"Today was a good bounce back game for us," said Skidmore head coach
Darren Bennett. "We have to take much better care of the basketball to win games over the coming weeks, but overall our effort continues to be consistent.
"With Angela out, Migle stepped right in and had a very strong game with 22 and 10. She had a lot of energy on both ends and got to the free throw line consistently. Lindsey [Davis] looked back on track and had a strong free throw line game today 8-8, which is a change from her game. She continues to grow and that's a lot of fun to watch.
"In the end today we got a chance to get everybody some solid playing time and had a chance to see what they could bring to the table."

The Thoroughbreds go back on the road next weekend, taking on William Smith at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6 before facing RIT at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7.
