Re: RE: Valpo Preview and UC women's hoops note

[Joe Feeley]

I am with you on the Micah comments. The team already clicks better
with her in the game. She is someone you notice right away when she
is on the court. There are a couple of other newcomers that look good
too. No longer are there 3 good players and 2 others who you hope
don't mess up on the court at once. The team should be poised to make
a run this year, with almost everyone coming back next year.

They are fun to watch. I recommend hanging out after the XU game.
