Lady Terriers beat Blackbirds as St. Francis sweeps basketball’s Battle of Brooklyn
St. Francis Brooklyn made a major statement last week when it swept the Battle of Brooklyn. The men’s team beat LIU Brooklyn at home on Thursday before the women’s team won in dominating fashion 69-48 at the Barclays Center on Saturday afternoon.
“When we come here normally (to watch the Nets) we’re three rows from the back where you can barely see the court,” Lady Terriers guard Eilidh Simpson said of playing at the Barclays Center. “To actually step out on to the court and to look up to the seats it was really cool. You are nervous to start the game, but as soon as the game starts you forget about where you are playing and who is watching you.”
