Lost some good seniors but still return Dunn, Olson, Peters and Chickwe along with the 2 transfers who sat out last year also going to play a big role. Also much deeper this year with more younger players able to step up and play. Should be a top 5 finish in the conference!

Open the season Tuesday night!
-
1-0! Chelsea Olson with a TRIPLE DOUBLE! Amazing feat for an amazing player, congrats!
-
Impressive performance with so many first-time players! Loved the ball movement and how seven different players hit a 3-point shot. Kent beat Green Bay in Wisconsin in the WNIT last season, and they basically blew us off the court at their place last year. Our performance on Saturday will tell us much about the potential of our team this season.
-
Two of the new girls played great. one was a transfer who sat out last season and the other was injured last year. Canisius was double teaming Dunn in the post so she had to hit the open spot up shooter. They look like they're going to be fun to watch this season.
-
If the freshman keep developing, it could be a fun year. Saturday will be a nice test.
-
Both Mary Dunn and Emma are hurt and out several weeks. Big losses for the ladies.
-
The 14 players on the roster have now been reduced to just 10 healthy bodies. 3 of the 4 that are 6 feet plus are out, leaving only a true freshman to combat the other teams' veteran bigs. No program can withstand this. What started as a promising season has now morphed into a development year for the freshmen. We should be very good again next year; wish I could say the same thing for the football team.

Did you go to the game Saturday? You didn't see enough from freshman, redshirt freshman and returning players thumping the #6 team in the country to have some optomism for next year's FB team? There isn''t a team in the MVFC that wouldn't be looking to 3-4 years of Houk and Waid. Reed is the best pass rushing DE I've seen at YSU and a couple years ago we had both DE's drafted in the NFL.

Are any of the 6 footers expected to return this season?
-
Chikwe, a rebounding machine, is still suffering from the effects of a concussion and is unlikely to play again. Backup center, VanZanten, broke a bone in her foot in late November with a 6-8 week expected recovery timetable. The big loss is all-conference center, Dunn, who had knee surgery after also going down in late November. Supposedly, she is the nearest to returning. However, the way Dunn and VanZanten are still walking around the gym with slight limps, I have my doubts either will be able to run the court anytime soon.

Credit to the ladies who have hung in there battling while the bigs are out.

Thanks for the update

Just when you thought it could not possibly get any worse. Last night freshman guard, Petit, left the game early in what looks to be a serious injury. She would have been a strong candidate for freshman of the year honors. If healthy, our fourteen players would have been the best team in this league. Now, our nine players that remain standing are in a battle for survival. Really is a shame.
-
I was afraid of that when I looked at the box score last night and noticed she only played 12 minutes. Is Wagner also hurt?
-
Wagner, an incoming freshman, suffered a season-ending leg injury during summer workouts. Barnes said in a radio interview that she would have started. A probable starting lineup would have been Dunn and Chikwe at forwards, Olson, Peters, and Wagner at guards, with VanZanten the first big off the bench and Petit the first guard. That seven person rotation is now in shatters, as only Olson and Peters remain as of last night.

The game at Wright State was really bad. Loosing by 50! Watched the first half and switched to the men's game so not sure if Wright State kept the starters in all game and tried to run up the score or what. One issue for me is just how many players we loose each year to injuries. Fortunately last year we kept our 7 or 8 healthy, but many years we loose more that just 1 or 2 players. What about the other women's teams in the league; how many do they loose? Is our practice and preseason prep up to standard and or too difficult for women players? We are in trouble now with yet another starter, Makenah, down for a while.

Womens injuries are common but the AD should be asking himself if the department has the staff in place. AKA the strength and conditioning staff. These injuries have to impact $$$ the department.

I have never seen anything like this. Nearly half the team now incapacitated with injuries (6 out of 14.) All six either starters or members of a projected pre-season rotation. You guys are right. The staff and the training techniques must be evaluated. Yes, female athletes are more susceptible to injuries than their male counterparts, but this is ridiculous.
