I know most everyone who posted about the women's games were putting their comments in last season's thread. Time to get this year's thread rolling...
The women beat Liberty, 70-68, at the ARC. Dani Frankin had 29 points, and no one else was in double digits scoring for the Crusaders. It was a very back and forth game, and tied until Amber Lindfors made a catch and shoot final shot with 0.8 seconds left. It was a good game. Liberty put up a struggle for the women, but they stayed in it nicely. Yes, Liberty hasn't won a game this season, but they didn't lose to equal or lesser competition. They scheduled above them to get ready for their Big South foes. They are now 0-4, but they'll win games once they get to where they aren't playing above what they can win against.
The Valpo women are now 3-2 overall, 2-0 at home, with the first home win being Monday's game against IU-Kokomo. The women definitely need to play with some more height, but they are able to run. They just need to control the turnovers. They had 19 tonight. They'll get better, but they just need to get things under control, in terms of passes and basketball IQ. They'll be ready to do some good work in the conference this season.
