The lone loss of the season so far came to a fantastic
opponent in Saint Rose College. The 3rd ranked team in
the country at the time, Saint Rose posed a big challenge
than the Lady Panthers were prepared to meet head on.
While the statistics of the game would show that
Saint Rose dominated it, outshooting Adelphi 17-8 and
winning the corner advantage 10-2, Adelphi was able to
hold its own and really proved it belonged with the top
teams.
“We showed spirit, fight, heart, and went toe to toe
with one of the best teams in the country,” said Adelphi
head coach Chris Armas, “Any coach would be proud
of that effort and I believe wholeheartedly in the group
of girls we have.” There is no doubt that Armas and the
rest of Adelphi should be proud and excited at the recent
success of the program. Following a year in which
the Lady Panthers reached its first NE-10 Conference
Championship game, they look to be poised to return
to that game and take care of some unfinished business.
Since that loss, the Lady Panthers haven’t lost in
the last five contests. They played a 1-1 tie against
Assumption College, preventing them from carrying a
five game winning streak onto their next opponent.
All that remains on Adelphi’s schedule are
Northeastern-10 opponents, and they currently sit atop
those standings. It won’t be easy, but the Adelphi
Panthers seem to be the favorite to win their first
conference championship in program history.
