Another fantastic season by the Lady Royals & for that...congratulations!!

As for the game itself, credit to Denison as they seemed to speed up Scranton at times & in doing so, shots were uncharacteristically rushed & missed.

Seemed that Denison's length almost made the ladies feel as though once they had any degree of daylight...shoot.

I'll be interested in Ben's assessment & thoughts.

Regardless, although it's human nature to remember the game that hurts...this group of young women were an absolute joy to watch & to see them develop & mature throughout the year & their careers.

This will sting a while but the great thing is kids are resilient & there is a fantastic core of young women that will be back to lead the charge next season.

Heads high, relax a bit & we'll be there for you again during your run next season.

Seniors...thanks for all the great memories.  ;)

What a game!

Too bad the LAX team has to leave this morning for a match Sat. at Goucher.
If I were the AD I'd have called Goucher's AD & asked for their match to be moved to Sunday & kept them in Salem for Sat's. championship.

Our daughter was one person coming out of this game a winner either way...
Undergrad degree from the UofS & MA. from NYU.
Can't wait to see their next quarterly mentioning this game.  ;D

Like 2 heavyweights going at it round for round.

Survive & advance baby!

Heard the entire mens LAX team showed up tonight.  :)

Well done ladies!!

Riley has certainly put together some very nice & informative articles that's for sure.

I know Dave likes to mention the Scranton win over Pitt didn't count for the Lady Royals in their record but it certainly counted on Pitt's schedule & record & Riley has another great article he wrote after that upset (?) back in Nov. that I encourage any basketball fan to read.

Just received a link from Scranton Athletics to watch the game.

The Royals are also having a Watch Party in DeNaples with appetizers & a cash bar.

The update also notes that those Scranton fans attending the game tomorrow will be treated to a pre-game cocktail party at Pickle's Lounge inside the Colket Center sponsored by Quandel Construction.
Again, there is a link to register.

Fun times & great memories.  ;)

Absolutely a pretty great season by all those you've mentioned.

And to think Kaci wasn't even recruited by former coach DiPillo...as with about 6 or 7 other really good Scranton area kids during his brief (thank God) tenure.

He's been at LeMoyne for 2 years now, if history holds true he'll last another 1 or 2 there before he chases another bright light somewhere in the distance.

Congratulations to the Lady Royals on another magnificent season.
Ben & his staff have done a remarkable job of weaving the various levels of talent together into one pretty  great team.
All the very best to the Lady Royals in Salem...enjoy the memories of a lifetime! :)

NEPA:

Just go to the scores section (NCAA Tournament) on this site & depending on the game, just click on video.

The Bates/Smith game was great as Bates came back from 16 down at the half.
Their (Bates) announcer is worth the time to watch as he can get a little excited.  ;D

That was one of Danzig's most requested topics at basketball clinics...
"The Joys of One & Done".

What's pretty amazing is that no starter or the the first off the bench played more than 17 minutes.
More than half the game was played by players 7 through 15.

Just hope they have enough scoring left in them for tonight.

Congratulations to Kaci moving into # 2 in the All-Time Lady Royals scoring list.  :)
