Despite a game where we didn't move the ball effectively (9 assists) or protect the ball very well (18 turnovers), we gutted this one out. Lacey Suggs and Jenny DeGraaf each nearly has double-doubles, posting 15 points and 8 rebounds apiece. Chinyere Bell also had 15 points in the effort.
Where we won this game was at the free throw line. We were there 19 times compared to Wofford's 11, and shot at a better clip (73.7 %) than the Terriers did (63.6 %)
Chalk this up as another win we would NOT have gotten in season's past.
We've now won 3 of our last 4, improving to 4-4 vs. D-I competition with just one more non-conference game to go. We are # 200 in the RPI and will have plenty of opportunities to improve on that in CAA play. The league is ranked 10th in D-I based on RPI.
Next up: A very winnable home game against Georgia St. (1-6 vs D-I) on Thursday @ 1 PM.
Great to have the Ladies playing so well now. New coach definitely has things going in the right direction.
Can we really make that statement on such a small sample size?
I'm obviously kidding, but the conversation has to work both ways.....
