OUR VIEW Women’s basketball plays hard to end

Vanderbilt’s NCAA tournament run came to an end Monday; yet, it was not for any lack of eff ort. While the Lady Dores were matched against the top ranked team nationally at Memorial Gym, they left no loose ball unchallenged and no shot uncontested. Playing against one of the toughest and most talented teams in the country was a diffi cult task to say the least. However, the Commodores responded with vigor and determination. Midway through the second half they were only down by three points. Despite the loss the 89-70 loss, it was a game that illustrated why a competitive women’s sports program is so crucial to Vanderbilt’s campus. Hosting the top ranked team in the country in our own gymnasium brought attention to Vanderbilt in a nationally televised event.
