Mustangs Struggling in Semifinals

Radford shooting efficiently, leads at the half

George Mason is struggling to stop Radford's Maryah Sydnor inside, and the Mustangs trail 36-16 at the half of their semifinal match up. The Bobcats are shooting efficiently, and the Mustangs are struggling to maintain possession of the ball on offense, turning the ball over frequently on long forced passes. The Bobcats outscored the Mustangs 20-5 in the second quarter.

The 6-foot-1 Sydnor has 24 points at the midway point, and has proven herself effective from all over the court, even running the point on some possessions.

Lauren Kane leads the Mustangs with six points, and Stephanie Cheney has five. Ashley Alexander, averaging just under 11 points per game, has been held scoreless.

Alexander landed hard on her knee early in the first quarter and came out of the game, but returned a minute later and appeared to be moving well.
