This season, the women’s and men’s basketball programs started off on the same day and at home. Visiting from Emmitsburg, Maryland were the Lady Mountaineers of Mount Saint Mary’s University. It might have been a long trip down I-81 (with a jog across the mountains to get there) but these warm-up games can be a surprise. So, the Hokies needed to take the court in total seriousness.
Look, honestly this campus and town need a bit of cheering up after the fiasco of a football season, and the players defending the Cassell rose to the occasion. The game did start out just a tad bit on the slow side, though.
