WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[fairmont1113]

Tonight Bridgewater will play their final home game of the season.

Before the game they will honor their four seniors who will play in Ninger for the last time of their careers.

Here's what they have accomplished over their four years......

Record

overall: 88-27
conference: 63-16
home: 38-7
odac tourn. 5-3
ncaa 2-1

one regular season first place finish, two tournament championship appearances, one ncaa appearance including an appearance in the Sweet 16.

Both Katy Herr Lovell and Shannon Scales are 1,000 point scorers and rank in the top ten all time at BC in scoring.

Katy Herr Lovell is the only player in Bridgewater history to rank in the top 10 in points, rebounds, assists, and steals.

She is the all-time steal leader at Bridgewater and will make her 116th consecutive start as an Eagle, another BC record.

Shannon Scales is the all-time leader at BC for most three-point field goals made.

Combined, these four seniors have accounted for 3,747 points over the past four seasons.

So, a great big thanks to Katy Herr Lovell, Shannon Scales, Amy Childs, and Jessica Young for all they've accomplished over their four years at Bridgewater!

So.....fairmont and all other die hard BC fans......if KHL is the only player in the history of Bridgewater basketball to rank in the top 10 in all of those categories...scoring (6th), rebounds (7th), assists (4th), and steals (1st) and is the iron woman for career starts with #116 tonight....then could it be argued that like Silva at RMC.....KHL is the best player to have gone through BC?




EMU vs. VWC

I think the Marlins will definitely get the win. EMU will have just played a tough Roanoke team, which will wear them out more so then a three hour bus ride from the beach will do to VWC. I think the Marlins will come out ready for blood and ready to avenge the loss that EMU put on them earlier this season. I will be at that game and can't wait!

Silva was the best player to go through ODAC. not just RMC.

EMU could have wrapped up a 3rd place finish tonight if they had beaten Roanoke, now if they lose to VWC tomorrow, looks like BC slips back into 3rd on a tiebreaker.

Roanoke is playing tough down the stretch.  I think they'll be the favorite in the 4/5 game in the tourney even more so than usual as they always seem to perform above themselves during tourney time anyway playing in their own backyard.

I think this is why people get mad at you RMC fans always talking about Silva. Not because you bring her up....but because you insist on talking about her superiority. Yes, she was amazing...and everyone..I mean everyone...will agree about that.

However, GAVA, I asked a question for BC fans about where they think KHL stands in terms of the BC greats. I have only been in the valley for a year and so do not know much about BC history, and so I was curious.

No, I am not worked up at all. I could care less about how much people want to talk about Silva. I think she was an amazing player and should be talked about for a long time to come. All I am doing is pointing out why people on this board get mad about all the Silva talk. She gets talked about for no reason.

Maybe Pat Colman can verify this but i think that there is a rule that once your uniform is retired your name is also retired from use on the chat board .
Congratulations Megan.
Good luck today Marlins even tho 2nd was hand delivered to you last night.

[GAVA]

Former Randolph-Macon guard Megan Silva finished with more points (2,371), assists (700) and steals (446) than any male or female basketball player in ODAC history


I wasn't the one who brought up Silva. You did, once again trying to compare Herr and Silva. My response will always be that while Herr ( or anyone else ) may be the best alltime player at their own school, Megan was the best alltime player in ODAC, female or male.

I think one does protest too much. What exactly are you trying to say

[GAVA]

Congratulations Megan.

I think you may be right as long as the other rule is also followed. The second rule that no one is dense enough to try to compare a current player to someone whose uniform is retired.

[odac fan 4 life]

GAVA....I was not trying to compare the two players to each other on the idea of who was better.....if you read my post I said would die hard BC fans consider KHL the best player at BC, like RMC fans consider Megan Silva the best at RMC. I was giving a recent example of a player on this board that ppl say was the best at her school, and yes, the ODAC. I never once was trying to compare them.

What I was trying to say when I replied to you is that RMC fans try and find ways to announce how wonderful Megan Silva is, even when there is nothing on this board to give you reason to.

Not a big deal at all though, I was just posing a question to BC fans and you had to "put in your two sense" about the fact that Megan Silva was the best player ever.

Now, on another note, congratulations to Megan Silva on having her jersey retired. That is quite an honor. Has anyone else had their jersey retired at RMC?

(GAVA, if you answer, "Megan Silva is the best ever", then that won't actually answer my question )

[fairmont1113]

with 2:30 left in the game...

EMU- 51
VWC- 51

Never

EMU wins a nail biter over VWC...who loses yet another game to a top conference opponent. EMU now locks up the #3 seed which will give BC the #4 seed.

To me, I think EMU finishing 4 spots higher then they were predicted and sweeping VWC gives their coach plenty of reason for COY.

I know Coach LaHaye got her 400th win, but COY is because of accomplishments done during the season, not the career. RMC, despite what people say, was expected to do well, they even received a #1 vote in the preseason poll and they were preseason nationally ranked, so you can't say that they were not expected to be good this season. People knew they were going to be good. Nobody thought EMU would do this good. This is only their coach's second year and look at what he has done.

Congrats to EMU on their win over VWC.

should be a great and exciting tourney.

Coach LaHaye and her team have overcome many things this season to make her a primary candidate, not even including the 400 wins. Like I said before, they lost 7 players as opposed to EMU's 2 players. Not only did RMC lose Silva, they lost 2 other starters as well. LaHaye truley started from scratch (with the exception of some solid returning players) with new freshman and transfers and made this team something special. And I agree with GAVA, they just beat EMU by 30, which really just sums it up I think.
