What a great game for McM to have to come from behind and charge ahead. It wasn't pretty from what I heard on the radio, but I couldn't "see" everything. Ralph, do you know if this is the best start for McM? I assume it is. Good job ladies, it doesn't matter how ugly a win is, a wise man told me once after a particular ugly game, "A win is forever fabulous".

[Ralph Turner]

Fanstand, I am away from my records.  I would need to look at the 1999-2000 season.

[Ralph Turner]

Fanstand, the Lady Indians went 7-0 in the 1999-2000 season before a loss to NAIA-1 Lubbock Christian.  McM avenged the loss a week later.  They improved to 9-1 before a road loss at ETBU.

McM lost 5 games that year.  Lubbock Christian, ETBU (the ASC-East winner) and HSU once in the regular season, once in the Tourney finals and once in the Sweet 16.

Best start ever.
