Very frustrating loss in the 2nd round of the NIT to Duquesne. With Mikayla Venson injuring her foot in the game against Delaware, the Hoyas were down to a six-woman rotation. With Venson, I think they'd have pulled it out. As it was, they faced a 25-7 team that had a gameplan, stuck with it, and was able to prevail.
For the Hoyas...well, Coach Howard put it bluntly in the postgame: "We left a lot of good opportunities on the floor from free throws to layups at the rim." Soo many missed layups, and way too many points left at the charity stripe. On the other side, it took the Hoyas too long to recognize that the Dukes (Dukettes? Dames?) only had 2 shooters and they just needed to key in on them at all times. A few adjustments here and there, and the Hoyas would be moving on to yet another rematch with St. John's.
16-16 on the season, with some notable highs in addition to the expected lows. Personally, I recommend getting in on the ground floor of the bandwagon early - this program is going places.

Looks like we are building the program back up. A solid season, future looking bright!

A couple of transfers coming in next season, plus 3-time All-Big East Dorothy Adomako should be coming back from injury. Replacing Petke will be tough, and the whole senior class in general, although I think Venson may be back.
White, Venson, Morgan Smith, Adomako is a good core to build around. Improved shooting will be key, as the missed layups and free throws were killers against Duquesne. But in a reversal from the men's team, the GU women have a solid identity as a strong defensive team, so an improved offense will go a long way toward finishing in the top tier of the Big East.

If we made even half of the uncontested missed layups we would have won going away.
