WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[GAVA]

The Yellow Jackets, who have advanced to three straight Sweet Sixteens, were led by Riesbeck, who had game-highs of 23 points, 13 rebounds and six blocks. Senior guards Salem Shaffer (Hampton, Va.) and Kristen Morgan (Brigantine, N.J.) closed out their collegiate careers with 14 points and 11 points, respectively.

Great season Jackets - let's hope more ODAC teams are there next year!

Unfortunately with the ODAC's ranking being so low I think we may go a few years with no at large bids.

Please remember that "ranking" has no impact on at-large bids.

Sorry Ralph.  I might have used the wrong terminology. I thought it was the ODAC's ranking as a " weak conference" that was a major factor in VWC not getting an at large bid. Please clarify again. Thanks.

QOWI...

63   9.720   6   Hardin-Simmons   0.800 (20-5)   21-5
64   9.680   7   Virginia Wesleyan   0.760 (19-6)   21-7

GAVA, thanks for responding.

HSU was the team reportedly on the bubble.  VWC was shortly behind them.

I think I can confidently make the statement that a VWC regular season victory over any one of these teams would have earned a Pool C bid:

Maryville TN, Bridgewater, EMU either time, or RMC.

Too many in-region losses!

One more win would have boosted the QOWI to 10.00!

Congrats to the Jackets on a GREAT season... can't wait for next year!!! It's been a pleasure to watch Shaffer and Morgan play during their careers... so proud of them and all they have accomplished on and off the court!

I was down at Roanoke today to watch the ODAC-USA South all-star game. The South got the best of the ODAC at the end, the story is up on the ODAC website.

We had too many guards and they had too many posts. They had us outrebounded at half 45-19 including 25 offensive rebounds!

Caroline Wesley and Nichole Thurston were supposed to play, but for some reason could not, and so Jessica Hunsinger and Salem Shaffer had to bear the load of playing some very big posts off the South Squad.

Shaffer had a heck of a game with 30 points including 8-of-12 from behind the arc and she also had 9 rebounds.

Katy Herr Lovell had a very solid game with 9 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals, and 4 assists. She truly does it all and to me was very deserving of all-region honors, but once again was left out of that category.

Congratulations to all ODAC seniors!

That's what it sounded like although one of the USASouth guards had 7 rebounds.  Of course she is an All-American and rightfully so.  Watching the game what do you think did she deserve the AA status.

Congrats to RMC for cracking the Top 25 in the final poll !!!

Hello, is this working?  Can anybody hear me?  Just wondering if anyone has entered the room yet for the 2007-2008 ODAC Women's Bball season.  Looking for your preseason front runners.
