We enjoyed the presence of our alumni at Darby Gym yesterday as the Pioneers competed against Lake Forest. After a thrilling alumni game vs. Grinnell football, our alumni enjoyed lunch at the dining hall before the men's and women's games and stayed for a small reception in the afternoon. It was a pleasure to meet some former Pioneers and enjoyed hearing the stories of their time in Darby!
Despite losing by 10 points, the Pioneers but up the best effort of the year yesterday versus the Foresters. We played smart defense and executed on the offensive end with solid passes and simple plays. Our focus on the fundamentals during the week was evident as our rebounding was significantly better and our turnovers were at a season low.
Our challenge as we move forward is to play a full 40 minutes of this high level of basketball. Can we extend ourselves and put two complete halves together? If we can, then our upcoming games versus Beloit and Ripon will be very exciting.
I am proud of our effort this weekend. Well done Pioneers.
