THE HOOP COLLABORATIVE 42-0
Wednesday, February 5th marked the second annual National Girls and Women’s Sports event, hosted by The Hoop Collaborative and the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun at Massasoit Community College. In 2023, Kam Washington (CEO of Diverse Drip) introduced me to Coach Mitch, also known as Herc 42. I assume the “42” comes from his jersey number, though…

UMASS BOS V WESTERN CT STATE 60-44
The UMASS team I saw last week is a completely different squad from the one that played against Western Connecticut this week. The girls really showed up and showed out. After being down by 14 points going into the second quarter, they managed to finish with a 24-point lead over Western Connecticut. UMASS Boston took…

BOSTON UNIVERSITY V HOLY CROSS 52-49
Big win for the Boston University ladies tonight! After a tough five-game losing streak, they really turned things around and dominated. I finally got the chance to see Boston University play—missed last week’s game against Navy, but tonight definitely made up for it. Plus, I’m pretty sure this was my first time covering college basketball…

UMB V UMD 46-69
UMASS vs. UMASS… I’m starting to wonder if school is back in full swing because the stands should have been packed. The game was early—definitely the earliest I’ve ever been to a college game (2 PM

BOSTON SHARKS (ABA) 150-147
Boston Sharks had a double over-time with Vermont but they made it out with a 3 point lead.Nick even with a wrapped hand made it to the free throw line. Slowly by surely heads were peeking in the court to witness what was happening. Both teams fought hard but as I say “Sharks bite harder”.…

RCC V UCONN AVERY POINT 16-98
The RCC Tigers (Girls) faced a tough defeat against UCONN Avery Point. In sports, sometimes it’s important to go back to the basics and remember where it all began. Numerous turnovers contributed to the Tigers’ loss, but they continued to fight hard. The Tigers also found themselves in foul trouble, often making small mistakes, such…

BELMONT V WOBURN 59-65
Tough loss for the Belmont Marauders tonight. They put up a great fight, but with some questionable calls, they came up just short, losing by under 6 points. Coach Jeter, not overly loud, but never quiet, she knows how to get her point across, and the team responds. It’s clear that her approach is effective.
