Women's Basketball Drops Season Opener Despite Strong Second Half

West Point, NY – The Army Women's Basketball team fell in their season opener despite a strong second half.

How it Happened

The Highlanders opened the scoring with a couple of free throws to take an early lead. In her collegiate debut, freshman Fiona Hastick dropped the Black Knight's first points of the game hitting a short jumper to make it 4-2. Freshman forward Kya Smith drew a foul on her three-point attempt at the six-minute mark where she drained all three shots. The Highlanders would go on a 15-point run that was stopped by a Trinity Hardy jumper with just over a minute left.
