FIND US ON FACEBOOK! WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/UAMAGAZINE 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. 12 WWW.ULTIMATEATHLETEMAGAZINE.COM
