Archdeacon: Angel divine as usual as Raiders advance in league tournament

Angel Baker

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

“What’s in a name?”

William Shakespeare posed the question so famously in “Romeo and Juliet” almost 425 years ago.

Tuesday afternoon at the Nutter Center, Wright State’s Angel Baker provided a definitive answer.

“What’s in a name?”

So with a name like Angel, she was asked if she’s supposed to something heavenly, cherubic or divine.

“Well, I don’t try to be the nicest thing on the court,” she said with a laugh.

No one knows that better today than Northern Kentucky, who the Wright State women pushed aside 74-56 in their Horizon League quarterfinal game.

A first-team All Horizon League selection for the second year in a row, Baker scored a game-high 23 points. It was the eighth game in the past 10 that the junior guard has scored over 20 points.
