I guess this team is not for real...very poor start in the PSAC..both McQuade and Starr bombed. Of course it was expected that they would go after McQuade. BUT KU should have went after their best player too. Too bad the turnovers are back..hope it doesn't keep up like this. Maybe they'll do better tomorrow! was hoping they could pull this one off. same records and all ..same with the guys.

I wouldn't be so quick to give up on this team. Sure they are young and certainly not playing perfect basketball, but who is? Gannon is a good basketball school (notice the men also got smoked), and while I did expect more from our ladies, I'm not totally surprised that Gannon came out ahead. KU, along with the rest of the East, generally does struggle against the West and the addition of Mercyhurst and Gannon is not going to make it any easier.

I don't know what it is, but there never seems to be a shortage of basketball talent out in western PA. Of course, that isn't all bad. Ms. McQuade is from Pittsburgh.

Why is Lara still out of the starting line-up??? I realize she was hurt, but she seems to be back full strength. its ashame for her to lose her starting position as a senior...

The last I heard from Coach Malouf was that both Vivian and Lara are not quite back to 100% and will be brought along slowly off the bench.

Meredith Starr has done a nice job as the starting point guard, but she has struggled as of late, which means Dellegrotti could get more time at the point. Meanwhile, Dovey has done a nice job as a starter, so expect the carousal to continue regardless of who is starting.
