WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

Macon comes to "The fish tank" on Wed. A win then and I will start accepting apologies.

A loss and then what?

Apologies for what??? Wow, you sure are full of yourself! So, if you are always right, you predicted Bridgewater over VA. Wes. by 16 the other night, right?

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.

Did I think VW would go into BC without one of thier leading scores and beat the Eagles? not really. do I think that at full strength away from that cracker jack box you guys call a gym that VWC can beat BC, YES, and before the year is over THEY WILL!

A loss and then what?

Then for another few days you guys will be happy because all of you will have something to talk about, since the only thing that seems to  make you happy in life is seeing the Marlins be unsuccesful........

What is wrong with Heather Phillips and when will she back? And what is wrong with Ninger, you know, the cracker jack box gym. I am sure that was a determing factor in the Marlins loss

You know that when BC played Virginia Wes. they also were missing a starter in 6'2 Becca Henderson who last year averaged  5.1 points. 5.7 reb. and 1.4 blocks as a freshmen and was looking much improved in the preseason before going down in the first game with an ankle injury.

I don't understand why people do not cheer for the Marlins. I mean, they are so good at all of their sports, have athletes that exemplify sportsmenship (just like two other athletes from that area...I think their last name was Vick?), and they have the classiest fans just like you are portraying. I am absolutley puzzled as to why, as you state, everyone is out to get poor old VWC?

Yeah that is a fair comparison to Heather Phillips. Ok so she is 6'2, i give her that... Last year in the two game ve VWC Henderson had a total of 6 points and 13 boards, Heather Phillips 22 points and 32 boards.

Don't worry, everyone knows R-MC will be the ODAC champs until they are knocked off their thrown at season's end.  A regular season loss or two doesn't change that.  Silva or no Silva, the Jackets have earned the title as top dog in the ODAC ... and I expect that to remain throughout the season.

Keep in mind the Jackets have a freshman and two sophomores as their top three scorers to begin the season. 6-foot-2 Molly Ariail (the freshman) leads the team with 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game - and she hasn't even started one of them (yet).

With their youth, it'll take some time for them to jell.  Kudos to Roanoke for going to Ashland and picking up the win!

I'm looking forward to seeing W&L on Tuesday.  The Generals have had a brutal schedule to begin the season, so their 3-3 record is deceiving.  Five of six games have been away from home, with a tough five-day stretch.

They played AT R-MC (lost by two), AT VWC (game was tied w/ 8 minutes left) and then they will be AT BC this Tuesday.  That's against preseason No. 3, No. 2, and No. 1, respectively.

Just thinking about my alma mater Guilford's two decisive wins over RMWC and HU this past weekend.  Guilford appears to be a middle-of-the-pack ODAC team this year, so I assume Hollins and the Wildcats will take similar lopsided losses to most other ODAC teams.  I have empathy for them and would hope they could be more competitive.  To me, these two schools clearly need to strengthen their programs some, but I was wondering if there are other, more fundamental, issues.   Perhaps this is premature and just a one-year aberration, but are they in the right league?  Sure, the ODAC is a great geographic fit, but no one enjoys playing games with this much disparity.  Are they in the right conference philosophically and athletically?   Peace

I agree, I think the defending champ (with or without Silva) is assumed to repeat on the throne until (or if) they lose.

Bridgewater won easily after a 6pt lead at the half!

Bridgewater  78         W&L 56    Final

[fairmont1113]

BC won easily with great games by Shannon Scales and Katy Herr Lovell. Scales had 7 three-pointers as she finished with a career high 25 points, and Lovell finished with another complete game, recording 19 points, 9 assists, and 5 steals. Amy Childs also had a good game with 10 points and 9 rebounds, while Jessica Timberlake and Jessica Young each chipped in 8 point.

BC's defense held Jessica Hunsinger to only 9 points.

For the third time in only four games BC has had a different player lead this team. This is what makes the Eagles so dangerous is that there are several players very capable of stepping up and leading this team.


Also, Roanoke lost tonight at EMU by 2, 56-54. I think other then Erin Hanson, Roanoke just does not have a lot of depth. Every team in the ODAC has at least one loss except for Bridgewater, it should be a good year with a lot of even teams.

Looks like BC's first big test will be Sienna Heights at the Hoops N Surf Classic in Hawaii!
They are an NAIA team that is 8-1 with several wins over D3 competion.

W & L hung around a little while - but once Bridgewater started  to press they folded like a house of cards.  That seems to be the key to playing the Generals.  Shannon Scales was also left unchecked.  Great game Eagles.
