WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[hasanova]

Hey Guilford, don't let the RMC folks convince you they've won before you even step on the court!  They're good, but they're not invincible.  That's why we actually play the games.  Otherwise, why bother?    Go Quakers!

About the Bridgewater vs. Roanoke game........

Since Katy Herr, Shannon Scales, Amy Childs, and Jessica Young came to BC for their freshmen year three years ago, they have been 7-0 against Roanoke.

Bridgewater beat Roanoke by 14 at home, and 21 in front of that impressive home crowd.

Bridgewater does bring a decent crowd, although I must admit, nobody brings a crowd to the civic center like Roanoke.

I really think that after BC played that horrid game against VWC on February 11th, they have turned it up a notch. Those four girls I mentioned earlier are 4-2 for their career in tournament time. I think it is BC time today!!!

BC 80
RC 66

RMC 71
GC   62

Today's matchup between R-MC and Guilford, should be a win for R-MC!

Guilford hasn't matched up well against RMC this year. Both games were 82-45. W & L on the other hand only lost by 10 the first time this season against the Yellow Jackets.

" Today's matchup between R-MC and Guilford, should be a win for R-MC !"
is not a quote from me.  To quote someone tab the quote button ( of course I guess you could still edit and add to it ).

Silva's number ought to be retired.  I don't think R-M has ever done that before, but they should consider it.

Strike that.  They shouldn't consider it-they should just do it.

I totally agree 100%... but (and don't get me wrong, I love my alma mater) trying to get anything done through the "red tape" at R-MC is pretty much impossible unless someone in the administration is motivated enough to do it. Maybe under the new president they'll actually consider it and MAYBE get it done.

5 minutes until tipoff!!! Listening/Watching on the internet... Let's go R-MC!!!!

Awesome season VWC - despite all the trash talk, which in my opinion shouldn't be tolerated on this board, you proved yourself on the court and played with a ton of heart!  Roanoke is a hard team to play in Roanoke - but next year should bring great things.  Congrats to Coach Dunmyer on coach of the year- totally deserved.  Like most of the people on this board who love ODAC basketball and don't feel the need to start a hate campaign against certain schools, I'm cheering on all the teams from here on out.  Great season and good luck! 

You know oldschool the marlin fans did as much trash talking as any team on the board.
Just review all the posts over the last two months. In fact it was their posts that usually got things rolling. You really need to remove the splinter from your own eye first. I love ODAC, I think your coach is great, I think your players were poor sports, and I think your fans expectations were way overblown.
I am sure VWC will be a contender next year, but I don't think they will win the conference.  Appreciate what Silva is doing for ODAC's visibility and have a good offseason.

I would like to thank Stephanie Mathews and Amanda Renalds for their great careers at EMU.  These two fine women along with several others have really turned EMU womens basketball into a contender from the doormat it used to be 5 years ago.  These ladies have tied for the most wins in a four year span and made it to the sweet 16 in the NCAA's.  They really have been special to watch.

Thanks for your contribution!

Well, I don't know the mechanics of it all.  Seems to me they should already have thought of it.  I love my alma mater, too, but if you need someone to raise hell over it, I'm your man.

Halftime Score:
R-MC, 41
Guilford, 28

Macon doing a GREAT job converting layups and rebounding. The entire team is hitting the boards and working together very well (not surprised about that! ). Silva started out a little slow but it now hitting her shots... Morgan with great defense as usual.
R-MC needs to contain Guilford from the outside, because they've been doing a great job at hitting threes. Ellis and King playing very strong and finishing their shots... but King has 3 fouls (although she got her third with 10 minutes to go in the half and has been able to avoid the 4th)

Jacketlawyer: Don't say something to us alumni ballas (me and RMCalum30 mainly) that you aren't prepared to do! I am in Richmond, and I work for a law firm as well, and I'm about to get one of our corporate attorneys here to get on the "Get Silva's jersey retired" campaign! I wonder what you even do to attempt such a feat?

ANYWAY....HOW AWESOME IS THAT YOU CAN WATCH THE GAME!!
Thank you to whoever was responsible for that! I am at work (with my door shut obviously) getting to watch my favorite ladies play the game I love!

At Halftime my prediction: RMC 85 GUILFORD 67

Silva is dominating, Orton is dominating, King has 3 fouls= BIG RMC WIN!

[RMCAlum30]

Yep... we definitely will hold ya to that Jacketlawyer  And I am pumped as well about being able to watch the ladies from 8 hours away! Good to see Coach Willi during the interview at halftime... she's a great coach and a great person.

OneSealTeam:

I just emailed the Assistant AD, with whom I was fraternity brothers with at R-M.  So I've fired a shot today already.  I'm no longer a corporate attorney, but we litigators can get the job done as well.

Let me know what else I can do.

Good game ladies. Game not as close as score. 10 players scoring. GC just too small to match up.
