Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, November 02, 2006

In other action last night, Michigan took advantage of having 6-6 freshman Krista Phillips in a close 64-62 win over Athletes in Action.

Sophomore Lindsey Nyenhuis looks to be recovered from last season's injury as she connected on 6 three point attempts as Iowa rolled 88-55 over Northern State.

UWGB had no problem with the Wisconsin AAU All-Stars in a 94-59 victory. Reigning conference player of the year Nicole Soulis only played 8 minutes, but sophomore Rachel Porath hit 8 of 9 from the field and finished with 18 points.

Sylvia Fowles and a balanced offensive attack helped LSU cruise to a 90-47 win over NAIA Loyola. But Coach Chatman wants her team more disciplined in their defensive attack.

The Huskies of UW forced 32 turnovers and cruised to a 111-57 over the University of Regina."We were able to wear them down, and that's exciting," coach June Daugherty said. "That's part of what we're about, getting our defense aggressive, getting after it on the glass and get running."
