WBB: Centennial Conference

rookie131, I have to concur with 'jamma's confusion (though I'd not voice it the same way). Susquehanna doesn't get any fans for women's games at home, I can't imagine they have a lively road following. Any details?

rookie131 · December 21, 2006, 08:58:26 AM

Considering the schools were on break, I thought Susquehanna brought a good number of people. One of the players is local, so I'm sure some of the fans came specifically to see her. The compaint on my part was regarding the negativity that seemed to be non-stop from the fans that were there. The game was great and I would have preferred to hear the fans cheering for the women that were playing their hearts out, not ripping the opposing coach and team.

And, my comment about the refs... Yeah, I have complained about the refs at a game, but not every call against a team is wrong. Hearing a fan yell at the ref that he or she is losing the game for the team is very frustrating for me. There were bad calls, good luck finding a game that doesn't have bad calls, but the ref isn't losing the game for your team.

Once again, I want to make it very clear that I didn't think this was a reflection on the team or coaches. Susquehanna has a great team and I wish them the very best of luck.

Still, rookie, I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully it was just that local contingent and not indicitave of our fans in general. Although I do hope to see more fans at the women's games after break...

Congrats to the Mules who are #21 in the USA Today ESPN Division III Top 25 Coaches' Poll and #23 in the D3Hoops Top 25. I'm excited to see them back in action this weekend.

Great job by the Mules last night to win a tough one against F&M. Big kudos to F&M for their play, they have a strong team this year. With three players being very sick (2 of them starters), the Mules were able to hang in until the end for the win. I think this was a great test for them going into games vs McDaniel at home and Hopkins on the road.

In the most recent polls, the Mules are ranked #19 and #20. Nice job ladies!

Also notable is Emily Wright, who is ranked #8 in Three-Point Field-Goal Percentage. She has really turned it on this year to the delight of the fans.

A disappointing loss to McDaniel at home last week. The Terror definitely outplayed the Mules, but I'm surprised by the margin of the win. McDaniel definitely brought their A game. I hope this gets them some attention for being a really good team. They always play tough, but I think this team was exceptionally good.

An awesome win at Johns Hopkins. The first win there during the regular season for the Mules. Hopkins is a tough place to play and the Mules showed that they were ready to start a new winning streak.

Not sure what all of this means to their spot in the polls. Looks like a number of the top 25 teams struggled this week.

I also wanted to convey my sympathy to Coach Flynn's family and players at McDaniel. I saw him coach at Muhlenberg on Thursday, so it is surreal that he passed away the following evening. He seemed to be doing a great job with the McDaniel program and certainly appeared to be a class act.

McDaniel at Dickinson, 7:00
Let's see ... where do we begin? It's a matchup between the top two teams in the Conference. The Green Terror (16-2, 10-1 CC) is undefeated in eight road games this season, while the Red Devils (15-3, 10-2 CC) are 9-0 on the friendly hardwood of the Kline Center. It's one of the oldest series in the Conference, as the two clubs meet for the 63rd time in a series that began in 1970. Dickinson has won the last two regular-season meetings in Carlisle, but McDaniel captured the 2005 Centennial title over the Devils on the Kline Center floor. The Terror is the highest-scoring team in the Conference (68.7), while Dickinson has the stingiest defense (47.8 ppg). The Red and White protects the ball better than any team in the CC at 15.2 turnovers per game, while the Green and Gold is tops in takeaways (24.5). You can listen to the game on WDCV-FM 88.3 and follow live stats and play-by-play online - www.centennial.org/basketball/women/gameday.html.

Saturday's Top Game - Dickinson at Ursinus
The Red Devils (16-4, 10-3 CC) and the Bears (12-7, 9-4) meet in a critical contest that will have major playoff implications. Dickinson won the first meeting between the teams on Jan. 9 by a 66-55 count, as the Devils held Mary Kate Daley to just eight points on 4-of-12 shooting. Dickinson has won the last three meetings at Helfferich Hall and eight straight overall to take a 15-5 series advantage.

It's the final weekend of regular-season play in women's basketball and playoff spots are still up for grabs.

Muhlenberg at Ursinus (Women's Basketball)
The Bears (15-9, 11-6) need a win over the third-seeded Mules (19-5, 12-5) to secure a playoff berth. Muhlenberg has won the last three meetings against Ursinus by a combined total of 12 points.

Gettysburg at Dickinson (Women's Basketball)
It looks like the Bullets (15-9, 12-5) are securely in the field, but need a win to finish as the third or fourth seed. The Red Devils (20-4, 14-3) have the No. 2 seed for the tournament. Gettysburg can get its first season sweep of Dickinson since 2004 with a triumph.

Johns Hopkins at Franklin & Marshall (Women's Basketball)
The Blue Jays (13-9, 11-6) need a win over the Diplomats (6-17, 5-11), combined with an Ursinus loss, to keep their tournament hopes alive. A Hopkins win will even the all-time series at 27-27.

It's the opening night of the 2007 Centennial women's basketball tournament with a first-round game scheduled for Helfferich Hall in Collegeville, Pa.

Gettysburg at Ursinus, 7:00
The fourth-seeded Bears (16-9, 12-6 CC) play host to the fifth-seeded Bullets (15-10, 12-6) for the right to meet top-seeded McDaniel in Saturday's semifinals. Ursinus is making its first appearance in the Centennial tournament since 1998. The teams split their regular-season meetings, as Gettysburg (66-59) and Ursinus (53-50) each won on its home floor. Ursinus won the only meeting between the teams in the postseason, capturing a 94-90 overtime decision at Helfferich in 1995.
