First Loss for Women's Basketball

James Madison women's basketball fell to 6-1 after losing at Liberty on Tuesday night, 79-66. The closest JMU got in the second half was 59-54 with nine minutes, 51 seconds remaining.

A telling statistic: JMU made only four of 22 three pointers, and freshman point guard Dawn Evans made just one of 12 attempts from behind the arc. The Dukes made 36.1% of their field goal attempts, while Liberty made 52.8%. For more on the game, read this article from the Daily News-Record.

Dawn Evans was just named Colonial Athletic Assocation Rookie of the Week for the third time in four weeks, but it's safe to say somebody else will get the award after this week.
