sley Hudson’s first collegiate basketball season came to an end Thursday evening in the opening round of the women’s National Invitational Tournament.
She and the Central Michigan University basketball squad suffered a 63-55 defeat at the hands of Indiana Purdue University. The loss dropped the team’s final season record to 22-11. The Chippewas won the West Division of the Mid-American Conference with a record of 14-4 and lost to Buffalo in the MAC tournament finals. A victory would have punched their ticket to the NCAA tournament.
