HARRISONBURG, Va. – In the team's final tune-up prior to the regular season, the James Madison women's basketball team created plenty of production in all aspects of the game en route to an 84-39 exhibition win against Division II's Lenoir-Rhyne on Sunday afternoon at the JMU Convocation Center.
Â
The Dukes used big scoring runs early in the first half and stout defense to open up a 48-15 lead at the half. The reigning Colonial Athletic Association regular-season and tournament champions also outscored the Bears 36-24 over the final 20 minutes, utilizing reserve players for the latter part of the contest.
Â
"It's very important for us to put the uniforms on, have the pep band and cheerleaders here and see the faithful fans come out to see how the new-look Dukes are going to look and fare," Head Coach Kenny Brooks said. "It was good to watch kids rotate in and out and try to get in a rhythm."
Â
He continued, "I thought it was a good start. Lenoir-Rhyne is very scrappy and they played against N.C. State on Friday night in what was a two-point game at halftime. I don't know if you use that as a measuring stick but we did some good things and have things to work on but we have film and can critique it to prepare for UCLA.
