St. Lawrence University women's basketball hosts Canton Hoopster for skills clinic

CANTON -- The St. Lawrence University women’s basketball team hosted the Canton Hoopsters girl’s traveling team for a skills clinic on Monday afternoon in Canton.

The Saints worked alongside the fifth- and sixth-grade girls on a number of drills, including shooting, ball handling, passing, layups and defense.

After working on the fundamentals, the Saints and the Hoopsters competed in a series of contests to finish out the afternoon.

“We established a relationship last year with the Hoopsters, and we wanted to continue that this year,” said St. Lawrence Head Coach Dan Roiger. “The Hoopsters are a very enthusiastic group and support our program, and our players do a great job of working with them and developing personal relationships with all of the girls.”

The Scarlet and Brown, who are 5-0 in the Liberty League, will look to extend their six-game win-streak this weekend when they host conference opponents Rensselaer and Union. The team will take on the Engineers on Friday at 6 p.m. before facing the Dutchwomen on Saturday at 2 p.m.
