Women's hoops wins two

By Justin Evans | November 26, 1996

When women's basketball coach Chris Wielgus went recruiting this past off-season, she went looking for height, and she got with two six-foot centers, but it was the shortest recruit of them all, Courtney Banghart, standing at 5'6" who led the Green over Army on Sunday. Coming off the bench, Banghart's 15 points in her 16 minutes of court time led the Big Green to a 69-48 win over the Knights. If the score didn't convey the total domination that was exhibited by the Big Green, perhaps one simple statistic will do the job.

Volleyball closes out season

By Justin Evans | November 19, 1996

"Ughhh," said Janna Merryfield '00 after the women's volleyball team was eliminated from the Ivy League Tournament this weekend. Indeed, it was a weekend of frustration for the Big Green, as the team's high hopes were dashed by a loss to Harvard on Friday, 15-12, 15-13, 6-15, 16-14, and a loss in the consolation bracket to Yale on Saturday, 15-12, 15-7, 16-14. After a loss to the fourth-seeded Crimson earlier this season, the Big Green were looking for revenge, but a slow start hurt the team. "Harvard came out more ready to play," Coach Ann Marie Larese said.
