ODAC ladies win.    Silva leading scorer and MVP.

Bridgewater finished the season ranked No. 18 by the WBCA.

Some people have implied that the ODAC is not a very strong conference.  However, we have the top male and female player's of the year in the same conference.  In addition, Bridgewater is also in the top 25 for the women.  Not bad at all.

Anyone know if the NCAA Womens basketball all-star game that Silva is in on Saturday is being broadcast on the 'net?

Her first and middle names are both Jenifer? You'd think the parents would at least spell it right if they are going to give her the same first and middle name.

I'm headed to the game on Saturday to watch Silva play... hopefully she'll get some respectable playing time! I'll give a full report when I get back

Her first and middle names are both Jenifer?...

Why not? How many fanatical VWC hoops' alums will name  their first born sons "Ton Ton"  this year?

Thanks Pat !

I made the trek to Boston last night to see Silva play in the all star game. It was a great game all around, and Silva seemed a little nervous, but held her own very well. She got a few shots off... although in my humble opinion she should would have gotten more looks if they would have dished it off to her more! She played very good defense as expected and did a good job all around. Kudos to Megan for a fantastic season and career!!!

I emailed a few people at R-M about it back in February, but haven't heard anything about it.  I think they were waiting to see how far Silva would go this year.  I'd have to think they'd be considering it strongly knowing the people there that I do.  Good job on going to Boston!

I think a good way to go on things like this is to start by unofficially retiring the number immediately (as in, don't hand it out to incoming classes) but don't have a retirement ceremony until a few years down the line. That enables the school to have a nice get-together with the team, perhaps at reunion time, and introduce the player's accomplishments to the next generation of your school's fans.

Just my $.02.

And a very good $.02 that was!

I agree with withholding the number and having a ceremony down the road a few years.  She's got to be a shoe-in for our HOF, at the very least.
