Marlins:  I don't believe people were calling Bridgewater players "unclassy" or "poor sports" last year.  The Eagles seem to win and lose with a fair amount of grace.

FYI:

Regarding EMU's lose, their best player, Riley, wasn't near 100%.  She had a viral infection and only played 22 minutes and scored just 8 pts.  Coach Griffin stated that she probably shouldn't have played period, but she is a trooper.  I would have to believe that this would have been a different game with Riley being healthy.

EMU did not lose just because Riley was under the weather.  The Generals had players that did not score as much as usual and still won.  Also, Bridgewater did not lose just because Tori Ruckman was injured several games ago.  It's tournament time.  Play ball.

Whatever - and you wonder why more people don't talk on this board.

My point was not that Katy is the only one to carry their team - it was that she carries her team.  I also believe other players carry their team at times - but not better than she does hers.

KHL had a nice game but she can not carry a team the way other players in the ODAC can.

You have every right to be excited about your team's 15-point win over the Eagles, but to take a shot at Katy? 

I think there's a big line between VWCbeachbum's post and "taking a shot" at Herr Lovell.
I totally disagree.  I do believe it was a veiled shot, and an incorrect shot.  No one who has seen Katy Herr Lovell play on a regular basis can believe that she does not "carry a team the way other players in the ODAC can."  Katy is an unselfish, team player who comes up big when she needs to.  I'm not saying she can do it all by herself, but she carries a team the way it should be carried.  Who "carries" VWC's team?  Who carries the other teams?  Who carries a team better than Katy?  I doubt they can compete with the probable ODAC player of the year.

General Fan W.W. - No offense, but the Generals were losing before the injuries and one of the players you mentioned doesn't get alot of minutes.  I am sorry, though - no one likes to see a player go down.

EMU soundly defeated Washington and Lee tonight.  EMU has really developed their talent over the past two years.  They play tough, defensive-minded, team oriented ball.  Very fun to watch.   W & L seems to have very good players - I'm not sure what the problem is.  I guess what goes around, comes around.  Next up for EMU is a couple of very tough games - RMC and VWC - stern opponents indeed.  It's going to be very interesting to see which of the 4 teams wins the ODAC and ODAC tournament.  Side note - Roanoke beats Guilford.

Emory & Henry will play Washington & Lee without 3 of their major players - in particular - Katherine Brandt, the team's leading scorer.  Many people have question the wisdom of starting the year with over 20 players - it seems the unrest continues at E & H.  Without these players on the team anymore, it should be smooth sailing for W & L.  The brackets for the ODAC tournament continue to shuffle.

Re:  EMU
When I saw them play, they looked like they worked very well as a team - I know - a dirty concept to some people on this board!  If you had to pick a superstar, I guess it would be the Riley girl.  I was surprised by how well EMU is now doing.  When they got rattled, though, it seemed like they just collapsed.

Valleybballfan and GAVA - I really don't think a coach of RMC's caliber is going to play Morgan an average of 29 minutes a night just because she's a senior.  From her stats (except for the almighty scoring stat) she seems like a very good player - one who would be missed.  Sounds like you all have some personal issues with Morgan. 
#11
Dear GAVA - do you mean that because RMC's Morgan only scored 1 point in 37 minutes that she must not be very valuable to her team?  Obviously, she did her job and RMC reaped the benefits.

I think after losses to teams like W & L and Roanoke (with their records), everyone can agree that Bridgewater shouldn't have been ranked in the top 25.  I think Bridgewater got in based on last year's record and on only losing one player from that team.  At the beginning of the year some of the Bridgewater posters said that all Marsha Kinder did was score, and that perhaps the Eagles were now even better.  Well apparently, she is sorely missed. She did score, but she also attracted the defense away from the other players so they could shine as well.

Bridgewater should easily defeat Emory & Henry - E & H will pay the price for the Roanoke fiasco.
EMU should beat Guilford - they are really a team effort - but if they falter, they will just collapse.
RMC over RMWC
Lynchburg will probably beat W & L - but it will be the battle of the upper cellar.
Sounds negative, but just a commentary.

Fairmont1113:  Getting some "D1 looks" does not mean you could have gone D1.  As amazing a player as Katie Herr is - she could not go D1 because of her height.  That does not diminish her talent, but many different factors go into the D1 formula.  Besides, some players like to be big fish in little ponds - i.e. Megan Silva.

RMC is finding out what life without Silva is like.  After a near miss to a sloppy W & L team (32 turnovers), they suffered a resounding loss to Roanoke.  It seems to be almost anybody's game this year.
