With the non-conference games complete, the women's team managed to have a winning record at 5-4. They lost to the teams they were "expected" to lose to (UA, Utah, Gonzaga, and GT), beat the two they were expected to (Cal Baptist, Benedictine, and UVU), and won the won the two games that might have gone either way (Kennesaw and Pepperdine).
The strengths of the team are what we probably all thought they were: balanced scoring, ball movement, and experienced leadership. The weaknesses seem to be mostly injury related - with Irene and Montana (and Dora) out, the bench is thinner than planned. But Maddie and Callie have worked into the line up well.
Now the three-week break before the first league game looks a bit better. It will be a time to get healthy and install any wrinkles for the league season.
