2015-16 Lady Zips Basketball

I see we're losing games by 20 points now. What happened?

[zippyball]

I have only seen their scores this year and I was wondering the same thing. They only lost 1 senior last year in Sina King and I know she was a great player but I was expecting tem to be very good again.

They only lost one to graduation, but they lost a few to transferring out. For example, starting freshman point guard, Kerri McMahan, transferred to St. Louis(former assistant coach, Glenn Box, is one of the coaches there. He may have recruited her originally to Akron). Another key transfer is Katie Nunan. She went back home to Fairmont State in West Virginia. Because it's not a DI school, she can play right away and has done well for them so far this season. Huge part of them being undefeated in DII right now.

Unfortunately, when that happens and you're playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores as your bench/depth, things aren't going to go well for you. Plus, beefing the non-conference schedule has been another reason for the 20 point losses. This team will get better, but it's hard to overcome the transfers.

Huge game vs YSU tonight. They have a solid team. Wish #14 was in Blue & Gold instead. She's from my high school alma mater and I enjoyed watching last season's run to the State Semifinals.

Up 36-21 at the half. Very impressive as this YSU team is 9-1 and only loss came to Penn State by 12-15 pts. They beat k.e.n.t. by 30(91-61).

I like the partitioning of the upper level to right-size the JAR for the womens games.

Reminder....tonite is a double-header with the women beginning MAC play vs. NIU at 5:00.

Ugly loss for the women today. Up by 13 to start the 4th quarter and get outscored 27-10. Ughh. Hope the men's game is a pick me up.

Is Anita Brown injured? She did not play?

She was apparently out with an injury. And the men's game did NOT make me feel better. :-)

Miracle Woods, WMU's leading scorer, also missed the the game for reasons I do not know. Interestingly, neither school's game stories mention anything about either player. Not exactly in depth coverage. Kind of significant news when both teams play without their best player?

And give them credit when it's due. Beating KSU is always a good thing.

They finished the season on a 4-game win-streak to finish 17-12 (11-7) and 2nd in the East. They're the 5th seed in the tournament, and will host the 12th seed at the JAR on Monday.
