With the win, SU (1-0) moves onto the tournament finals on Saturday against Salisbury University . The Sea Gulls advanced with an 88-35 win over Christendom Friday evening in the opening game of the tournament.

Women’s Basketball

CHESTERTOWN, Md. – The women’s basketball team was not as fortunate as the men; Coach Kathy Orsini’s women fell in the opening round of the Washington College Sho’Time Shootout 73-63 to Virginia Wesleyan.

Shenandoah (0-1) will now face host Washington College in the consolation game on Saturday at 1:00 . Marietta ( Ohio ) defeated the host Shorewomen 90-85 to earn the finals berth.

The Hornets were plagued with poor shooting the first half of the contest as Virginia Wesleyan (1-0) jumped out to a 37-24 halftime advantage. SU shot just 10 for 30 (33.3 percent) prior to the intermission.

Senior Misty Towery ( Martinsville , Va./Prince Edward) led four players in double figures with 13 points. That output ties her career high.
