WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[Green Beer]

Notable departure for the Titans, Maddy Sears 6' 2" sophomore no longer on the roster.  Out with an injury much of her freshman year. I don't know any details

Another recent change on the Titan roster, Liv Meyers, 5'11", is no longer listed as a player but as a student manager. She saw limited playing time in the last 3 years.

Preseason coaches poll came out late last week.

Not a surprise that IWU was heavily favored to win. But you can imagine how giddy I am to see NCC picked to finish 2nd.

Now there can be great speculation about which coach decided not to vote IWU No. 1.

I've still got Carroll 2nd, but I fully understand why NCC was voted #2.

My reasoning is NCC won 0.538 against a not great Strength of Schedule last year 0.505.

They do return a lot, 86.2%, but in my experience mediocre teams that return a lot don't usually take a large step forward. Most often they remain mediocre. 

But definitely not all do!

You're not taking into account the overall mediocrity of the conference. Perhaps the most disheartening thing about North Park being bad the past few seasons is that the Park's been bad at a time when the league as a whole has not been good.
