Anchor Drop, November 21, 2022: Women finally lose

Also, bowling finished second. Boo.

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Not a great day for Vanderbilt sports on Sunday. The women’s basketball team took its first loss of the season in a 67-59 decision to St. Joseph’s. Still, the Commodores are 5-1 on the season heading into the Cancun Challenge, where they’ll see NC State and Northern Iowa.

Bowling came in second at the Hawk Classic, losing 4-3 to North Carolina A&T in the final. Can’t win them all, I guess.

Anyway, no Vanderbilt sports until Wednesday, but with college basketball going into Feast Week and the World Cup having a full day, there’s plenty of weekday sports action today if you feel like not doing work.
