There’s 2 Helen Newmans?

The Cornell’s women’s basketball game vs Brown was great. We missed the 1st quarter however, because we thought the game was in Helen Newman Hall on north campus. Turns out there is a Newman Arena in Bartels Hall. After a lot of walking, we finally made it to the right one! We were in the lead most of the game, but there was a moment in the 4th quarter where Brown made an attempt at a comeback. My favorite part of the game by far was the half-time show. A junior biddy or elementary school girls team came to scrimmage. They were adorable in their oversized jerseys and pennies. It was an intense scrimmage even though no points were scored. There were so full of energy and it reminded me of when I used to play basketball. Any time anyone got the ball, all the other players would swarm them and there was a lot of handoff passes.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game and it made me want to see other Cornell teams. This was my first Cornell basketball game. I don’t go to many Cornell athletic events other than the annual Homecoming game and the occasional hockey game, but this definitely made me want to check out more!
