The final game of the Hunter Hawks women\u2019s basketball regular season on Feb. 11 was also senior night for five players who are graduating, and they were honored with flowers and a framed jersey prior to the game. The five seniors are Ashley Arias, Jade Aponte, Christine Patterson, Selina Lim and Marlena Budna.<\/p>\n

While she is excited to graduate, Patterson, who was one of the team\u2019s top scorers of the game with 14 points, says she will \u201cdefinitely miss her team and kicking butt on the court.\u201d But the season is not over yet.The first place Hawks won the CUNY championship and are headed to the NCAA tournament for their first game against Bowdoin on March 7.<\/p>\n

A player whose presence will also be missed on the team next season is Selina Lim. Over the course of three seasons, Lim has a total of 415 points and currently has well over 100 points in her final season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn games I am a good communicator, so I get super loud and I help people figure out what\u2019s going on whether they\u2019re on the court or off the court. I just stay positive and try to get everybody to play well and play together,\u201d Lim explains.<\/p>\n

However, while the loss of these five seniors on the team will be tough, Nicole Ballin, a sophomore on the Hawks, has confidence in the team going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven with the loss of these girls we can still do good next year and I hope to have more of a leadership and starting role for the team,\u201d Ballin said. \u201cI love playing on the Hunter court, there\u2019s no other court that\u2019s the same. There\u2019s always a whole bunch of Hunter fans that show up to home games and are here to support.\u201d<\/p>\n
