Tough loss for IWU with Leyden, perhaps their best returning player 

Why so few home games on the IWU schedule -- just nine out of 25? 

Looks like a rebuilding year to me.  Lots of freshmen and sophomores, very few returning upper class women.

 I didn't realize that. I had to go back and count for myself. Yeah, 9 games.  Maybe the invites to the tournaments were too good to pass up. Just guessing.  Maybe someday they could add a women's component to the Sikma invitational, and get some top women's teams to come to Bloomington. In my deeams I guess.

 Yeah, I'd call it a rebuilding year, but Mia has all the components for another fab freshman team.  For me, the women's team will be much more interesting to watch this year than the men's team.

That's a pretty rough IWU schedule with so many away games, pretty much all of the Fall.  With a rebuilding year, this could be a tough road.  Leyden's loss is huge, for scoring and for rebounding.  With the newbies, it could be initiation by fire . . . learn fast to survive the gauntlet. 

I'm sure Mia will come up with something interesting . . . but it looks pretty tough to me.
