SLIAC

[hopefan]

I'm looking forward to a fun game tonight between Webster and Fontbonne....  lots of good matchups, two firey coaches, a handful of spirited fans.....  would be fantastic if the student bodies got out and gave these ladies the support they deserve....  bigger game for Webster, a chance to show they can compete at the level of the Griffs, and that they are ready for the tourney....   I am REALLY looking forward to Friday night; it's anybody's tourney....

I'm looking forward to a fun game tonight between Webster and Fontbonne....  lots of good matchups, two firey coaches, a handful of spirited fans.....  would be fantastic if the student bodies got out and gave these ladies the support they deserve....  bigger game for Webster, a chance to show they can compete at the level of the Griffs, and that they are ready for the tourney....   I am REALLY looking forward to Friday night; it's anybody's tourney....

I dont want to take anything away from what Maryville did in this conference, or from the efforts put forth from the opposing teams in recent years.

However it is nice to read a statement like "it's anybodys tourney" and believe it.  Maryville had a great run but Im excited to see a new SLIAC women's champion. 

Since the tournament is set, Hope, do you think the coaches will rest their starters or go all out?  I would guess that Webster will go all out because they could share the conference title...

[NO RESPECT]

With two of the best players in the conference out all year, I am so proud of what the Blackburn Lady Beavers accomplished this season. To finish the regular season in 2nd place @ 12-4, says a lot about the other talented young ladies on the roster.

I am sooooo proud of you all. You all made me so proud this season, as we battled thru so much adversity, injuries and other crap, nevertheless, we overcame every obstacle and finish strong.

Way to go ladies. Let's not stop this train until we get to the NCAA tournament. All a board!!!!

[hopefan]

Coach it took a great job by you to pull it together...   looking forward to seeing the Beavs on Friday....

I am really looking forward to the tourney starting tomorrow night!  Can't wait to see what each team brings....I think the results will be surprising!  Go Blackburn!

[hopefan]

unfortunately will have to miss the DH tonite....will hope to make it tomorrow night!!!  Good luck to everyone...   play your best game!!

[illini22]

Way to go Blackburn! You really pulled it together tonight......go get 'em in the Championship tomorrow!

[NO RESPECT]

Congrats to Coach Quigley and the Fontbonne ladies, and much success to them in the NCAA tournament. I also want to thank my seniors: Meghan Schultze and Jasmine Robinson for all the hard work, blood, sweat and tears. You will be missed. I also want to thank all of the loyal fans that came out to support our team today, as we gave it all we had. The griffins were better TODAY!

So keep your heads up, and lets get in the weightroom and gym as we want to experience what the ladies from Fontbonne did today.

Love you all,

Coach Dubb

p.s What the hell am I going to do everyday now??? LOL

[hopefan]

RECRUIT!!!!!

Congrats on a great season..... 

will be interesting to see what next year brings if BC returns their two injured players to add to what they have coming back, and with Fontbonne losing nobody.  And spalding has everyone back...      That's 3 pretty good teams...  Webster will miss Katy Myers shooting, but most of the rest is back......   Don't know enough about the rest of the teams to comment... it will be a great season to look forward to.....

Katy Meyer is only a junior. I thought you were present when Webster recognized its seniors. The only member of the women's team recognized was Brittany Grant.

[hopefan]

geeesh, why did I think that..... even more to look forward to next season.....  Thanks for keepin me in line again.....

I've sent out a couple of PM s with no responses, and there aren't many writers on this page, but would anybody who was present care to elaborate on the incident of a serious issue with a fan abusing officials at the Blackburn - Fontbonne game...   I've heard it was pretty ugly.... only glad I wasn't there......it might have gotten uglier

[NO RESPECT]

Hey Hope, I have been in meetings all day...will get back with you soon!
