HC outscored 13-8 in the 2nd quarter. HC trails 27-22...making it look like the HC/Lehigh games could be brutal.

The good news is I think it is near impossible to play this bad in the 2nd half Navy 27-22

Navy, 27-22, at the half. After a strong start, Swords went cold from the field, finishing with a brick off the boards in close.

I wonder how long they'll play it. Navy is making the game slow, slow, slow and zone doesn't do anything to speed it up, unless you trap a lot.

Those inside shots gave HC The early lead and the later misses of the same type of shot now have HC trailing by 5.

If anyone thinks this HC team is ready to play, then you're watching a different game - only b/c Navy is very average are we still within 5 at the half Simply put, I'm not impressed - this 'must' be a win but it looks like we'll need all 40 minutes

Despite their significant size advantage, HC did a poor job on the defensive boards, just 65%. Very sluggish defensively in both m2m and zone.

Navy shooting just 33% but took 15 of their 27 shots from deep, and hit five of them. We are two steps slow on every ball reversal it seems

Taylor has 6 rebounds for Navy. She is only 5'6" but fights underneath.

We are two steps slow on every ball reversal it seems There are some similarities to the men's team when you think about it. Little depth, especially up front, one regular not playing, one big never gets off the bench, one out for the season (or close to it).

Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on with Faulkner ? play some, then sit a game or two - her situation is puzzling Also, our captain Smith is out-of-sorts these last two games - 1 pt vs Loyola and scoreless today - cannot get her shot off, and missed two ft's badly in the 2nd qtr - I'd say we need some senior leadership to come back here

Manis just 2-8 from the field, but did grab six rebounds - I have her at 995 career boards now.

Morris a feisty little defender, but pretty much a cipher offensively - on the season she's got 5 points (on 1-11 shooting), 11 PFs, 9 TOs.

Now 0-4 from the line. Not a good showing.

Swords starts 0 for 2 from the line (0 of 4 for the game).

Jaunich left all alone at the top of the circle drains her fourth three.

Jaunich hit only 1 3 pointer until today (1 of 9). She is 4 of 7 on 3s today.

Quick hands by Manis on defense causes the Navy TO, then LaBarbera nothing but net on a three to knot it up at 30.

Navy consistently successful penetrating and kicking to open shooters near the arc. Middies 7-19 from deep, and have taken 60% of their shots from there.
Still, HC, 36-35, 3:45 to go in 3rd.

Navy on a revenge tour after getting embarrassed by Lehigh. This is a heck of a game. Good ballhandling in traffic by Norris recently and good decision making by Pedi on when to shoot the three and when to pass.
