Women's Basketball Schedule released

(1/1)

Lets_Talk:
The 2014-15 YSU Women's Basketball OOC schedule has been released. Given OOC schedules from the past, this is on the weak side. It's worse than the men's OOC, and that is saying alot. And, why is the program back to playing non D1 games at home. For many, many years, the womens program NEVER played D2/D3 teams. This included when the program hit hard times in the last 2 seasons under Coach "D", plus the Hill and Martin era's. Now, this is the 2nd year in a row with 2 OOC games against non D1 opponents. One is understandable, but not 2. Ohio Valley is D2 and Oberlin is D3.

The Non D1 games began popping up again in 2012-13, when YSU played Wilmington. Last year, they played Ohio Valley and Malone, needing 2OT to beat Malone. Prior to 2012-13, the last time YSU played a Non D1 team was in the 91-92 season. That was back when YSU was an Independent, and also when there were far less schools with D1 womens basketball teams. From 92-93 through 2011-12, YSU did not play a single Non D1 team

No matter their RPI's, I like the games against PITT, KENT, Akron and RMU. Those are regional rivalries that are good to have on the schedule every season.

Bucknell and Pitt are a couple of tough opponents.
