Big rebound for RMC-Springfield!

After starting 0-5 for the 2003-04 season, RMC got just what it needed, a win and a new spark!  RMC rolled over the weekend defeating Kennedy King College and Silver Lake College to capture the Silver Lake Tournament in Manitowoc, WI.  The results now have the lady eagle's with a record of 2-5.

The spark they found was in the form of 5'6" freshman guard Becky Hobson.  Hobson hit 9-of-12 from the 3-point range and averaged 22 points per game during the tournament and was named to the all-tournament team and tournament MVP!  Teammate April Roberts was also named to the all-tournament team averaging 10 points and six rebounds per game.
