Good morning Tiger Nation and welcome to the Morning Roar.
To all the Tiger fans that came out on Saturday to support @Towson_FB, thank you and know that
season tickets are still available! You can still purchase a four
game pack of tickets for as low as $25 per ticket! Get them today and come
out and #PackTheU on Saturdays.
Let's Unleash the
Roar
If you have been following last week's Roars, which I know
you have, you know that @Towson_FB wasn't the only Towson team in action on
Saturday.
@Towson_VB continued
their winning ways by picking
up yet another tournament win. Towson swept the Hilton University 49er Invitational
by beating Kennesaw State and Charlotte. Senior Aubrey Kirven was named as the tournament MVP after she averaged 14 assists per set during the tournament.
@Towson_TFXC
finished second
at the Delaware Invitational on Saturday. Sophomore Elizabeth Tauber led
the Tigers by finishing ninth overall. On Friday the Tigers will host the
Towson Invitational, which will start at 4:30 pm.
@Towson_FH played two games over
the weekend, but are still searching for their first win of the season. Towson
fell on Saturday on the road to Bucknell 6-0. Then the Field Hockey team played its first home game of the 2012 season and also dropped another game,
this time to Providence 6-2. The Tigers' next three games are inside Johnny
Unitas Stadium.. You can see highlights
here. After the game, Towson Sports Network caught
up with Head Coach, Michelle Webber.
Countdown to Homecoming
There were over 8,000 fans
packing Johnny Unitas Stadium on Saturday to see @Towson_FB beat William and Mary
20-17 to earn its first
win of the season.
In the
win Terrance West tied a career high 27 carries and racked up 153 yards.
Even though West didn't score a touchdown, which is rare for the sophomore back
the Tigers offense was still able to put up points. Senior quarterback Grant
Enders passed for 234 yards including five passes to Erron Banks for 59 yards
and a score.
The defense looked vulnerable at times
but in the end it did enough to bring home a win for the Tigers.
In the latest installment of the Sunday
Morning Quarterback Mat Schlissel - my Under Armour at the Half Guest on the
Towson Sports Network Saturday-- broke down the Towson win and takes a look
around the rest of the CAA.
Next Saturday marks Homecoming
for the Tigers. It will be a week full of school sprit capped off by, what I
hope to be a sellout, football game against St. Francis University. If the U is
rocking, the Tigers should have no problem improving to 2-1 on the season
heading into the game against LSU. But we can't look to far into the future,
the Tigers need to take care of business this Saturday against St. Francis.
Thanks for reading another
edition of the Morning Roar, be sure to check back same time tomorrow for more.
