L, 69-56 @ Holy Cross

Offensive woes plagued the Leopards in this one, as they shot just 31% from the field in a tough road loss. Freshman forward Kucowski was able to notch her eighth double-double of the season, however, pulling down an astounding 17 rebounds to go along with her 14 points. Ultimately, just one other Leopard put up double-digit scoring numbers, and they allowed opposing forward Lauren Manis to drop 27 points in a well-fought affair.
