Friday, January 26

Lynchburg at Bridgewater

Hollins at Roanoke

R-M Woman's Coll. at Eastern Mennonite

BC wins by 45 over RM-Women's, 81-36.

Not that exciting of a game. The Eagles looked good with everyone getting in the action, but it was only RM-Women's, so you can't get too excited.

How did they beat Roanoke?

RMC wins easily. 25 point lead after 8 minutes. E&H's Lyons was impressive, could play with any team.Good game for Ariail. Hiltunen and Riesbeck also in double figures with less than 20 minutes of play.

Make that 2 uneventful evenings in a row. ODAC really down to a 4 team race.
Games between these 4 will decide the regular season championship. If anyone can run the table they may also get an at-large ticket to the dance.

Anyone know of another team besides RMC where the top 2 scorers share a position and never play at the same time? Pretty unusual but seems to be working.

I assume you're talking about Riesbeck and Ariail?

Riesbeck averages 19.9 minutes a game, while Ariail averaged 22.1. That means they have to be on the court at the same time at least 2.2 minutes a game, although it's likely more.

So you can't say they never play at the same time.

I'm sure when it comes down to the ODAC tournament, Coach LaHaye will play her best players as much as she can.

Thats 2.0 minutes and I doubt it is any more since they are both playing the 5 position.

Arial has never started. To play them both LaHaye would have to change the starting line up.

Umm, why can't Ariail and Riesbeck play together with only one starting? I think there will be times during the ODAC tournament where Coach LaHaye will want to play "big."

Just saying ... I'm not surprised that they are the top two scorers. R-MC is simply playing to their strength offensively, which is with their bigs.

She might, but hasn't so far ( with the exception of the couple games Morgan missed ). To play them both at the same time you have to move Riesbeck to another position and sit out one of your starters.

Except for Hiltunen who is the smallest player on the team.

There hasn't been to much talk about EMU this year. They are quietly having a nice year. I haven't been able to make a game yet. Are their any stars on the team or just a solid team effort each night?

How will they do in the tourny?

Re: EMU
When I saw them play, they looked like they worked very well as a team - I know - a dirty concept to some people on this board! If you had to pick a superstar, I guess it would be the Riley girl. I was surprised by how well EMU is now doing. When they got rattled, though, it seemed like they just collapsed.
