I find it hard to believe but we are now thru the mid-way point of the season. It seems like only yesterday we were brain storming ideas on raising money for our trip and now that has past and we are in the “heart” of the season.
This weekend we welcomed back the 2010 team that we had not seen in our two losses. Two big road wins!! Defensively we were just so impressive and that led to easy points in transition. We are always telling our players you have to win games at home and “steal” some on the road …this weekend was no exception. We now stand alone in 3rd place with two conference losses, with EMU & W & L right behind with three. This weekend we will travel to league leading RMC who is currently 8-1 in the O.D.A.C.
I recently checked out the NCAA rankings. Out of 441 teams BC is ranked 18th in scoring offense, 28th in steals per game, 46th in scoring margin and field goal percentage, and 47th in free throw percentage. Individually, out of 500 players, senior Jordan Burkholder leads the nation in steals at 5.2 spg. Sophomore Jessica Mullen is 7th in free throw percentage and junior Jenny Logan ranks 109th in assists. The Eagles are off to a good start both team and individually. There are still a lot of games to be played and room for improvement. Our goal is to “climb ladders, cut down nets.”
Our next home game is January 25th versus Eastern Mennonite. I hope you will be able to come out and cheer us on to a victory over our cross-town rivals.
Until next time …bleed gold, wear crimson, and go Eagles!!
