 Scranton WBB announces Meghan Nowak(Eastern U All-American-2015) as fulltime assistant. I'm hoping she has some playing eligibility left ;). Check the web site for the full announcement.

Finally got her.......just four years too late.
From what I've recently heard, the Lady Royals are light years ahead of where they were at this point last year...both physically and basketball wise.

Heard some confirmation about the physical improvement a few weeks ago but it was before preseason practice started so I can't confirm the bball improvement. Good scrimmage opponents soon should provide that test. Squad picture is now on their twitter site. Looks like everyone that could return, has, and there are 5 expected newcomers. Hopefully, the roster details will be posted soon in case my eyesight is deficient.

 Roster is up; 1 additional(to the 5 I expected) newcomer from Prep; 1(Jenna Pasquale) did not return from last season.

I believe the young lady you are referencing from Prep has a pretty famous dad.
Andy Ashby played in the Major leagues for many years...met his wife while playing for AAA Scranton when they were a Phillies affiliate.
The Lady Royals also have two other players on the roster whose dad's played in the NFL.

Preseason poll is out; Royals r 16th in others receiving votes. They scrimmage #5 NYU Saturday. Don't think there will be 40 teams ahead of them in the poll by the end of the season.

HonestAbe

With Catholic ranked 16 in the preseason poll and both Scranton and Moravian receiving votes this could be an interesting year in the Landmark.

Did anyone hear how Scranton's scrimmage against NYU went on Saturday?

ronk

 Haven't heard about the scrimmage yet. I'd put Scranton, E-town, and Susque(last season's playoff teams) ahead of Moravian.

Moravian has Alexis Wright back for a second senior season (medical hardship year). Does that change your opinion?

Moravian got a big, unexpected, boost when Alexis Wright returned for a fifth season. She would have been one of the best players in the region last year but missed her senior season due to injury. Everyone figured she would graduate but she is doing a year of graduate study at Moravian and using her medical red shirt.

Speaking of Alexis, we released our All-American team this morning...

Yes, it would; I'd put them ahead of Susque now and even with Catholic, Scranton, and E-town. Looks like an interesting conference race.

Thanks, Juan -- we compile a report directly out of our database and all the voters will see it when the next poll comes around.
