BUCS Wednesday round-up
Where history begins
Chris KerrLoughborough as usual, has had a successful week of BUCS action.
Netball in action against Manchester. Lufbra came out on top 50-46 in the end
Arguably the biggest fixture of the day was a repeat of the BUCS Championship final of last year as the Loughborough Student Riders took on Worcester University’s 1s.
Worcester have won the BUCS Championship four years in a row now and Loughborough were looking for revenge for the 96-90 defeat suffered in the final last year.
This year’s game was incredibly tight and tense as Worcester came back in the latter stages of the fourth quarter to tie the game up at 67-67 and take it to overtime. In overtime Worcester secured the win 76-83 to break Luff hearts once again. Here is how it went:
Worcester foul and Maynard heads to the line, splits the pair and it’s 67-64. Worcester ball, 20.3 remaining #WhereHistoryBegins
