Sorry. I tend to just skim over long posts, I thought maybe you did that to mine.

The only other freshman I remember is one of the VWC guards. Nice talent, but Ellis had her on the stats.

Quote from: Old School Marlin Silva is definitely one of the ODAC's bestquote]

"one of the best"...That sounds like halfhearted props Marlin.
I think if Silva sets ODAC records for Assists AND Scoring then it could be objectively stated she has been the best to have ever played in ODAC.

Come on now! I want to know about some of the action around the league tonight. I heard there were some good games...some important games.

BC beat Hollins tonight, 63-37, to finish up 11-0 at home for the year.

Amy Childs was the only player to play over 20 minutes, and she only played 22 minutes. Bridgewater shared the ball really well as 12 girls got in the scoring colum for the Eagles.

Shannon Scales led BC with 15 points while Becca Henderson had 10 points and 8 rebounds. Bridgewater's big guns, Herr and Kinder, got a little rest tonight as Herr came up with 4 points on 2-of-4 shooting, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals in just 17 minutes. Kinder had 7 points on 3-of-8 shooting, 4 assists, and 2 steals.

Coby Wilmer paced Hollins with 16 points and 9 rebounds.

Bridgewater finishes up its season at EMU on Saturday with a chance to lock up their third straight 20-win season as the Eagles currently sit at 19-5.

fairmont1113,

It's interesting you brought up that the Eagles finished 11-0 at home this season. I looked back at the results from last year, and they finished the season winning their last seven games in Nininger Hall, giving them a current home winning streak of 18.

Their last loss in Bridgewater was on January 15, 2005, against Emory & Henry (49-48).

BC will need to win the ODAC to get a bid to the NCAA's. If they had beaten the Marlins on the road then an at large bid would not have been out of the question.

The Quakers came from 10 behind at home last night to beat W&L 63-56. A 26-7 Guilford run starting around the 14-minute mark gave them a 9-point lead with about 5 minutes to go and, after the Generals cut it to 57-56, King hit 6 straight FT's. Speaking of King, she had 26 points and 11 rebounds while Kristine Ellis added 10 points and 17 rebounds, so both had double-doubles. I think this adds some credence to Ellis possibly winning FOY. W&L was led by Krouchick, Feve and Hunsinger with 17, 16 and 15, respectively. Krouchick also had a double-double with 10 rebounds while Hunsinger came close with 9. I looked at stats this morning and King has 546 points to 511 for Silva, but King has played two more games, so Silva leads in ppg 23.2 to 22.8. RMC finishes the regular season at Hollins and RMWC while GC entertains LC.

Ellis had 10 points and 17 rebounds in a win over W&L last night, so those numbers might help her bid for FOY.

Yes, GC plays one more regular season game than RMC.
I expect RMC to cut Silva loose from here on out. She needs more than 100 points to set the ODAC scoring record. So she will need 4 or 5 games at 25 or 30 points each. Expect to see her playing alot, even against Hollins.

Could happen. If they beat RMC in the finals the ODAC gets 2 teams in.

Yeah, I know. Not trying to be too hard on HU & RMWC, but realistically they probably won't keep Silva from getting big numbers.

Awesome win against the Royals, VWC!!

GAVA - Half-hearted props to Silva? Give me a break -s top taking the "everybody hates R-MC route...it's not a good look for you. I said she's great and I mean it.

"I expect RMC to cut Silva loose from here on out."

Against Hollins and RMWC?

For a record?

I am sorry, but I do not agree with that, if that ends up being the case.

VWC, EMU, and BC all kept their starters to under 22 minutes against Hollins. The only exception to that is when BC played at Hollins and Herr played 26 minutes and EMU played at Hollins and Matthews played 27 minutes. With those two exceptions every other starter played under 22 minutes in both of those respective teams' games against Hollins.

The second time around against Hollins, Herr played 17 minutes and Matthews played 13. I am sure the first time when they played all of 26 and 27 minutes against Hollins, they were not trying to set records.

I was fine the first time RMC cut Silva loose on Hollins so she could reach 2,000 points at home. However, cutting Silva loose in two potential blow-outs? That does make me question the class of RMC? I think Silva will get the record, regardless if she doesn't see 36 minutes a game in these last two games. Silva and RMC have plenty of games left in this season. Even if they lose in the ODAC tournament, they will be going on as they are currently ranked #1 in the last south region rankings.

If Silva sets the record, great for herand for the ODAC! But set the record in a classy way, not getting cheap points against teams that are a combined 6-38.
