Congratulations to George Fox!  You now have fans in Virginia!  Best of luck as you continue your journey to the Perfect Season! 
It's been a great four years, UMW Seniors!  Happily, I'm not done seeing you, just watching you play.  You will always be 'The Freshmen' to me. 30-1 ain't nothing to complain about.  The new facilities have been well broken in so the teams in the future have an inspiration. 
Love to you all!!!

Heartstopping is right!!  I'm almost glad I wasn't there.  I would have been passed out between the bleachers with that ending!  Go Eagles!!!!! 

Thanks Brookland!  Now the ladies have another step to take. Past Messiah to the Sweet Sixteen. I wish them the best!!  You are right, Coach Applebury has not stars. The team is the star!!
My love and support to the UMW Eagles tonight!!

If I understand the rules of All Conference players, they have to be nominated.  By their coach?  Coach Applebury is a fabulous coach, but I don't think she'd nominate everybody on the team.  Not her style.  Her style of not letting players play 40 minutes has been most successful.  I don't doubt that if you ask her players (present and past) if they'd rather win and play in the NCAA Tournament or make all conference team they would rather win.

UMW went undefeated all the way through the conference championship this year. It's not the first year she has had an undefeated regular season.  The success of the program speaks for itself.  Jenna and Katie are phenomenal players and human beings.  Wanna bet they are OK with this?  Those girls know there is no 'i' in team. (sorry....just had to throw that old saying in there).

Congratulations to the UMW Eagles for a fabulous season (so far)   Mama will be watching you this weekend, even if I can't be there.  I so enjoyed the game on Saturday!!! Love you all!!!

Marymount names a new coach! Congratulations to Coach Courter and welcome home!

I expect that York will improve next year.  With the loss of only one senior, the younger group has had valuable experience this year and most have played significant minutes.

UMW graduates three on Saturday.  Of the nine that remain, five will be juniors and four will be sophomores. They will return the 2009 AND 2010 Rookies of the Year.  I expect them to do well.

Wesley had a breakout season and graduates one.

Can't wait to see what the new season will bring. I know it's early, but this is the time when the players should work their fannies off in preparation for the fall. It'll show if they goof off............always does.

Any word on finding a successor  for Coach Finney at Marymount?  He has had a fabulous career and will be difficult to replace. His program is a strong one and I'm excited to see who inherits it!

What about any potential new life in the CAC in the form of new recruits?

   

 

And I wholeheartedly agree with you, Kate.  These folks don't do it to get rich. Like D3 Players and coaches, they do it for the love of the game.

I was told once by an official that there are THREE games going on at the same time:
1-the coaches see
2-the spectators see
3-the officials see and that's the one that they make the calls on

96% of them anyway.

b-ball, you are right about one thing. We all have opinions.

However, you are wrong about Big-Mac being the only one who complains about certain officials.  He just happens to have the courage to speak his mind in a public forum.    

Sorry Big Mac.....I should have spoken up before.  You should know you are not alone. Not by a long shot!!!

Best of luck to the CAC representatives in the NCAA tournament!

I know you will play with everything in you. 

Give it all you got ladies!

Congrats UMW on advancing to the next round!!
Great defensive game and it looks like the shooting was HOT!!

Good job!!

Congratulations to Marymount and UMW for making it to the tournament!
How thrilling it is for these young ladies and their families. Make the most of it!!
Best of luck to you all!

Maybe I've just missed it in the 500 plus games I've been to, but I've never seen an official whooping it up with ANYBODY.

Wouldn't that be inappropriate?

Congratulations to Marymount!  It was a great game.
