Mercy girls' basketball coach Tim Kohs said today seniors Rachel Roberts and Bianca Simmons are suspended until Jan. 20 for violating school and team rules. The backcourt duo is averaging 35.2 points per game this season. The Tigers have dropped three straight -- all without Roberts and Simmons -- with the latest being a 58-53 loss to Branford.
