"Toledo will be a great challenge for us on Tuesday and we look forward to the challenge and look to improve and get back on the winning track. The biggest turning point (against Campbellsville) was the night before in the second half against Lindsey Wilson who is ranked in the NAIA top 15. We came together as a team and it carried over in the game against Campbellsville.

RedHawks Valiant Comeback Effort Falls Short

     

Latimore's 16 paced the ‘Hawks attack while Don Davenport made a triumphant return to the lineup by adding 14 points and 8 rebounds in the effort. One-time player of the week Baile Barnett added 12 points and Adam White tallied 11 points in the effort. White connected on 3-of-8 from long distance.

"We had a bad two minute stretch in the first half and a bad five minute stretch in the second half. Against good teams like Campbellsville the margin for error is very small. I like the progress our team is making" Said first-year head coach Jason Hawkins.

(HOFFMAN ESTATES, Il) Tuesday night was the biggest and toughest challenge of the season for the RedHawks and first year coach Jason Hawkins as they squared off against perennial power and top-ranked Robert Morris from the Sears Centre. It looked like a colossal mismatch, as the 88-61 final score would indicate, but it was far from a mismatch. These young Hawks played very well throughout the night and were able to hang with the Eagles during stretches of the game. In the end however, the depth and the rebound disadvantage proved to be too much to overcome and the Eagles finally put the RedHawks away in the second half. Eagles center Kenny Ogbuokiri grabbed an amazing 17 first-half rebounds and set a program record for rebounds in a game with 23 while junior Tori Boyd had 7 boards in the first half and 10 in the game as the Eagles used a late first half run to lead 38-24 at the break.

After a resounding defeat against the University of St. Francis, the RedHawks look to get back in the winning column. But they face a very stiff test as they take on the Robert Morris Eagles Tuesday night at the Sears Centre in Chicago, IL.

 

The RedHawks were defeated this past Saturday 97-73 by the Fighting Saints of St. Francis and were pounded on the boards 46-26. The ‘Hawks surrendered 24 offensive boards.
