This is some very good news from the practice that Carly and Tania are healthy and ready to go following thier injuries. Also Amanda Ollinger is really stepping up. She will be needed a lot more this year without as much depth at forward so that’s great! The season opener will be on November 10 against Quinnipiac.

Thanks for posting Clinton. Quinnipiac was very good last year. Should be a tuff game. Oddly we lost some ladies but it sounds like the rest are stepping up. If Amanda plays to her potential she will be huge for the Hawks. Very nice to hear Tania and Carly will be ready. My season tickets are supposed to be hear this week so I'll be ready to head to Carver. Go Hawks!

whats the realistic expectations for this year?

I would think at least top 5. I'm hoping for top 3. Maryland, OSU, MSU, Purdue and Michigan is all going to be tuff.

In my opinion.........ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Yes I really believe they will most definitely be playing in the NCAA Tournament this year. The Lady Hawks were ever so close last year and in my opinion should of been playing in the tournament. They beat several teams that got in ahead of them. It was kind of a head scratcher. The close games they lost last year should turn into wins this year. There's a lot of experience and maturity this year that will be a huge factor.

The starting 5 is likely to by Davis, Doyle, Meyer, Coley, and Gustafson, this Sevillian, Ollinger, Mohns and Stewert getting a lot of minutes in the rotation. The size up front, and versatility in the back court will be strengths of this team.
