Boeheim leads Nighthawks to victory

February 28, 2006 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Maryland NightHawks News Release


Rockville, MD - Barbara Boeheim started her coaching career with a bang. As a ceremonial coach, she led the Maryland Nighthawks (21-9) to a dominating 135-111 win over the visiting Baltimore Pearls.

With the playoffs drawing closer, the Nighthawks asserted their dominance and never trailed. Forward Lawrence Moten, inspired by having a Boeheim on the bench, showed some of his old Syracuse swagger. The Big East Conference?s all-time leading scorer guided the Nighthawks offense with 24 points. Six other Nighthawks scored in double figures, while Lee Cook and Omar Weaver owned the glass, with 13 rebounds apiece.

Barbara, the sister of Syracuse University men?s basketball coach Jim, now has the best win-loss record in her family.

The Maryland Nighthawks wrap-up the ABA regular season at home on the Montgomery College ? Rockville Campus next weekend, with games set for Saturday (7PM) and Sunday (6PM).
