Few games have been played, but the University of La Verne women's basketball team is already seeing the impact of its hard work. The Leopards squared off against the College of Notre Dame Argonauts on Saturday in the Supertents, and although they lost, 58-50, the game served as a good reference point in tracking their progress.
The sounds of hard work can be heard on weeknights in the Supertents. Yells of encouragement from teammate to teammate, the basketball bouncing off the hardwood, and 13 pairs of shoes stomping down as the players change direction during sprints.
Basketball is a game of heart and hustle. The University of La Verne women's basketball team lost to the Occidental Tigers, 74-63, Tuesday, but it was not because it did not have heart.
With growing anticipation, the University of La Verne women's basketball team is diligently preparing for the upcoming 1997-98 season with the hopes that it can better last year's mark of 13-12 overall.
The University of La Verne softball team did not end the season as it would have liked, 17-22, but all the work and dedication throughout the season did pay off.
