PSAC WBasketballB

[IUPbigINDIANS]

After this week’s results, it’s pretty clear that there’s IUP, Gannon, and then everyone else. Seton Hill, Edinboro, or even Cal could knock off IUP or Gannon on a given night, but there’s a visible gap there between the top two and the others. The top team in the East would probably finish fourth in the West and that’s not disrespecting the teams on that side. The West is just that strong this year.

The Cal women ... that's one strange bird this year.

They either play fairly well ... or get shallacked.


IUP's bench is so deep. He's bringing in subs that would start at most other schools. They are fun to watch.

There's a reason they are drawing better at the KCAC than Joe's team (regardless of what the box scores say).

Have to give credit to Shepherd, who is making a charge for the PSAC Tourney! They have found their footing offensively, and have won 5 of their last 7 to threaten West Chester for the 6th seed. They also have 6 games left, including the Golden Rams. They have work to do, but I feel they will be a tough foe in the playoffs.

After one of the least successful women's basketball seasons in history, long-time Ship coach Kristy Trn apparently decided it was time to go out and get some height for next season. The Raiders recently announced their recruiting class and will be bringing in two 6-1 forwards, Lilly Gerwert from Bellwood-Antis High School near Altoona, and Jane Moreland of Winchester, Va., Millbrook. The featured player of the class is 5-10 g/f Alainah McKavish, who scored more than 2,200 points in high school at Clarke County HS in Berryville, Va. McKavish's father played football at Slippery Rock and her mother played basketball at The Rock and is in the school's Hall of Fame. They'll all be first-year students next year and no doubt will have a break-in period, but if they can mesh with a couple of Ship veterans who sat out the season injured last year, the Raiders could be considerably improved in the coming season. There really is no way to go but up after last season.
