Great to see RMC and EMU in NCAA's. Too bad NCAA can't spend the money to seed the teams better. I think EMC got the better seed. They play #20 Chris Newport and if they win they play #16 Ferrum. How is that better?
RMC would play #6 FDU at home if they win first game. Playing those teams with (RMC & EM) rating should be in the sweet 16 type game but the Div III doesn't have the money to pay the travel to seed better. I remember a few years ago, I think RMC played #4 team in the country the first game.
RMC has had many 20 win seasons and has won the ODAC tournament often. Good coaches, good system of playing and good support from the college. Good players help. Tale of two colleges. Bridgewater gave them a very good game in tournament 96-91. Coach Jean Willi always finds a way it seems at tournament time.
Heather Cantrell 5'9" freshmen was named rookie of year for ODAC, last year at this time RMC was looking at her to join them, she chose to go to Bridgewater. She is local girl from Broadway. She started, played very well and was name ROY, she will have great career at Bridgewater. If she had chosen RMC, I don't think she would have started until her Jr year but would have gotten quality time as a freshman but not as much as she did at Bridgewater. Mistake...no... but she may never play a NCAA tournament game in her four years. Bridgewater is now taking Xmas trips like RMC does and the mins and stats may be enough.
If I had a 6'2" hs senior center who was getting interest from Div I lower level schools and could afford it, RMC would be an excellent school to look at. There will be playing time for the next four years for another Molly A or Taylor W or Michelle Orton
