Looking forward to a big year from the Lady Raiders this year as they jumped out to a 3-0 start and take on Hiram tomorrow.

They look well on their way to 4-0. Up 25 early in the 2nd half. 4 girls in double figures already.

p.s. I looked at the roster and Tessa is their only senior. They start a freshman, 2 sophs and a junior along with her. They could be set up for a nice little run over the next couple years if Suzy continues to bring in the talent like she has the last couple years!

Lady Raiders coasted to a 90-52 win over Hiram. Wiedt scored 12 to lead the 16 girls that scored for MUC. 16!! I didn't even know they dressed that many girls! Good day for Raider sports teams today.

Clearly Suzy has had time to recruit and put a system in place. Hopefully they can make some noise in the OAC this year.

I wish you success, but I'd caution you to not put too much stock in victories over Wooster and Hiram.

The Lady Raiders moved to 5-0 with an 87-69 win in Marietta. Tessa Pohovey had a good night w/ 20 and 8 boards. Amanda Rose chipped in a very efficient double double (13 pts on 6-8 shooting and 10 boards). As a team the Raiders shot 35 of 69 from the floor so it sounds like they executed well on O.

Anyone who wants to get a look at B-WC and is unable to get to Gambier can tune in to the B-WC/Kenyon game tomorrow at 1pm. Video link information is available over at the NCAC Women's Hoops thread.

6-0 and 2-0 in the OAC is still a good start to any season.

Got it done. 83-72. The ladies are off to a great start and they continue to be very balanced in the scoring department. 4 girls in double figures tonight (and 2 more with 8 points).

Lady Raider 8-0/4-0. I think it's time to get excited

Congratulations to MUC for breaking into the top 25 at #25 -- one slot ahead of Capital!

Merry Christmas Raider Ladies

Lady Raiders moved to 10-0 with a 65-58 win over Alfred. Tessa Pohovey notched a double double (11 pts. 10 reb). The Green girls led the way in scoring. Lauren Forquer had 12 pts and 9 boards. Amanda Rose led them with 17 pts to go along with her 6 reb, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block.

As soon as I post that Lenny updates the site and the Raiders are now 11-0 after downing Nazareth 72-50 this afternoon. No box score yet, but Kori Wiedt led them with 18 points. Good to see the Raiders come out strong on D by shutting out Nazareth the first 6 minutes of the game.

Looking at the season stats I can't help but notice how many girls are playing decent minutes. Amanda Rose leads the team with just 24.4 minutes/game. They have 11 girls who average at least 10 minutes/game. It would seem that this would not only keep they starters fresh, but also give Suzy a lot of latitude to play the hot hand, so to speak. She has a lot of options who are comfortable playing in game situations. I would think that we'll see the key girls' minutes increase as they get into the grind of the OAC slate, but that's a nice luxury to have as the season wears on.

p.s. Sorry for the 3 straight posts. I blame it on Lenny for posting that story.
