WBB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Jester1390]

Tough loss by 7 to Transylvania.  19 fouls shots to 7.  Everything else even in the game see if it changes when they get some home games    Nice that there in every game but they need to stake next step and figuring out how to win

Interesting tid bit   Both the CCIW and HCAC have only one team in top 20 and I believe  HCAC won head to head this year 3-2  Rose played according to massy current the number 12 team Depauw
the number 21 team Transylvania the number 43 team North park and the number 72 IWU pretty tough schedule. This Wednesday hopefully jus t a nice relaxing game like elmhurst.

Guess that was you sitting behind the RHIT bench and talking to 2 young ladies periodically?

That was Hannah Woody and her mom. Hannah was the senior captain when the girls were freshman. just a example of just how great jobs are for the girls when they graduate at Rose. working for a defense contractor in Ohio.  I told her i had a secret clearance in the military i asked if she had  top secret and she said higher. couldn't talk about what she does.

Went to take a look at the score of the Rose-Earlham game... geez. 40-14 at halftime. In a span of about 10 1/2 minutes spanning the 1st and 2nd quarters, the game went from tied 2-2 to Rose 31-3

The stats from that 29-1 stretch...

A prof from Rose will be on Jeopardy tomorrow nite; didn't catch her name or department in the tease.

Going to be a long year for earlham.   Hein sat most of t eh first half with 2 fouls or it would have been worse.  I never saw the rose team that was right before my kids with the sisters.  I think we are back to that level but not 100 Pete be ton that.  I think Transylvania is better more welll rounded then back then. So hopefully the days of remember the sisters teams how great they were will be replaced by these girls making their legacy the next 2 years they will ha e the ability to beat Transylvania in the playoffs but it would help greatly to have game at home. They also have to show they can beat Hanover and Franklin and they can step on a couple of other teams

But rose is done being an easy win the freshman have grown up

The Franklin men went through a similar thing a few years ago. Had a team that was pretty much all fresh/soph but by the time they were all juniors and seniors they were battling at the top of the conference. Shared the regular season crown in 2020, won the conference tournament last year.

Looks like Rose should easily make the conference tournament this year and probably fight for somewhere between the 2 and 4 seed. Next year though they should be a force

Another nice win for rose against a team they only scored 29 points against 2 years ago    They held the pre all American Habernathy to  a quiet 16 points in their 76-63 victory. Jamie Baum will be an all American down the road
