With all the attention being paid to the guys, we should all remember that the women are rated in the top 10, have ten players returning and only lost one starter to graduation. I believe there are 7 Mickey D's on the squad, including two freshmen, one being Anthony Epps' daughter.
The girls start their season on the road Friday with two games next weekend in NY. I'm really looking forward to watching them play as much as possible. Let's get behind them and keep up with their progress on the board.
This young lady will have to sit out the year due to an blood clot in her lungs. Kyvin Goodin-Rogers played at Marion County with Makayla Epps.

I really enjoy watching them play! They leave it all on the floor for every game. I think all they have lacked is some size, and I think they are starting to get that fixed!!!

I would hate to be an opposing PG against them this year. They finally added a new rule needed for a long time - 10 seconds to cross the half court line. The way the women pressure defend, it will be a long night for some teams.

The way the women pressure defend, it will be a long night for some teams. wasn't aware of that. that rule will benefit our girls more than any other squad in the country me thinks. maybe this can be there breakthrough year and get over the elite 8 hump! final four for both the hoops squads this year! |

The way the women pressure defend, it will be a long night for some teams. I agree. The absence of such a rule was really unfair to the defender. I don't know how much contact will be allowed this year in the women's game , but the 10 sec. rule absolutely helps us & maybe more than any other club in the country. The key to this team climbing to a higher level this year? It HAS to have consistently better shooting; 7-8 minute scoring droughts have cost these girls dearly in the past. If they can become a better offensive team, they should be in position to make a run to the final four. |

Mathies' outside shooting will be sorely missed but both freshman are capable of putting up big numbers. O'Neil and Thompson are having a great battle for the PG position and with 10 returning players with another year of experience, I think they will be a very, very good team. |
