Nash from Fisher didnt make it, you have to be kidding, she is heart and soul of that team! typical of empire 8!  They got the player of the year right, anyway, from a winning team.

I asked this question before, and really got no answer.  Is it because no one cares or no one knows?  So, I'll give it another try.  What happened to Elmira? Their coach had them going in the right direction, and then they had a worse season than last year. Is it a matter of one step back to take two steps forward?

Anyone know what Hartwick has this year?

does anybody know anything about Ithaca's team this year? How are their freshman? They have a lot of scoring to make up for from last year!

Hartwick will start four Juniors and a Freshman. Had their 1st game/win against Albertus Magnus 11/22. They had strong play from the starting 5 and excellent off the bench play from their lone Senior.
They will be in the chase for the Empire 8 in 2005-06. The only roadblock will be injury, as they only carry 11 players.

Ithaca certainly did lose a lot from last year's squad. It's not easy to replace the school's all-time leading scorer as Ithaca will have to do this year with the departure of Stephanie Cleary. Jess Poole is also gone. She was a good role-player and ball-handler.

The onus falls primarily on Sue Kelly. She has a nice outside shot and is capable of scoring in bunches. She will, however, have to start going to the basket more and getting to the line for easy points. Ithaca shot 0-for-18 from long range against UofR, that will have to improve. I think for the first time in a few years, the Bombers won't be the favorite to win the conference. However, as they say, "to be the best, you have to beat the best." Until Fisher can beat Ithaca when it counts(E8 tourney) it's still Ithaca's title to lose.
A 2004 graduate of the "almighty legendary" Ithaca College. Goooooo Bombers.

  She should be something. Catholic Central was promoting her as sure fired D 1. Surprised she ended up D3.

Since we are talking about freshman in the Empire 8, Amy Smith of Ithaca is another great freshman guard out of Dover, NH. She was a multi-sport star in high school, and lead her team to two NH state championships, including one as a freshman. While she will battle for time this year and mostly learn the ropes, the Ithaca program picked up a great player. She is a future All-Conference player and a name that will be mentioned on the national scene before all is said and done. This is a great recruiting coup for Bombers.

Good to hear, Roy, thanks for the tip.  IC needs to restock the shelves with talent quick to avoid a drop off.  Hope this Amy Smith is as good as you say.

Looking at the Ithaca box scores, Amy Smith is barely playing. 

Whitney Frament of Utica, now there's a freshman making an impact!  Once Utica starts getting Ava Thomas the touches she needs those two should make quite a combo.

Does anyone think that Utica can step up and win the conference tournament and possibly make some noise nationally?

I would love to see that.  I expect Utica to definitely make the conference tourny, but I think Fisher is too strong this year.  Utica is still a very young team.  They should be strong the next few years.
