Great win! What's impressive to me is how the best players have stuck with the program and are setting the standard.

couldn't watch but obviously this was one of the best wins in a LONG time, given what's happened over the recent past. Hope they can somehow win the championship.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

In spite of the defections, they had a nice tourney run. Something to build upon moving towards next season.

The future is bright for the program. Ang came up big and showed why she was New Hampshire Gatorade Player of the year in her senior year of high school. I think she played herself into a nice role for next year if she can keep it up.

We only lose Sims who IMO was not great for the program. If she didn't travel because of internal team issues, it means that she was not a good leader or captain as she was deemed at fault for something since she was off concussion protocol I believe. Tory has a very low tolerance for BS in general but I would trust him to make the right call.

Destiney just continues to improve and I would like for her to cut down on those turnovers for next year which almost averaged 4 per game. She did a great job of not doing too much and trusting her teammates (i.e. with those almost 7.0 APG).

Ber'Nyah was better than advertised and I would never have thought that Sid could fill in Hailey's shoes so well. Having up to 4 options at least will help us go further next year.

We punched well above our weight in the tournament -- while I am sad we will not be going to NCAAW tournament, I think this season was an overwhelming success.

As far as I know, all 7 players are returning. Couple that with 4 signed recruits, including a 6'4 center that Verdi raved about and we have a good nucleus.

Congrats to the women. They played hard and fatigue was bound to happen at some point. They were in it for 37 minutes and just couldn't hold on. I hope they make the WNIT. They deserve it.

The Ladies have provided us with a great tv/streaming season. Every game was fun to watch. I fully expect a WNIT bid.

Sims did not travel because she was still in concussion protocol.

Don't think that we will make it to the tournament but there is a possibility that we could be picked for the women's NIT.

Winning 2/3rds of your schedule is a great accomplishment, especially with what this team had to go through this year. They absolutely deserve the chance to keep playing. Hopefully next season when fans return they'll be supported in the stands.
