-65 win over Notre
Dame on Monday night. Four players scored in double figures led by
junior Alyssa Wagers (Stow, Ohio/Stow-Munroe Falls) with a
career-high 22 points. Wagers also grabbed 10 boards for her sixth
double-double of the year. Sophomore Jen Caiola (Chagrin
Falls, Ohio/Chagrin Falls) hit five three-pointers on her way to 19
points and classmate Stephanie Rogers (Mentor, Ohio/Mentor) scored
14 points and led all players with 11 rebounds and a career-high
six blocks. Senior Renese Ames (Bedford, Ohio/Bedford) was
the other LEC player in double figures with 10 points. The
Storm shot 46.2% and held Notre Dame to just 31.8%.
BEST START IN SCHOOL HISTORY: With eight wins
in the first 14 games, Lake Erie is off to the best start in
program history. Prior to this, the earliest a Storm team
reached eight wins was 15 games during the 1982-83, 1991-92 and
2007-08 seasons.
30th SEASON OF STORM HOOPS: This is the 30th
season in Lake Erie women's basketball history dating back to the
1978-79 season. To date, the Storm has posted an overall
record of 160-496 (.243). However, 29 percent of the
program's all-time wins have come in the last five seasons under
head coach Bob Booher.
UP NEXT: The Storm opens the final week of 2009
on Monday night, Dec. 28, at future GLIAC foe Tiffin University.
Tip-off is at 6 p.m.
