Catching Up....

Things didn't go as planned in our first ever NCAA appearance. We lost to perennial powerhouse Rutgers with a score of 57-51. Overall our season was one to remember and a school best. We have much to improve on and really have to build on where we left off. Trust me the future is bright. The season is finally over. Do I want it to be over? No, but it is. This finally gives a chance to catch up on some school work and have a short break though. I'm behind in just about every class right now?!?! It’s crazy. Freshman year is just about wrapping up for me its crunch time baby. Right now I can just focus on my studies and work on individual basketball things to get me ready for next year, for I’m sure my role will change and like Spiderman once said “with great powers come even greater responsibilities.”

Putting On My Dancing Shoes!!!!

We are headed to the NCAAW basketball tournament for the first time ever in Virginia Commonwealth women’s basketball history and also marks the first time ever that both of VCU’s basketball teams have went to the big dance in the same year.. With an overall record of 26-6, an rpi of 32 and strength of schedule of 91, we handed in our resume and ended up with an at large bid in the NCAA women’s tournament. Settling in as a ten seed which isn’t shabby at all, for we didn’t even win our regular season conference or the CAA tournament which slipped right out of our hands, we are leaving for Piscataway, N.J. to take on the seventh-seeded Scarlet Knights of Rutgers University with an overall record of 19-12 on Saturday at 2:00pm. Rutgers is a VERY talented team and has a no nonsense coach in Vivian Stringer but I like our chances, and am glad we were invited. Please look out for us in wish us well!

Going Home with The Team!

Today the woman's basketball team is flying out to Atlanta, Georgia. We play Georgia State University Wednesday night which is a BIG game for us. Being in second place we could afford to lose and still hold on to our #2 seed, but whenever we play Georgia State it’s always a dog fight, so we must come prepared and leave with a victory. On Tuesday we are going to have dinner at my house and I’m really excited!!! I can't wait to see all my family and friends and introduce them to my new team. My high school coach is going to be there also, and I can't wait to show him how much I've changed physically, i have some "GUNS" now. Going back to Georgia is something I'm looking forward to. This trip is going bring forth more fond memories and hopefully more team bonding. Our plane is leaving this morning and we won’t be back until Thursday afternoon, see you then and wish us good luck!
