I read somewhere that this win was against a top # 25 team. When was our last win vs such a highly ranked squad ? They might of been previously ranked in the Mid-Major Poll. This week (11/20) both Lehigh (19) & Bucknell (24) are ranked.

Let's hope Avery bounces back from her injury with no ill effects. She's been like the Pokey and Gumby characters over the last four years. I don't recall her missing a game.
I enjoy seeing good players reach and surpass milestones and move up the ladder in school or league career totals towards the end of their careers. (Except the wait between Yaz's 2999th and 3000th hit was interminable). Due to Covid, Avery will lose out on some milestones but it will still be fun to see her move up in the HC record books as the season goes on.

Based on her quick return, looked like she cramped

Why not? Are they considered a power conference?

Why not? Are they considered a power conference? In basketball by some but the 6 in the P-6 usually refers to the Big East not them. Don't know when our last victory over a top 25 team was but we did beat Michigan back in the day iirc.

Why not? Are they considered a power conference? www.collegeinsider.com/womens-mid-major-top-25I did not know the A-10 wasn't included - odd as they are hardly a BB power conference. NOTE: The Mid-Major Poll is made up of teams from the following conferences: America East, Atlantic Sun, Big Sky, Big South, Big West, Colonial, Horizon, Ivy, Metro Atlantic, Mid-American, Mid-Eastern, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern, Southland, Southwestern, Summit, Sun Belt, West Coast, Western Athletic.

WCC probably as major as the A-10.

So that leaves the Power 5, Big East, A 10, American, MWC and C-USA.
In terms of the current top 25 there is South Florida and Florida Gulf Coast, the rest of the ranked teams are in the top 6.
Also receiving votes- add Gonzaga and Missouri State.
