Franklin falls to UW-Stevens Point 61-58 in the first round. Tied at halftime, Grizzlies were as close as 2 with a couple minutes to go but could get no closer. Franklin finishes the season at 25-3

Great competition.

Just four games into conference play and only 3 teams have lost fewer than 2 games. Looks like Transylvania may be the team to beat so far.
Seems like a lot of the teams are hitting the road over the break... Hanover already went out to California and lost to Redlands, Anderson has a couple games in Atlanta, Transy and Hanover head down to Birmingham for a pair of games, and Manchester heads out west for a couple games in California.

Still a good battle for the top seed with 11 games left. Transy at 6-1 has a slim lead over Franklin, Defiance, and Manchester at 5-2 with Hanover at 4-3. Everyone has won a conference game and everyone but Earlham have won at least two.

Didn't want you to be completely alone FCGrizz ;)

Surprised that neither Franklin or Transy get any top 25 votes.  Based about their nonconf games I understand why they are not in the top 25, but not even a vote?  Franklin was 6-1 in nonconf action and is 8 in their region.  Hopefully, who ever gets the AQ will make some noise in the tourney to get the HCAC more respect.

Hanover is up at Hope taking on Ohio Northern who has a 25 game win streak. Going to be a tough task but good luck ladies.

The HCAC season has officially come to an end with Hanover's 86-68 loss to Ohio Northern. They were down just 2 early in the 2nd half, but it was all ONU from there.

Figured I'd bring something new to the board an RHIT backer. Here goes nothing:

Potentially, if everything falls right, this could be one of R-H's best years. Literally everyone returns and Coach Prevo added 3 to 4 freshmen who can impact and raise the teams athleticism and physicality.

If these questions are answered positively, I feel top 3 is possible:

1. Can Lauren Meadows play the entire season?

2. Will a years maturity and some new talent, reduce the 21 turnovers per game?

3. Will The soccor playing backcourt sophs transition to basketball?

4. Will Addie Johnson be ready to play after fall term internship?

5. Will freshman big, Jamie Loving be in full shape from July knee surgery?( can be a big impact player, along with long range shooter Ava Pera..can't spell it, and Kristin Beleaya, and a couple other frosh)

Should be a fun year for the Engineers.

Kelsey Ploof is not a question. Her effectiveness should increase with help inside.

Next Wednesday should be a interesting start to Conf play with Hanover at Franklin and Manchester at Definace. I am interested to see how this year plays out. I think it is always a challenge to top Transy. Coach Todd is a great coach.
