Posted November 22, 20213 yr They're off to a good start. Play #15 Oregon State this Saturday. The program's wheels seem to have fallen off a bit. Hopefully they can begin turning it around this year.
November 23, 20213 yr I watched them play against Syracuse and they looked a lot better then last year. Having Olivia Miles at point guard really helps huge. She keeps the offense moving at an uptempo pace. For a freshman you can’t get a better point guard. Then the addition of forward Maya Dodson transfer from Standard is a huge plus. She is second on the team in rebounding and third on the team in scoring. And the other freshman guard Sonia Citron is no slouch either. She’s 5th on the team in scoring and 3rd in rebounding. That’s what driving the improved play. The future is looking up too with Mandy Westbeld a sophomore forward, is the leading scorer and rebounder. It really killed the program when we lost our five starters to the pros two seasons ago. They weren’t in the top 25 to start the season but I am very hopeful that by season end they will be there.

November 28, 20213 yr Too bad Brunelle is always hurt. At a lighter weight I was hoping she was going to have a great year. She’s a versatile player and a very good shooter. Still might, but it seems like she’s always got some kind of health issue.

February 2, 20223 yr Yes big win. I saw a clip where Tom Brady spoke to the womens basketball team (over the phone) during the week at practice (I believe ). Not sure what that was all about. Pretty cool though. Maybe it inspired them 😂

February 18, 20223 yr The woman’s tournament seating is looking good. Maybe they will even play at ND. Sounds like program is back after a couple of years 🤗 https://notredame.rivals.com/news/dara-mabrey-re-emerges-as-notre-dame-passes-critical-road-test-in-ot
February 27, 20223 yr The girls laid a massive egg today on a big stage. We only ended up losing by 20 or so, but at the end of the1st quarter I think it was 35-3 - yes 3. I am going to chalk this up to a relatively young coach/team not being mentally prepared for such a big game.

On national tv too….that 1Q was SHOCKING!….I haven’t watched a lot of women’s bball this year but I thought it was becoming more competitive with more schools fielding good teams. But after that first quarter i wonder if there still is a great disparity. ND was supposed to have a top 25 team.

I am going to chalk this up to a relatively young coach/team not being mentally prepared for such a big game. 31-3 after 1 quarter. 54-15 at halftime. 86-64 at the end, but I'm guessing that the Louisville bench saw plenty of action in the second half. ND-Louisville box score Looks like this team still has a looonnnggg way to go. I don't remember a team only scoring 3 points in a quarter. Sounds like a game of 1st graders, to be honest.
