xAC, I am off the dump the coach bus now. There is a premium being placed on the defensive end and much better blocking out on the glass. The pieces of the team are playing positive roles. Ali is the number one option on offense and they are getting better with the entry passes. Our team is missing Perea now and she is missed, buyt the coaches have rotated in Luma, Taiwo and Blethen along with Brown. To cover the paint. I have to say that this was the most complete and positive game I have seen from Taiwo. Luma continues to hit big midrange jumpers at key times. Our backcourt is about as good as we have had at GW in a while. Whitney is working well with Gingras and Loder. Nikitinaite, Brown and, thank our stars, Blethen are hitting from 3!!!
The defensive pressure in the half court is special. The women will disguise the defense as the opponents are bringing the ball up the court.
Along with fewer unadvised passes, the team is also not forcing up lame attempts after offensive boards. They are doing the smart thing of kick it out to reset the offense. All of these improvements are giving the Colonial Women a chance to make it to the end of the game with a lead
