Senior Night At Massasoit

Tuesday night was Senior Night at Massasoit. Coach Pina honored Juliana Blanchette, Amanda Dutcher, Shannon Mullen, Shaleeka Rogers, and captain Joneiha Veiga who are playing there last season with the Lady Warriors.
Following the honoring of the seniors, the Lady Warriors dedicated the night to Corey Shea. Corey's little sister Kayla became the honorary 6th man that night sporting the Warriors shirt saying "Tenacious D Wins Championships!" along with a new pair of KG sneakers, given to her by the team. Kayla was very excited to be on the bench that night. Even though she has been to a Celtics game before, this was her first College game. Kayla's spunk and charisma was the talk of the Lady Warrior's bench that night. This young girl, who wants to try out for Hockey because of her love of Ice Skating, had an amazing time remember her older brother who she loves and misses. "My favorite memory of Corey is him holding me on our couch until I would fall asleep" said Kayla. Kayla has a lot ahead of her in life and the personality to charm a room and take her as far in life as she wants to go.
Even though Senior Night was one to remember, the Lady Warriors fell to Quinsigamond 48-52. Quinsigamond held Joneiha Veiga to only 7 points. Treasa O'Neil scored the most with 18 points and Katy Holt had 9 points. In the end, Quinsigamond had the better defense. "We left to many of their girls open," said Coach Pina. "We weren't sharing the ball enough and we were not finding the best shots."
Despite the lose, the Lady Warriors are 1 of 4 teams heading to the MCCAC State Tournament being help at Holyoke Community College today. The Ladies tap off at 2:00 pm against Springfield Tech.
Next weekend, the Lady Warriors wll be competing in the NJCAA New England where they will be playing at Quinsigamond CC against University of CT, Avery Point.
Good Luck Ladies.
