WBB: Landmark Conference

That DeSales/Scranton game tomorrow afternoon should be very interesting!  I'm fairly sure I spotted Ronk at the game, but we left after Widener/DeSales, and if it was him, he had disappeared.

Kate,
   I got there partway thru the 2nd half of the Widener game after meeting up with some cousins for lunch. I looked for you but couldn't find you; even asked BJ if he had seen you but he hadn't. Sorry we missed each other; won't be at tomorrow's games.

 The Lady Royals struggled on offense against TCNJ who were missing 2 of their bigs. Alexix Roman was effective down low(10-12) and Nicole Alicea led in rebounds/loose balls with 10 and effective foul shooting in the final 3 minutes. The players are going to need some time to adjust to each other while trying to replace the 2/3 of last year's offense that graduated. 2 frosh(Tina Peden,Bridgette Mann) looked promising.
  I look for another struggle tomorrow against the well-coached DeSales team. They've spanked Scranton badly in the past(70-46, 3 years ago) when the Royals had better personnel than the current edition.

Hi ronk I am just wondering what bigs are you talking about?I looked back at TCNJ roster and stats and the only two players that are over 6 foot are Scott,Chiara paloridi might be wrong spelling but if that is the two your talking about bud they probably saw a total of 20 minutes between them.Congratulations coach Woodruff on your first win and many more to come.Scranton might have struggled but they still won with a team only returning 2 starters keep that in mind.

Good morning, Ronk!  Perhaps B.J. didn't recognize a Widener shirt that I was sporting  .  We had wanted to see Coach Kintner's newest Family member and her parents & Hubby, so I wore Widener blue.  You walked past us, we were in the stands across from the Widener bench.  At any rate, our season has started - we'll be following today's games on live stats.  Enjoy the next four months, and let's hope for some decent Winter weather!

I was thinking of Nikki Schott(6-0) whom I saw play AAU ball and was expecting to be a factor yesterday and another 6-footer whom I briefly talked with who was wearing a boot.

Lady Royals completely dominate a veteran Desales team at their tournament.
Tied at the half, the Royals pull away & win by 17.
This team has only scratched the surface of their potential.
So many new parts yet playing with the confidence of a veteran team.
Can't wait till coach gets a fews years of recruiting under his belt.

PS:
Congrats to Alexix for making the All-Tournament Team & to Nicole for being named Tournament MVP.
Total hustle for 40 minutes each game.
Well done!

[saratoga]

Sorry...
That would be Noelle.

  Bridgette Mann had a very nice game. In addition to fine shooting, she got a lot of rebounds and assists. It's comfortable to know that she can get off a good shot in a 1-on-1 situation, that she looks for the shooting opportunity, and that she can make foul shots in the end-of-quarter double bonus situation. Looks like a PLAYER.

All I have to say is what a difference coaching makes.I said this last night watch out for bridget mann.I have been around basketball along time and saw many players.She will be a star at the U

Wonder if we're related. There are a lot people on that side of the family that I don't know.

Gordon,
  I sense you're laying the groundwork for a reason to make another trip to the Electric City to watch the Lady Royals.

[gordonmann]

Indeed! We'll do Mann family trivia to see if we're related.
