WBB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[Matt Barnhart (kid)]

Yes, Kid - you got it right, too.  We are probably the only ones who really believed, and it was a great win for your program.  Coach Willi's tough.  Good luck against RMC.

Assuming your a W&L fan, your team certainly showed the Jackets are beatable! I just hope our young kids still believe. They played them tough both times during the regular season.

Who will win?

[Matt Barnhart (kid)]

WAY TO GO EAGLES!!!!! Big win over RMC, 70-64.

Both BC wins in the tourney have been "ugly" ... but hey, if you play ugly and win, that means you forced the other team to play ugly as well.

Saunders played huge for us. I love how our coaches play her up at the top of the key. Seeing that she rotates with Henderson as a center, opponents will sometimes leave her open. She nailed three from behind the arc in today's win - what a weapon to have!

Come on Eagles ... ONE WIN FROM THE NCAA TOURNEY! Even if we come up one game short, the last two wins (over the league's No. 3 and No. 2 teams) will bode well for next year, although we will really miss Timberlake's leadership at the point.

GO EAGLES!

Awesome, Kid! All props to BC for pulling off that great upset. I haven't felt that RMC has been playing with much passion recently... IMO, with all their weapons, they've been taking opponents for granted too often.

Your ladies deserved their win. Hope you can go all they way, but if not, just getting to the final was a great accomplishment.

MB / Kid - It was really nice to see the Eagles take the win yesterday.  I agree with dukeofargyle - RMC players didn't seem like they were giving it their best in the past few games.  Coach Willi also really knows how to take what she has - inexperienced, raw talent - and make it come together.  That's the key - take advantage of your assets -whatever they are.  Great job Bridgewater!!

CONGRATS TO THE EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matt Barnhart (kid)]

Wow, I was pacing the last 10 minutes of the game. Eagles win 57-56 over VWC to win the title and NCAA bid!

Unbelievable run through the ODAC tournament, beating No. 3, No.2, and No. 1!

Phew ... my heart is still racing ... more comments later ...

 Huge win by Bridgewater! Beating the top 3 seeds in a tournament almost never happens but congrats to the team which struggled for much of the season but never gave up and won the ODAC title!
Henderson and Timberlake and company have much to be proud of.

[Matt Barnhart (kid)]

Jordan Burkholder (freshman) named tournament MVP ... Bosserman and Timberlake also named all-Tournament.

Wow...

[Jeremybozz]

 It would seem to me that Va. Wesleyan would have at least a shot at an at large bid for the NCAA's but the announcers for BC did not think so.
Any thoughts on the Lady Marlins postseason chances?

[Jeremybozz]

 Make the ODAC proud in the NCAA's.

CONGRATS TO THE EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this!

Way to go, BC- it's great when the underdog takes the prize... keep the intensity up- now on to NCAA's.

I'm really disappointed that VWC didn't get a spot in the tourney too. 

Hopefully Bridgewater can keep their winning streak going at least into sectionals.  They obviously showed they have the ability and determination by their efforts this past weekend.

Every win is a plus for the ODAC.
