I think after last season, a change was due.  The turnover in assistants and the lack of recruiting really began to strain the program.  Though academic standards at Washington and Lee are very high, there really is no excuse for not getting a least a few new players.  Best wishes to Coach King and the new W & L coach.

You yourself said it would probably be a close game - it was not.  You also agreed earlier in the year that the Generals had been very inconsistent this year.  With a small number of players, W & L could have run out of gas.  Instead they came up big.  As for 3 years of posts , I comment on many of the teams.  Just because I like a team, doesn't mean they get a free pass. 

I do not have a General bias.  The two teams split, and EMU is deeper than W & L.  Just because I picked EMU doesn't mean I don't like W & L!  Childish!  With Bridgewater out, (I agree they lack size) I think it is possible for W & L to take the crown again!

My predictions:

RMC over LC
EMU over W & L
BC over GC
RC over VWC

Congratulations To Jean Willi for her Coach of the Year, and also congratulations to all the players who received honors.

The Washington and Lee Generals drop two BIG ones.  They had their chances against Bridgewater, but as I said before - don't count Jean Willi and Jordan Burkholder out!

"Disappointing" seems to be an appropriate phrase for W & L's season, thus far.  After last year's results, there was no reason not to be close to a "repeat".  One person's slow healing injury should not be "making it, or breaking it" for the Generals.  As I have said before, it is odd that the Generals did not reload this season.  Nevertheless, there is still time to right the ship.  As for Burkholder and Jean Willi - I sure wouldn't count them out!

W & L has been very inconsistent this year.  I was curious how they would do against Bridgewater after the loss to Roanoke.  As wmjofva said though, Bridgewater does not seem to have the big players to stop W & L.  Impressive 20 point win by the Generals.  I missed the EMU game - not sure what happened there!  If W & L wants to win the ODAC, they will have to play some good defense.

I can't believe no one has commented on Hollins' 4 wins so far!  They must be thrilled.

Great wins by RMC and W & L over Mary Washington.  The ODAC should get some notice.  Someone commented on W & L's short roster.  I would have thought after last year they would have been able to reload more.  It should be a competitive year in the ODAC.

Where is Nicci Moats?  Does this happen everywhere she goes??  CNU is on a 21 - 0 run.  Where is the defense??  I give up!

Yes, for all the game plans to contain Schweers, it really was a team effort by CNU that was Washington and Lee's undoing.  CNU seems to have progressed so much since the beginning of the year.  I was surprised that CNU had such a rebound advantage.  It was a great run for the ODAC tournament winners, though.  Hopefully Roanoke will have the services of Nicci Moats back today.  Does anyone know her status or extent of her injury?  I thought it was impressive that Roanoke was able to advance without her.

I hope the ODAC represents well, and I hate the thought of one ODAC team eliminating the other's dream.  Sappy, I know.

I agree, it seems the ODAC winner got the tougher drawer.  We will see how it goes...

I would agree, but it doesn't always happen!

Well the match-up was the same when they beat W & L twice.  So I don't agree that Virginia Wesleyan just wasn't as qualified as Washington and Lee.  I do agree that a team is often a reflection of it's coach.  Sometimes, however, the players just take it upon themselves to play ball - in spite of the coach.  We will see how Roanoke and Washington and Lee fare in the NCAA tournament.  I wish them the best!
