WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[jmill07]

Very nice win for Virginia Wesleyan today at Emory & Henry!  E&H rallied in the fourth to put the pressure on the Marlins, but VWC did not fold and posted a big conference win! VWC hit 10 triples, including five from senior Kelly Jones...rookie Jayla Harris led VWC with 21 points....Marlins hit big free throws in the final seconds

R-MC's Katie Anderson with an ODAC record 28 rebounds today. That's an insane number of rebounds in one game.

[2RMCFans]

As we think you said already, Anderson is having a fantastic season.  The outcome yesterday was never really in doubt but congrats to her on setting an ODAC record. 

And how great was it to see 30 WBB alums on campus yesterday?  What a great turnout for the women's game v. Hollins and for the program in general!

We heard that the new player L. Mallory played R-MC women's soccer last fall & wanted to play basketball, too.  Okay, sounds good!  There are very few athletes at R-MC who play more than one sport, so hats off to them; it cannot be easy.

GO JACKETS!!!!

^^^ Not many athletes play more than one sport at any level anymore. Hats off to those that do. There's a coach I know out here who played four sports -- soccer, basketball, tennis, and baseball -- in the late 90s. Not sure how he managed tennis and baseball. He then became an assistant basketball coach at his alma mater, then added head tennis coach (men and women) to that for a few years, before finally taking over as head men's soccer coach, which is now his sole job. Also had a woman at the same institution who played soccer, basketball, and softball. Another one currently plays basketball and softball and there was one who played volleyball and ran track and field. Sorry, I'll stop now.

Guilford's 60-58 home win over the Generals on Saturday gave Coach Flamini her 200th victory with the Quakers and kept GC in first place in the ODAC with a 16-2, 10-1 record.  Congratulations!

[2RMCFans]

^Congratulations indeed!  Quite an accomplishment for the Guilford women (& their coach). 

Jackets must be tough tonight at Shenandoah.  If we know Coach CK at all, she will have her team ready!

GO JACKETS!!!

CK hasn't been there for a couple of seasons; she moved to Lafayette as an assistant.

Turned on the R-MC/Shennandoah game for about the final 2 minutes last night with the Jackets up 72-71. Sadly that was the end of their scoring except for a last second heave (2 pointer) that banked in, while SU was able to make a hoop then seal it at the FT line. Bummer.

Nice second win over GC by the Lady Royals.  Guessing not many will want to play them in the playoffs.  http://www.emuroyals.com/sports/wbkb/2015-16/releases/20160206vuo1pm

Alright, folks -- the NCAA's first women's basketball regional rankings are posted. Check out the full list from D3hoops.com:
http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2016/02/10/first-2016-regional-rankings-released-today/

[flightless bird fan]

South

1 Texas-Tyler 18-1 21-1
2 Guilford 16-3 16-3
3 Maryville (Tenn.) 17-3 17-3
4 Lynchburg 17-4 17-4
5 Trinity (Texas) 16-3 18-4
6 Birmingham-Southern 17-2 18-2
7 Hendrix 16-5 16-5
8 Emory & Henry 15-4 15-5
9 Eastern Mennonite 14-6 14-6

EMU has three left, including with R-MC and W&L, both who beat the Lady Royals once this year.  Probably need to run the table to stay in this list???  Although the two wins again GC carries a little weight, I guess.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Remember, Results Versus Regionally Ranked Opponents was not factored into the first rankings. Next week will change just on that criteria alone, which also opens the door to more comparing across the board. So don't read into winning the next three to stay in the rankings... because the other criteria could turn rankings on their head.

Also, EMU being in ninth basically is a parting gift. They aren't getting an at-large bid from that position or even slightly higher. You really need to be in the top five here to have a chance. So EMU needs to win the ODAC title if they want to get in.
