WBB: Landmark Conference

[ronk]

Just watched NYU easily take care of Tufts.
NYU is tough inside & out, quick & deep.
Many other very good teams out there, but I'd have to say Hope & NYU are ranked right where they belong at this point in time.

Tufts was without All-American Maggie Russell for at least the 2nd consecutive game so the task was much easier for NYU today. Don't think Tufts would have beaten NYU with her, but no chance without her.

Good point.
I'm sure she would have negated some of NYU's easy buckets underneath & given Tufts some scoring options they obviously didn't have.
Regardless, NYU looks very good right now.

 Royals' games in St. Pete Mon/Tu are @ 3 pm; looks like video will be available. #16 Trine also there; too bad  Scranton won't get to play them; at least we'll get to compare how Trine does against Wartburg 1 day after Scranton plays them.

 Meghan Lamanna, Royals' commit, was named to NJ preseason all-state team; the only guards ahead of her on the 1st 2 teams are either D1 commits or underclassmen.

Talking recruits-Katie Gorski 22pts,6rb,5a opening night!!

Royals losing 13-8 after 1st quarter; shooting 2-16. ppv available; I'm following on live stats.

[ronk]

Royals win 2nd quarter 16-12; trail @ half 25-24; only 1-5 on 3 pt-ers.

[ronk]

Royals win 3rd quarter 18-10; lead after 3, 43-35.

Statement game-59-37  Lady Royals

[ronk]

 Royals finish strongly 59 - 37. Maddie H(13 pts, 10 rebs, 3 asts, 3 steals), Sara Walsh(6 pts, 3 rebs, 1 steal, 1 block) and Sam Rajza(16 pts, 3-5 3-pters, 5 rebs) with career games for them with the Royals.
  Wartburg plays Trine(winner over #1 Hope this past Saturday) tomorrow; should give a clue about relative merits of all 4 teams.
   So, Royals come back after a very slow start and below-average play from their frontline players. It's a team game over the long haul.

Glad to see others step up on a day when Monaghan and Angelini combined for 11 turnovers and only 11 points. 

[Augie2020]

That was the lowest total points by Wartburg since the season 2011-12 against Wash U 47-37.According to Wartburg this team had a high power offense!Wartburg 3 losses all top 25 teams and they play another one tomorrow.Also agree with Tim way to step up Maddie and Sam this team is only getting better and he is blending this team in nicely and having the guru coach of defense as an assistant does not hurt and it showed again today like it did every game this year.

Just read in the paper another merger between CSAC and UEC.

[Augie2020]
