The men’s basketball team started the new year off right, with a 77-54 win over Calumet College of St. Joseph. They fell to Saint Xavier University Jan. 8 with a close score of 79-76, but came back with two more wins on their home court against Saint Ambrose University Jan. 11, 91-73, and Judson University Jan. 15, 97-67.
The Titans hit the road to Holy Cross College just across town today, Jan. 22, at 7:30 p.m.
“The season has been up and down, full of hard times and good times, and I am hoping for more good times. I believe more opportunities will come for us to be able to show who we are as a team and we will be able to win our conference,” guard Deshon Burnett said. “For my senior year I feel it is going pretty good, I just want to do whatever I can to help the team out.”
The women’s team has also been putting in a lot of work this season. They were back in action Jan. 4, and they, too, started the year off with a sweeping win over Lawrence Tech, 103-58. Following that on the road to Saint Xavier University, they secured another win with a score of 80-67. On their home court Jan. 11 and 15, the women Titans came out with two more wins against Saint Ambrose University, 65-62, and Judson University, 91-55.
They are also back in action today, Jan. 22, at Holy Cross at 5:30 p.m. Leading the Titans this season has been Senior Tenleigh Phelps, who is currently averaging about 20 points a game. Following not too far behind her is Senior Jazmen Watts, bringing an average of about 14 points a game. With those two together, the Titans seem to be unbeatable this season. With only two losses in their whole season, the Titans look to continue an outstanding season.
