EM 70=WL 69..in ot

HARRISONBURG, VA -- While the defense should be credited for holding a talented Washington & Lee squad in check, Danielle Rittenhouse's (Lancaster, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) jumper with 1:48 left in overtime provided the difference on the scoreboard, as Eastern Mennonite knocked off the Generals in Harrisonburg Tuesday night. The women battled back from a four-point deficit late in regulation before Rittenhouse sealed the win in OT over last year's conference champions...***quote from newspaper**...I dont think it's defense if you allow 69 pts?

Great game to watch. It was so evenly matched...they had to play an extra 5 mins. I was hoping for double ot.

EMU Coach Kevin Griffin was thrilled with the game.

"That's a huge win," he said. "W&L is a veteran team, a really good team. They won the ODAC last year and for as young as we are that's just a big win."

The women got 60 of their 70 points from freshmen and sophomores, lead by Lamneck's 15. She also hauled in 12 rebounds to post a double double. Rittenhouse had 13 and three assists while Yoders had 13 and seven rebounds off the bench. ***quote from newpaper

W&L isn't the same team they were last year..yet...Becca Bolton is still trying to play her way back into shape. Never that quick..by just hard work , scrapper...she isn't playing her normal 'bulldog' fashion. It shows on few offensive rebounds and shots she took near end were short and that really hurt them at end, when she normally takes over...and last night she couldn't finish.

Every one should see at least one EMU home game...one of the players father's antics is worth the price of admission. As they won, he splinted across the court and jumped on Coach Kevin Griffin as tho they had won the National Championship of the Country!!
Good thing his daughter can play.

I only saw 3 (students?) sitting behind W& L bench as supporters, that's too bad..the girls lost but they really played hard and it was a great game to watch!

W & L has been very inconsistent this year. I was curious how they would do against Bridgewater after the loss to Roanoke. As wmjofva said though, Bridgewater does not seem to have the big players to stop W & L. Impressive 20 point win by the Generals. I missed the EMU game - not sure what happened there! If W & L wants to win the ODAC, they will have to play some good defense.

I agree with you whitecaylxx, the Generals must step it up on the defensive end and rebounding must improve. Got to be able to win when the shooting is not good.

It was an impressive win, but more attributable to shooting than size- over 50% overall, 48% from 3. I recall Herman dominating the post vs. BC last year, not so much last week (still hurt?). Bolton not all the way back in shape yet. BC will struggle with size, but that's not why they lost this one.

The Jackets get another key road win in Roanoke 73-71 against a very talented Maroons team... way to GO, JACKETS!!!

Great job by RMC. What an outstanding job coaching this team. They have really surprised me. Looks like a very competitive upper half of the league,

Congrats to Meg Ingram who scored her 1,000 point this afternoon at Lexington! Well done Meg, great job and you still have another year and a half to go.

Yes; awesome, Meg!

The Gennie's Class of 2012 has been very, very good to us, the basketball fans...

Couple of good games this weekend, EMU@W&L; BC@RMC. The Generals seem to be coming into form. Bolton has produced lately like we were accustomed to last year. This is a crucial game if the Generals want to get a good seeding in the tournament. A BC win would help out the Generals also. Any predictions on these 2 games?

BH2OFan · January 19, 2011, 03:56:33 PM

Quick rematch for EMU-W&L; just last week watched the end of regulation and OT online. I'll go with W&L at home. I also like BC (go figure) for a big road win, just a hunch.

wmjofva · January 20, 2011, 11:17:07 AM

The W&L /EMU game won't go to overtime this time.

That last game at EMU seems to have stirred Bolton.

No predictions from us... but we know what a big game this one in Ashland is tomorrow. We're looking forward to seeing it!

GO JACKETS!!!

The Jackets win big at home today against BC!

Way to go, Jackets!

Is Madison Dulaney OK? Have not seen her in the RMC box score after Christmas.
