FAU Women's Basketball: Growing as a Team

This past Thanksgiving weekend, the FAU women's basketball team competed in the Basketball Travelers Tip-off Classic in Lawrence, Kansas and played against 3 teams, two of which was selected to play in last year's season 2011 WNIT post-season tournament.

Before entering the tournament, the record was 3-1. The women's team lost all 3 games which brings the record to 3-4 that many would see as a bad thing,  but not to this team and the coaches.

"Although we lost these games, which I'm not proud of, we turned a corner," said assistant coach Cristal Randolph. "These games brought to our attention that, even though we lost, we are a great team. We only have minor things that can be fixed."

They all see this tournament as a learning experience and took notice to things that they do need to work on n practice.

"We lost these games because of lay-ups and free throws, which I preach to the team almost everyday about", said head coach Chancellor Dugan. " Although we weren't as successful during this trip, we never gave up and we continued to play til the end which we wouldn't have done last year and for that I see that we grew as a team and I am proud of them".
