VERY big win today. I think a better win than URI. Played really well on both ends despite the offense being off in some spots

Under 30 sec with a 13 pt lead. Nice win for HC today.

Hugh win by HC 64-53, granted LU was missing their best player but really was a great effort. Looks like no one is going to run away with the title this year.

Heady use of most of the shot clock during last several possessions.

Key for HC was they made their free throws and shockingly dominated the boards 46-25

Lehigh "face guarded" AL according to the announcers. That didn't work. Perhaps that approach would work better on someone who is only a scorer.

Total package by AL today; pretty much 50% of total team offense. Hard to believe that Lehigh is preseason #1.

The women are now 8-5 and 2-0 in the PL after beating the first place Lehigh team. One more POW for AL?

Have been out and just saw the box score 30 and 17 for Avery - those 17 rebounds stat is amazing - she has a nose for the ball and may be the best 5’6” rebounder in the country - averaging 8 per game

Avery seventeen rebounds, three assists and two steals vs one turnover and one personal foul. That's twenty-two good things as opposed to two bad things. Scoring is a bonus.

...a 30 point "bonus" is a very nice one indeed!

Total package by AL today; pretty much 50% of total team offense. Hard to believe that Lehigh is preseason #1. Lehigh did not play well today, in fairness, they were missing their best player Hottinger & Steele just returning from injury & Kramer was basically a non factor after she was conked early in the first half. I was impressed how MM managed the bench with the foul trouble by both BPC & Allen and frankly AL had the best game of her career i think. Lehigh is better than showed/played today I do think that if HC can maintain the great D they have been playing this season (and last season for that matter) they have a legitimate shot to win the title. The bench was was pretty short today as only Ezemma & Petro got meaningful mins, although I thought Berger played great during her stint in the 1st half. That said I think it bodes well that Munt & McCormack are apparently back & healthy.

AL and AC played most of the game without slowing down. That was a good thing today. But if Munt and our top three point shooter McCormack are healthy that provides Coach with more options for a long season. Davis did not play today. She's an enigma so far but will hopefully contribute as the season progresses.

I don't know when Kit's reporting date is, but if it's this weekend his first reaction might be "What's the problem?"

Davis appeared to be in warmups, I would guess some type of injury, What would you say her upside is and who would you liken her to? Or have we seen too little to know?

I saw a bunch of her HS games that were streamed. At the time, I thought she might well have been the best of the incoming recruits - she is big, athletic, good speed up & down the floor and could play inside and out. From everything I heard, she was going to be a likely starter until her very late pre-season injury. She reminded me at the time of Brit Kiel

That said I think it bodes well that Munt & McCormack are apparently back & healthy. Agree with HC13 here. Hottinger has struggled with return from COVID and Steele is not back up to speed yet and she is the key to their pace. Kramer certainly was not herself. Lehigh is deep and dangerous. Not to be underestimated. Lehigh and Boston are the deepest and most talented teams in the league. Doesn't mean they'll win it all but I wouldn't put much on this loss for them. If AL was out and BPC was just getting back from injury, I am not sure Coach Magarity would be all that worried losing the game if that was the case. Long road. Great win today though and one to enjoy.

Can't believe what I'm reading here today. What a great win for WBB. Couldn't care less who didn't play for Lehigh. Looked to me like they had plenty of talent on the floor. I dont know who their best player is supposed to be, but their leading scorer played and Cross covered her all over the court today. A terrific defensive effort. And LaBarbera and the rest of the team were fun to watch. Great win
