Good morning. The boss has spoken. Here’s what Athletics Director John Hardt has to say about all things Spider Athletics.

What else are we mixing into today’s edition?

🏀 Women’s 1,000th win
🎾 Women defeat Bucknell
🕷️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Triple 20. Even with a slow second quarter, the women’s basketball team came out with a 79-60 dub against Fordham. The team scored 20+ points in three quarters, with its highest being 27 points in the first quarter. The Spiders recorded their 1,000th win and remain undefeated at home with 17 straight wins in the Robins Center. This is the sixth-longest win streak for the NCAA DI teams. 🏀 Here’s what happened.

🔼 Even it Up. The women’s tennis team added another dub to its record after defeating Bucknell 6-1. The Spiders swept the doubles competition for one point and only had one loss in singles. The women are now 2-2 overall. 🎾 See each match score here.

🤔 SPIDERS TRIVIA

So Close. The men’s lacrosse team had a tough matchup for its season opener against No. 6 Maryland. The game went into multiple overtimes, with Maryland, unfortunately, scoring the game-winning goal.

Today’s question— how many overtimes did the game go into?
