Absolutely brutal start. Zips trail 20-4 end of 1st.

Zips fall 82-69 at the Stroh Center. Unfortunately, I think they played about as well as this group is capable of at this point. Kent hosting us on Saturday, let’s hope for a good showing after our boys maul them Friday night.

Welp. So much for that. Hard to win with a 3 point 2nd quarter. Was hoping for a little better effort with Buffalo on deck and a trip to Stroh following. Not sure what to even look to see from the team in its current state at this point. Maybe we can get up for the pair of Kent games in February…

Winnable game tonight in Oxford. Feel like we need a good showing here to get the season back on track.

Outscored 24-8 in the 2nd quarter. Woof. 40-22 CMU

Kaia Woods is in the portal and won’t be playing the rest of the season.

Michigan starts 8/9 from 3 and never looks back in a 96-55 win. Wolverine’s D is just nasty but I honestly think there can be a lot of positives to take into conference play from getting reps in against a team like they faced this afternoon.

Lady Zips fall to Tennessee State 72-68. Not sure what happened here but they have a quick turnaround and travel to Bellarmine Sunday.

On the cusp on a HUGE win. Up 8 under a minute left. MOBLEY eating today. Awesome.

What an impressive 3rd quarter! I also think the backdrops up top look sharp and create a more aesthetically pleasing, intimate, and focused game watch experience.

The Gensler Era enters its second season kicking off hosting Georgia State in the MAC-Sun Belt Challenge Monday night. I'm not really sure what our expectations should be with Reagan heading to West Lafayette and a lot of new faces on the squad but I'm looking forward to seeing the girls back in action.

Um, quite the resume coming off one year at a Florida community college. 17 mpg 5.1 ppg 1.5 apg 1.7 rpg https://www.nwfraiders.com/sports/wbkb/2022-23/bios/davis_jaela_m207 I guess she’s got some size for a PG, but not sure what we’re doing here.

Very nice offensive 1Q. Good guys by 7.

16 turnovers at half ain’t gonna cut it, but this team has showed they don’t quit and have had some nice 2nd half showings this year so if they can clean it up a bit in the 3rd they can make it respectable.

Couldn’t get anything to go down to start the game but the girls played VERY well in the 2nd. Down to single digits at half.

Let’s get a maximum effort here and have some balls bounce our way today. Sweep the weekend against Portage County Community College. Go Zips!

Impressive first half! Incredible effort up 35-14 at half!

You have to find a way to get Reagan more than 5 FGA. What on earth is going on here?

If we’re looking for improvement we just scored 48 points at home against a 5-13 team that’s in the bottom 15% of all WBB per NET. We’re 2-8 in conference with the best post in the league and maybe best player in school history. Yep, can’t wait to see what Coach can do with real talent. Cool story in the ABJ on a big time transfer pickup this year contributing 3.5 points per game though.

I too think highly of the program. That’s why I enjoy actually being in the “Top 4” when we have the MAC Player of the Year on our team. This years squad is also a team upperclassmen, yet the program is in last place in the MAC. Now that’s an “experiment” to put in the trophy case.
