Women’s basketball season has wrapped up, and the Titans finished much better than most expected.
The Titans, led by first-year head coach Bernard Scott, had just eight players for a majority of the season.
The team finished with a 15-15 record, and a fourth place finish in the Horizon League.
Rosanna Reynolds was voted to the Horizon League first team. She averaged 15.5 points per game and led Detroit with 142 assists, good for third in the league.
Brianne Cohen was voted Sixth Player of the Year. Cohen averaged 15.3 points per game and scored in double figures 21 times off the bench.
As a team, Detroit set a school record for three-pointers in a season (234) and in free throw percentage (73.8). This was also the best conference road record in school history (7-2).
Men’s lacrosse
The men are now 1-5 on the season.
Since we last published the red, white and blue have lost three games. They fell to top-ranked Notre Dame 14-5 before dropping contests to Bellarmine and number 19 Marquette.
During this span, sophomore attackman Mark Anstead was voted MAAC Offensive Player of the Week.
In the contests vs. Bellarmine and Marquette, Ansted had five goals and four assists.
The Titans came away with a win Saturday, March 19, in New York City over Manhattan.
The 9-3 victory gets them off to a 1-0 start in conference play.
So far on the season, the Titans are lead by Anstead with 16 points, Andy Hebden with 13 points, Alec Gilhooly with 13 points and Sean Birney with 12 points.
Detroit will start a three-game homestand against Air Force Saturday at Titan Field before hosting MAAC foe Siena on April 2 at 1 p.m. and Quinnipiac on April 10 at 10.30 a.m.

In that stretch, the Titans have outscored their opponents 55-14.
