Siena women's basketball loses in return to MVP Arena
Sophomore guard Francesca Schiro had 30 points for the Saints, who lost their second straight game to fall to 1-2.
The Siena women's basketball team returned to MVP Arena for the first time in four years, facing off against Binghamton in the America East-Metro Basketball Challenge on Sunday. The Bearcats emerged victorious with a 79-73 win, thanks largely to the impressive performance of Kendall Bennett, who scored 27 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
Siena's Francesca Schiro led the Saints with 30 points. The Bearcats' strong defense, particularly in the paint, where they dominated with 42 points compared to Siena's 25, proved to be the key factor in their success. Siena coach Terry Primm acknowledged that the team needed to play with more force and cohesion, as they allowed Kendall Bennett to have a significant impact. Despite the loss, Siena will continue its season with a game against Syracuse at JMA Wireless Dome.
