Offline Ladies will play LaSalle in the 8-9 game - They split two regular season games -- Winner plays Dayton #1 over all seed. Offline Thanks for the update. I recall that Dan said Amanda would return next year; but that was shortly after the injury; and plans may have changed.
A Few Thoughts/Updates
At the Rhode Island game - the Elliott sisters both started - It was announced afterwards they were leaving - Caroline was a walk-on and has completed a Degree in 2 1/2 years - Her sister also has her degree - the FIRST ladies basket at the Cooper Center was a lay-up by Caroline (her only career basket) on a pass from her sister.
Given their injury problems over the past two years - One would anticipate Halle and Annie-Pier would be leaving - both have been at DU for five years and probably have all the academic credentials they need/want - Laia also has been out of high school for five years - and could be entertaining opportunities to play professionally in Europe.
I hope Libby and Amanda will be 100% recovered from their injuries by the beginning of next season - I hope they would be among the players who utilize the fifth year for both athletics and academics.
Hats off to the Ladies for all their efforts - with all the starts/stoppages, schedule problems, and the injuries they have went through -- and to the coaching staff as well.
Re: A Few Thoughts/Updates
I didn’t see the St Joe’s game yesterday; but it appeared from the box score that the team played well enough in the first half; but amazingly did not score a point in the 3rd quarter! Again, I was just going by the game stats; but if true that is hard to believe.
