WBB: Landmark Conference

[Augie2020]

Wilkes woman looking for a new head coach.Tara Macciccoa retired.Taking a local job as Director at the Riverfront.

Congrats to Jenna Larrabee for her contribution Saturday.
In 16 minutes of action, she scored 9 pts. & grabbed 6 rebounds & at least 2 blocked shots.
We'll need Jenna to contribute like this down the stretch. 

Great coaching move:
Coach O'Brian takes his sub point guard out with 10 seconds left in the first quarter...Bridget checks back in and drops a lay up in at the buzzer.
Ahh, the little things.

Tremendous defensive effort by the Lady Royals tonight, holding Moravian to 31 points on 19% shooting.  They'll need to keep it up against E-Town on Saturday; it will be hard to beat them for a third time without Maddy Ryan in the lineup.

[saratoga]

It will be a huge challenge Tim.
Since she's been out, the replacements just aren't the same players with a nose for the ball & the determination to get the offensive put backs.
It's been such a dependable part of their overall offense & now they need to continue to find new ways to recoup her rebounds & points.
I'm sure Coach will have them ready for yet another challenge but they will need a near flawless game & their defense will probably save them.

[Augie2020]

Well the games will be played Women -2pm Men -430pm!

Congratulations to the Lady Royals on winning the Landmark Conference for the 9th season in a row.Mpte later Also hats off to E-Town for playing us well especially the first quarter down 11-3.Great job by Elizabethtown to have fans bused up to the U.Well down by the school (I think it was 2 paid for by the College itself.

[saratoga]

Congrats to all the Lady Royals & their coaching staff for yet another championship & trip to the Big Dance.
It never gets old!

I'm pretty sure this is their 8th. consecutive title but, point well taken...they've won a lot in a row. 

So hard to beat a quality team 3 times & to lose your starting center right before your first game then a starting forward 2 weeks ago shows the talent, coaching & confidence this team has.

Well done ladies!

Congrats to Kaci Kranson for being selected MVP as a freshman in the Landmark conference tournament.Also hats off To Maddie Hartnett(Helluva game)Allie Lynch and Jenna Larrabee for stepping up for the absence of Maddie Ryan.Great all around job

[ronk]

 Yes, congrats, this was an impressive performance, beating an excellent team for the 3rd time with a cornerstone(Maddie R) out of the game. Pleased to see that the coaching staff adjusted the Renno screen for McNulty defense from the previous game 2 weeks ago; Summer had at least 3 easy 15' jumpers in that one and she's too good to allow that; this time, Renno's defender combined with Hannah to prevent Summer from having that open shot. Quality play from everyone.

Conceivably, might have the same Scranton pod as last year with New Paltz, Babson, and New Jersey City(if they win the NJAC AQ tonite. I said last year that those other underclassmen-based teams could return this season.

[Augie2020]

Great day to watch basketball-Watched Tufts beat #16 Trinity and watching a great game so far in the 3rd Babson at Smith.Be headed over to the Wiac also.Have a great day Royal fans something to smile about today both teams are dancing

Ok, let's have the Royals men play @ Johns Hopkins' pod; then the buses transporting the Royals men and the JHU women can meet @ the I-81 rest area east of Hbg, transfer the teams to the opposite bus, and the buses can return to their respective campus, saving an overnite driver expense. It's amazing what can be done with a little planning. 

[saratoga]

Unfortunately, that won't be possible.
The men are headed north to Oswego State.
