Facts.

I looked her up again. She averaged a double-double in her UM career, and was the A-10 DPOY in 2002-03.

She got drafted into the WNBA but I don't think she ended up sticking and playing with a team.

She led the nation in rebounds 2002-2003;
14.6 or 14.7 depending on source.

Gals lead 27 - 17 after 1 period. Double duty tonight. Got the gals on my computer monitor and the guys on TV CBS sports.

Still lead 43 - 31 at the half.

Lead after 3 periods 66 - 47.

Final score is 87 - 62.

Another solid win 10-6 in A10 play

Maybe the key point for readers here is that how much fun this team is to watch.

Totally agree. I even thought they showed good hustle last season and played exciting ball despite not winning many games, This year just takes that to the next level with the addition of so much talent. It's been wonderful to see how the team has grown and improved together. The URI game should be really competitive and exciting. I hope as many turn out as they can to see some great basketball.

Guaranteed at least one bye in A10 tournament. Outside shot of double bye.

Agree on this team being fun to watch.

There is a chance the A10 is a two-bid league this year. Likely if someone other than Richmond wins the tournament. Assuming it is not UMass, I think if UMass can win out and win at least one in Richmond, a WNIT bid is not out of the question.

Probably the biggest game of the year for Minutewomen today, and it's senior day, beautiful weather, hope they get a decent crowd today.

Neither team shooting well but we lead 8 - 6 after 1 period.

We lead at the half 21 - 20.

Wow. What a half. We lead 21-20. Both teams playing hard, physical ball. Great game so far.

I have a feeling McKayle will have a great 2nd half. She struggled earlier in this game
