WBB: Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference

Hmm, that seems problematic.

[Balder Eagle]

A thought to ponder:
Will Gallaudet have a roster.

What's going on at St. Mary's? That small roster's about the same size as Gallaudet's last season and the lack of players caused problems for them.

The CAC webpage on women's basketball has switched from reviewing the end of last season to a preview of this season

Schedule posted on D3hoops.

Maybe the website at Gaulludete is just not updated. Possibly a good webmaster cannot be found?

I bet that schedule is incomplete, probably gleaned from schedules posted by other schools, not submitted by Galluadet

Gallaudet just recently hired a new sid, and I'm sure he has mountains of work to do since they hadn't had an SID in the fall, so let's cut him some slack.
