After losing their second game to St. Catherine’s, the Ladies experi- enced their first victory against Thomas Jefferson, 37-34. Following were victories against Petersburg, 42-23, and Hopewell, 43-32, and a loss to St. Gertrudes, 44-32. With the score 36-36 at the end of the game with Collegiate, the Ladies went into two overtimes before losing their fourth game, 40-38. The team then met John Marshall for the second time but found the ad- vantage and went ahead to defeat them, 34-23.
