Lady Illini News

With a switch from men's to women's basketball, we have another "postitive loss". 6'3'' junior Jenna Smith had a season high that night, finishing with 18 points and 18 rebounds (her career high is 19 rebounds). So, for she and also junior Lacey Simpson, the loss resulted in a smile while walking off the court. The Lady Illini basketball team lost against the Iowa Hawkeyes 72-62 at home last Thursday. 6'1'' junior Simpson also had a positive night, finishing with 12 points and a career high 15 rebounds. The team had a season high 46 rebounds total.

As I was browsing through the Fighting Illini website...guess what I found?? One of the members of the men's golf team blogs too! I know the men's golf coach Mike Small personally....he's an old friend of my dads, he's a pretty funny guy. Although the golf team does not involve any recent news, I think an interview with Mr. Small may be in the future of my blog! The golf team has an extremely nice and fairly new indoor facility, where they can stay on top of their game in the off season. The team is focusing on school work and weight lifting right now, but will be ready to get on the course when spring rolls around.
