Scouting the Hawks

Quincy University opened the 2010-11 regular season last Saturday by visiting Oakland City, Indiana to battle Oakland City University.  The Hawks won the contest 96-61 and enter Friday’s matchup with a 1-0 record.

The Hawks were led in scoring by senior forward Courtney Schuman and senior guard Stephanie Wagner who each scored 16 points in the rout over Oakland City.

Quincy has been selected to finish third in the North Division of the three-division Great Lakes Valley Conference.
