Quite a game in Amherst. . .a few thoughts:

1.  Neither team could shoot a three - in the end the poor three point shooting hurt Amherst more than Tufts. 

2.  Jill Henrikson Pace bookended the Amherst losses at home.  She was a first year player for Bowdoin 121 games ago, and an assistant coach for Tufts today.

3.  Baptista is a force.  She does everything well and presents major match up problems. 

Congratulations to the Amherst seniors for their tremendous four year record.  Tough loss on senior day.

Solid, special win for the Jumbos.

Congratulations to Tufts! 

They are making this deep run without Hannah Foley on the court and yesterday Josie Lee had 4 fouls and sat on the bench for a long time.  Pretty amazing the way the Tufts players step up when needed for each other. 

Either Binkhorst, Brady, or Phelps has been the high scorer for each of Bowdoin's 27 games this year.  A third offensive presence was missed.

Congratulations to Tufts.  Well played on both sides of the ball.     

Hannah Graham named one of three finalists for Miss Maine Basketball today.  I believe the last MMB finalist on the Bowdoin roster was Jill Henrikson '12.

Very difficult year for Megan.  Her father, Scott, six days shy of 45 years old, passed away in October, 2014.  Megan is the oldest of four children and a tremendous leader.  She is a gritty player from Mount Desert Island, the largest island off the coast of Maine, and grew up in Southwest Harbor. Every senior knows how many possible games are left in their career and it's exceptionally tough when those final games are unexpectedly taken away.  Megan's dad's death and her season ending injury will provide strong motivation for the Polar Bears as they finish out their season.   

Jill Henrikson was also ranked #1 in the country during her tenure at Bowdoin in FTs, but I am unsure how long she held onto that spot.  Henrikson's .832 career free throw percentage is first all-time at Bowdoin, but it looks like her record is in jeopardy.  Those are extremely impressive stats by Marle Curle, and if she or Sarah Binkhorst earn the top spot, it will be well earned and deserved.

Henrikson's career will be fun to follow, having moved on from Bowdoin to coach at Smith and earn a masters in Exercise Science and Sports Studies, and now to the number one assistant at Tufts. 

D3wbbfan,
Thank you for your classy response.  That game is memorable to me because it was my last visit to LeFrak and the last play was unforgettable if you were there; the final play is comparable to Liz Moynihan's epic 3 at the buzzer against UNE last March.  Both final plays are noteworthy. 

Amh63,
Pouring sunlight on a game that has as much significance as Amherst's lone loss at home is a positive contribution to this board.

"(He's only lost one home game *ever* at Amherst, and that was when a Bowdoin desperation 3-ptr at the buzzer went in!)"

Bowdoin's Leah Rubega was assisted by future NESCAC all first team Maria Nucas while being guarded by Amherst's Sarah Lehman when Rubega made the game winning layup at the buzzer at LeFrak on January 30, 2009. 

Gromacki was out coached that game by A. Shibles, who started first year and future Honorable Mention All American, Jill Henrikson, for the first time. Henrikson scored a game high 16 points.  A case could be made that the etiology of Gromacki's lone loss at home was anemic scouting. Even if you disagree, his lone loss was not due to a game winning Bowdoin desperation 3 point buzzer beater.
