All right, our heroines are definitely better, in particular, Jordan Obi and Mandy McGurk are both much improved over last year, Frosh Simone Sawyer is already starting at small forward, and transfer Floor Toonders is a defensive and rebounding machine (albeit not very good on offense yet.) I still think they were a bit lucky against Columbia; however, it is also true that the improvement has come with Kayla Padilla not quite up to her usual level of play (I think her knee is bothering her a little.) So today, we go into the cavern of sin to start finding out what they're really made of. So far it's 10-all halfway through the first quarter, and both sides have been a touch sloppy.

All right, sorry for the lack of reporting, but I saw Howard Gensler for the first time in a while and was chatting with him, and you didn't miss much anyway. The defense actually did do pretty well, holding the Tigers to 55, but we only got 40 ourselves, and a good chunk of that was against the second string at the end. McGurk reverted to the incompetence of the previous 3 years, Obi was double teamed every time she touched the ball, and someone was in Padilla's shorts the whole game and she just couldn't get open; she was also wearing a more serious knee brace than last time, so I think that confirms that she's not 100%. Once again, we can't move the ball against a team playing a tough man. Well, we'll see how we do against Harvard and Yale coming up here shortly, but right now, that Columbia game is looking a bit more like a fluke than anything else.
