There is no reason at all that Maryland should be pressing Agree based on the score. But they have to get their team ready also so I think anything goes in the first half for any team. If MD presses in the 2nd half, then that is not very sportsman-like. I doubt highly MD presses in the 2nd half unless we make a significant run and the coach wants her team's attention. If I were Maryland, I would be more worried about fresh legs. I suspect the second half will be different

Just to keep perspective......preseason we are talking about where we fit in the league with Avery graduating. Now we are league champs and talking about how we are playing against one of the best teams in the country in the NCAA tourney. It's been quite a ride this season.

Lauren Manis' name spelled like the 61 home run hitter Roger Maris by ESPN News.

Foreman and Flanagan are going to be a problem for PL coaches the next 3 years.

Two hour broadcast. Three plays called by the announcers. Great turtle talk however.🙂

It seemed to me that HC was very slow in retrieving loose balls and rebounds.

Maryland is impressive. Expect HC will value the learning experience and work hard to get back.

HC clears the bench. Great for the kids. M.E. Donnelly making a case for next year.

I guess Massey's 30 point spread was pretty accurate. HC had some offense, after the 1st Q, but Maryland was simply too talented, too fast and too tall for HC to stop. HC's second half was clearly much better. I am looking forward to seeing next year's squad and how playing time will shake out with another off-season of development.

Hopefully, they get to fly home I thought of that but wondered what would the Yankee bus and driver do? Maybe they drove home yesterday, saving HC a buck or two.

I feel the opposite. Hope they have a last bus ride together. It's a drive but they'll remember being together for a lifetime.

I think the male announcer mentioned that the ride down took 8 hours when it was supposed to take 4. I don't want to ride with a driver who could make it in 4 hours!

I'm looking forward to Donnelly and Foreman making a leap. Munt is a question mark. She may adjust her off season training after watching classmate Berger Blossom after her off season program last summer. HC was under-injured this year but could always suffer the opposite next year giving many players an opportunity to be in the rotation.

Foreman led with 13. Donnelly had 10. Both played very confidently

Every year the PL champions lose in the 1st round by 30 points. So in order to compete in the NCAA’s, a PL team would somehow have to over-recruit(not likely)and build a team that would win every conference game and every regional OOC game by 30-40 points. That doesn’t sound like much fun either.

Eight hour bus ride for a swag bag and a thumping. Let's do it again next year! I think this game will "inform" everything the returning players and coaches do for the next twelve months. An experience that can't be duplicated in meetings or practices without actually playing in the tournament.
Heads up in practice next year, passes are going to be quick and crisp.
