Of their 7 wins, though, only 1 is impressive - the win against Bridgewater on the road.  The combined record of the other 6 teams they beat is a paltry 14-33 so it's hard to say just how good the team is this early in the season.  Let's wait to see how they do against the tougher teams in the ODAC in January.

If that is their only impressive win, then they have had an unimpressive schedule thus far. Bridgewater is a good team, but is without a doubt in a rebuilding year with 7 freshmen and 5 sophomores. Coach Willi and Coach Justice will have these girls ready to play night in and night out, but they just picked up their first ODAC wins this weekend....and that was just against Randolph and Hollins! They were picked to finish 6th in the ODAC, VWC 2nd, and the Marlins only defeated the Eagles by 9. Also, odacfan99, that was a home win for VWC, not a road win. It would have been more impressive if VWC would have won at BC after that long road trip from the beach. It will be interesting to see how VWC fares against tougher competition and also how BC rebounds from a slow start.

Bridgewater loses by a touchdown 21-14

wow! that is a high scoring game! anyone who saw it care to share details. I saw that BC had 6 errors! Sounds like a sloppy game with a lot of hitting. I figured the Eagles had gotten hot at the right time and were poised to make a run through regionals. I hope they can hang in there against #1 seeded Emory.

any updates would be greatly appreciated!

I was down at Roanoke today to watch the ODAC-USA South all-star game. The South got the best of the ODAC at the end, the story is up on the ODAC website.

We had too many guards and they had too many posts. They had us outrebounded at half 45-19 including 25 offensive rebounds!

Caroline Wesley and Nichole Thurston were supposed to play, but for some reason could not, and so Jessica Hunsinger and Salem Shaffer had to bear the load of playing some very big posts off the South Squad.

Shaffer had a heck of a game with 30 points including 8-of-12 from behind the arc and she also had 9 rebounds.

Katy Herr Lovell had a very solid game with 9 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals, and 4 assists. She truly does it all and to me was very deserving of all-region honors, but once again was left out of that category.

Congratulations to all ODAC seniors!

I do not care what the SIDs say....Katy Herr Lovell is still my POY....and we both know what those two girls want more then that award, they want to keep playing....we'll see what happens tomorrow?

Katy Herr Lovell from BC makes 1st team
Shannon Scales from BC makes 2nd team
Amy Childs from BC makes honorable mention


Congrats to those players!

I am not so sure you can really say that Roanoke gets hot tournament time. Over the years they have had a lot of success in the ODAC, but if you look at the current group of seniors this is their record in the ODAC tournament...1-3

In 2003-2004 they lost in the quarterfinals to Bridgewater 58-50

In 2004-2005 they lost in the quarterfinals to Bridgewater 73-72

In 2005-2006 they lost in the semifinals to Bridgewater 69-54

So, Roanoke getting hot tourney time? I am not sure that is really a valid statement. I guess if they are getting hot at tourney time, then BC has been the ones to cool them off every year.

Roanoke seniors ODAC tourney record- 1-3
Bridgewater seniors ODAC tourney record- 5-3

Roanoke has had a good year, but I will go with BC to avoid the season sweep by knocking off the Maroons on Friday.

fairmont.....VWC who yet still finishes ahead of both EMU and Bridgewater in the final standings....VWC who yet still split the regular-season games with R-MC and BC...VWC who yet had the No. 2 seed wrapped up on Friday after EMU's loss to yet another ODAC team...VWC who yet probably went into the game somewhat flat because of EMU's Friday loss...so, some pretty good yets there.




what is this all about? I said VWC lost to another top team....that was stating a fact. I could also say BC had a dissapointing season not finishing closer to the top, or I could say that Roanoke was probably the most inconsistent team this year with some huge wins and some very puzzling losses, both statements merely stating facts. I didn't mean to hit a sensitive spot there, jmill, so I do apologize. Your marlins had a terrific season, that is obvious. However, if they would have fared better against the top teams, they would have found themselves undoubtebly as the top team.

My tournament picks... everyone else feel free to chime in with yours as well  :)

#1 R-MC vs. #8 Lynchburg -- R-MC
#4 Bridgewater vs. #5 Roanoke -- Roanoke

#2 VWC vs. #7 Guilford -- VWC
#3 EMU vs. #6 W&L -- EMU

#1 R-MC vs. #5 Roanoke -- R-MC
#2 VWC vs. #3 EMU -- VWC

#1 R-MC vs. #2 VWC -- R-MC wins the Tourney  ;D

Roanoke rides their hot streak with an "upset" over Bridgewater... it will be a close game and BC will put up a good fight, but I think Roanoke will get the W in the end.
The rest of the 1st round... no surprises.

VWC will get the W over EMU... simply because EMU has beat them twice this year in close games, and that will give VWC enough fire to get the W once and for all.

R-MC over VWC in the finals  :)

These predictions seem to make sense when one reads them as the only upset is a small one with the #5 seed over the #4 seed, and it makes even more sense seeing as how that #5 seed swept the #4 seed in the regular season. So, there are really no surprises in this tournament prediction, everything goes according to seeding, everything goes smoothly, life is good for Randolph Macon nation.

However, I just can't imagine the tournament being this predictable. As crazy as the season turned out to be with a lot of different teams making noise, I would be very surprised to see the tournament unravel as ordinary as this prediction makes it out. This is tournament time! Time for upsets! Time for surprises!

I am not going to make any predictions other then just this one......I predict it won't be as predictable as this prediction ;D

EMU wins a nail biter over VWC...who loses yet another game to a top conference opponent. EMU now locks up the #3 seed which will give BC the #4 seed.

To me, I think EMU finishing 4 spots higher then they were predicted and sweeping VWC gives their coach plenty of reason for COY.

I know Coach LaHaye got her 400th win, but COY is because of accomplishments done during the season, not the career. RMC, despite what people say, was expected to do well, they even received a #1 vote in the preseason poll and they were preseason nationally ranked, so you can't say that they were not expected to be good this season. People knew they were going to be good. Nobody thought EMU would do this good. This is only their coach's second year and look at what he has done.

Tonight Bridgewater will play their final home game of the season.

Before the game they will honor their four seniors who will play in Ninger for the last time of their careers.

Here's what they have accomplished over their four years......

Record

overall: 88-27
conference: 63-16
home: 38-7
odac tourn. 5-3
ncaa 2-1

one regular season first place finish, two tournament championship appearances, one ncaa appearance including an appearance in the Sweet 16.

Both Katy Herr Lovell and Shannon Scales are 1,000 point scorers and rank in the top ten all time at BC in scoring.

Katy Herr Lovell is the only player in Bridgewater history to rank in the top 10 in points, rebounds, assists, and steals.

She is the all-time steal leader at Bridgewater and will make her 116th consecutive start as an Eagle, another BC record.

Shannon Scales is the all-time leader at BC for most three-point field goals made.

Combined, these four seniors have accounted for 3,747 points over the past four seasons.

So, a great big thanks to Katy Herr Lovell, Shannon Scales, Amy Childs, and Jessica Young for all they've accomplished over their four years at Bridgewater!

Just so you know most every player that leads a league in scoring is going to take the most shots. Check the stats SIDs: Silva? Williams? Tara Carlton? Whoever was POY before that? You know why they take the most shots? Because they are the best player.  ;)



That is bizarre reasoning. Most shots taken = best player? Not too sure about that. I love when you have two Marlin fans saying Katy Herr Lovell is POY. That just sells it for me.

Arial I think is everyone's favorite for FOY.

It seems like people don't know COY? LaHaye of Griffin? I am not sure myself?

and then will definitely see the Maroons again in the tournament for the first round game.


Are you sure? If BC and EMU end up tied doesn't BC get the 3 seed? I admit I may be wrong here so if you can enlighten me that would be great.

You're right.....if EMU loses their next two games....which are two tough games....VWC and Roanoke....then EMU and BC would be tied and BC would win the tie breaker and be seeded 3rd. Thanks for catching my mistake!

FINAL....

RC- 74
BC- 65

Erin Hanson lights the Eagles up with 30 points to send BC to their third straight loss.

BC will play Hollins on Friday for senior night...and then will definitely see the Maroons again in the tournament for the first round game. BC still has the potential to make a run in this tournament if they get hot.......
