UAA dominating again at 13-1 overall, SPU also at 13-1.
Is UAA fully funded scholarship-wise? What's the key up there? Young coach who knows what he's doing, obviously. WWU has been historically good in women's hoops.
When I was in school back in the dark ages, Western Oregon was a dominant NAIA power. Led by great coach (also later our last good A.D., and an assistant football coach) Jon Carey, the Wolves won 25 games a year, went to nationals and often won games at nationals. In the 1990's they won two NAIA D-II national titles under a different coach, Rusty Rogers. Since then? It's been an unmitigated disaster. One year I think they went winless.
This year's coach I think is in her third year, she needs time to build it, though that's moving slowly. I'm guessing her program has the WOU curse: lack of scholarships. Just a hunch, I don't know what she has to work with.
I do know this is the last 9 years of WOU women's hoop: 6-8 this year, 2-5 in league; 4-24/3-17; 8-18/5-13; 6-20/3-15; 8-20/3-15; 7-21/6-12; 11-16/9-9; 11-19/6-10; 11-19; 6-10.
When your high-water mark is 11 wins in the last decade, perhaps its time to see what's going on in WOU women's hoops? Recent WOU loss to marginal Concordia team last night.
