MONARCHS BEAT THE TRIBE...TOO EASY

The Monarchs, led byFrank Hassell, defeated the Tribe of William and Mary Wednesday night 69-53.  Hassell scored 21 points and had 11 boards. Kent Bazemore also had a good night contributing 14 points with a career high 12 boards.  The Monarchs also received more contribution off the bench, as Kenyon Carter had 12 points.  This victory puts the Monarchs at 19-6 overall and 10-4 in the CAA.

Frank Hassell 21 points, 11 boards

With this victory the Monarchs get another CAA win for their resume.  This is a major bounce back from the defeat suffered in the previous game by George Mason.  This wasn't even close, I suppose because the Tribe of William and Mary are not having a good year at all.  With that said, though this win isn't super impressive the Monarchs could not afford to have lost this match up.  I think that the George Mason game may have been a fluke, though the Patriots are a great team.  The Monarchs face the Rams of VCU next, that game will be Saturday the 12th in Richmond.  After suffering defeat in the last match up the Monarchs look to get a win on the road, which unlike last nights game, will be a resume booster if they win.
