FALCONS DROP TWO
Nov 14, 2012
Friday night saw the Falcons host the Camosun College Chargers. The Falcons were looking for a better result after losing to the Chargers during their exibition schedule. The Falcons got off to a quick start with the help of Hailey Hebron hitting her first couple of field goals, puttting the home team ahead 7 to 2 in the opening minutes. The momentum shifted quickly though as the Chargers came back to tie the game and go ahead, by the end of the quarter it was 16 to 11 for the Chargers. In the second quarter both teams traded baskets and at the half the Falcons were down 30 to 24. The Falcons found themselves behind in the last seconds of the fourth quarter and depite a great three from Denise Busayong to pull within one, the Falcons couldn't get a quality look on their last attempt. Langara lost 52-53 to the Chargers. Hailey Hebron had 3 assists to go with her 3 steals, and Denise Busayong lead the way with 17 points for the Falcons. On the glass Charlotte Lau scooped up 8 boards while Rhea Silvestri had 5.
Saturday the Falcons hosted the Vancouver Island Marineers. The Falcons got behind from the start and weren't able to claw their way back losing 47 to 72. Denise Busayong once again led the Falcons in scoring with 18 points. Jesseca Eng and Rhea Silvestri led the way on the glass with 7 boards each. Next up for the Falcons will be their first away games of the season, Friday Nov 16th 6:00pm at KPU, and Saturday Nov 17th 6:00pm at CBC.
2012-13 SEASON PREVIEW
Oct 19, 2012
returning point guard Jessica Eng, one of the top point
guards in the PACWEST league, who has been elected as captain this
year. Jess transferred to Langara from Concordia last year and has
already proven to be an excellent team leader. She is joined by
third-year Rhea Silvestri, a strong rebounder who was voted to the
PACWEST All-Rookie team in her first season and who is expected to
contribute points for the Falcons. Also in her third season, Hailley
Hebron is a tough competitor who is able to play point or off guard.
She is a speedy, aggressive player and an excellent teammate. The
team is thrilled to welcome back fourth-year Jade Arignon, who is
returning after a year off. An enthusiastic player and a strong
defender, Jade will also serve as a team captain. Also returning this
year are: second-year Denise Busayong, who had an excellent rookie
season and was voted to the PACWEST All-Rookie team; Erin Foreman,
another hard-working second-year who puts a lot of time into her game;
and second-year Samantha Lee, who brings a valuable ability to score
off of the bench. Joining the Falcons for the first time are: Tessa
O'Conner, a second year student who has transferred from Douglas
College, bringing a wealth of experience and game sense to the Falcons;
fourth-year Charlotte Lau, a strong scoring defender who recently
transferred from Quest University; and Toni Li, a skillful rookie point
guard who has just graduated from Kitsilano High School. Rounding out
the squad are rookies Jo Jo Crossley and Jennifer Carpio, who are
joining the Falcons from the 2012 AA championship team at Britannia
Secondary School. Jo Jo is a high energy player with a ton of potential
who will prove to be a valuable asset this season, and Jennifer is a
tough nosed defender that will be exceptionally useful once she returns
from a current injury. Last but not least is Falcons player Emily
Rowlandson, a physically formidable athlete with a lot of potential,
who will be expected to contribute on the boards
