Match Report for Women's Blues v Cambridge on 12 February 2005

Away win 31-48

The Oxford Women's Blues team set out to Cambridge with only one acceptable outcome. On the coach over, the ladies psyched themselves up by watching a Michael Jordan DVD, and it seemed to have worked. Captain Becky Inkster hit four consecutive three pointers in the opening 5 minutes, and the game was immediately out of Cambridge's grasp. Coached by Men's Blues player Kenneth Townshend and Tony the Dark Blues held out at the half, with a commanding lead of 40-15. The defensive combination of Aoife Fitzgerald and Harriet Struthers was too much for Cambridge's weak ball handlers, and despite not having the greatest second half, the Blues maintained their lead and beat the Tabs for the third year running.
