The Women don't shoot very well, but I think they have picked up their defense, and seem to have a more athletic team. Baendu Lowenthall makes them quite athletic up front. And with Candice Linday coming on those two are the most athletic forward combos that we have had at Fairfield.

Seniors Murphy and Faurote are playing solid, and of course Sabra Wrice is the key, as she can be very good at times.

I like Lowenthal's decision amking with the ball. She sees the court well and usually makes the right pass. Long arms and big hands.

Caskin is very fast. I hope she develops as a player.

Are Lindsay's knees bothering her. She looks like she walks gingerly but then makes an athletic play. ????
