Does anyone know the extent of the injury to EMU's Danielle Scott? She posts up really well in my opinion.

It seems logical they would have joined the USA South Conference due to proximity of most of the other schools. However, the conference has admitted 3 women colleges over the last several years and probably were not interested in adding a 4th.

I am from North Carolina, and I was curious about what the other fans thought about the addition of Salem to the conference. I saw where they got hammered by Maryville 105-47. Is this going to be a good addition for the conference in the long run? Also, I read that one of their requirements to join the conference was they had to field a softball team beginning in 2011. However, it appears they have yet to hire a coach. Did they get that requirement deferred? I do know that their program was terminated right in the middle of the 2007 season, so it is going to be tough to get it started again. With Salem being the only school from North Carolina, travel expenses have to be out the roof for them.

Hasanova-You questioned why Randolph only dressed out 7 in the Guilford game. They have 9 on the roster, but the freshman point guard who was looking great in pre-season is out with an ACL tear. The point guard from last year had an ACL tear in each leg and decided not to play in order to avoid further injury. The leading rebounder in the conference from last year is no longer in school, and their starting center from last season now plays for Va. Wesleyan. On top of that, one of the seniors did not make the trip due to the flu, and one of their top 3-point shooters had a really jammed thumb that game. It has been a case of Murphy's Law for about the last 9 months. They really stood to have a very solid team this season before all of this stuff started happening.

Ralph Turner-I am pretty sure that Salem played Spelman a couple of years ago in softball and got beat pretty badly. Unless things change drastically, you need to change your projected standings and add another conference victory for Spelman and Agnes Scott and take away the two you gave Salem. You need to understand that Salem never even came close to winning.

Ralph Turner-The way you explained it makes perfect sense for allowing Salem to join the GSAC. It is just going to take a complete turnaround for Salem to ever become competetive in softball. The way I understand it is that most of the girls never even played high school ball, much less travel ball. They were strictly out there for fun. Schools would try their best to hold the score down but would still run rule them in 3 innings in most cases. That does not do either team much good in that situation.

Being from North Carolina, I am really surprised to see Salem join this conference especially considering the economy and the amount of travel that will be involved. I had heard that they tried to get in the USA South Conference but were turned down because the conference did not want to add another "girls only" school. The last three additions have been Peace, Meredith, and Mary Baldwin which are all single sex schools. I saw where Salem is going to have to bring back softball as a condition of membership. After playing at the club level for several years, they made it a varsity sport for two years and then quit the second season right in the middle of the year. When they did play, they usually got run ruled after just 3 ininings. They will have a really tough time recruiting when they bring the sport back because I do not believe they ever won a game at the varsity level. Maybe they can find the right person this time that knows a little about softball. I guess only time will tell.
