The Blues faced Brighton this past Wednesday, playing for a spot in the quarter finals of the BUCSTrophy. Cambridge was finally able to break the four game loosing streak and regain theirconfidence in a very important game. The team's resilience finally paid off and they were able tofinish 5 points ahead, 66-61. BLUES VS NOTTINGHAM (61-76) By Cristina Gómez
The Blues were excited for their first home game after the holidays, ready to face Nottingham University, currently second in the Midlands 1A BUCS League. Knowing it was going to be a tough game, the Blues became more aggressive on defence which resulted in entering foul trouble early on in every quarter. This led to Nottingham obtaining 30 free-throws in the game, out of which they managed to convert 23. Coupled with the Blues' poor accuracy from that same line (10 out of 19scored free-throws) it meant that the hosts missed opportunities to close the gap in the score board and eventually lost 61-76.

The first game of 2017 saw the Blues loose against Worcester by only 4 points, after a hard fought match in which both teams struggled to score. In the end, the hosts took the victory as Cambridge failed to defend three point shots and struggled against very aggressive defensive pressure in the final minutes of the encounter. BLUES VS CHICHESTER (72-33)
NOTTINGHAM VS BLUES
BLUES VS NOTTINGHAM TRENT (47-45) By Cristina Gómez
The Cambridge Blues take another win in what could potentially be a season-defining game. Thebasketball women faced league leaders Nottingham Trent on Wednesday and fought to the end in anail biting game that finally saw them come out on top 47-45. Knowing that Nottingham Trent had won both their games against the Blues' long term rivals Worcester and Nottingham, the Cambridge women had a shaky start to the match. An unprecedented number of turnovers in offence meant that they were unable to reach the basket, while the guests took advantage of these mistakes and punished the Blues. However, strong defenceallowed Cambridge to maintain the score low and saved them from what could have been a trulydisastrous first quarter. Thus, the first 10 minutes ended with a historic low score of 7-14 for Nottingham Trent.
