I'm back "On the Beat" with the Loyola Ramblers women's basketball team. I'll be providing recurring coverage here and on GlobalTravelerUSA.com.
The season started with a nice 59-55 win in Milwaukee. Unfortunately, the Home Opener against Green Bay wasn't successful. The Ramblers fell 55-46.
The game was a mixed bag. Down 8-5 after one quarter the Ramblers roared back in the second quarter and trailed only by one at halftime. The third quarter was a disaster though, as Green Bay thumped the Ramblers 20-5. The Ramblers did mount a big comeback in the final quarter, but they were just down too many to catch up.
After the game, I attended Coach Allison Guth's press session. She was as animated as I have ever seen. She was mad about the first and third quarters. Ever the professional, Coach Guth praised Green Bay's effort, while also acknowledging her team's comebacks.
On my way out of the arena, I ran into first year forward Nevaeh Dickman. Coming out of Indiana, Dickman was Dickman ranked as the No. 6 recruit in Indiana, the No. 104 prospect nationally, and the No. 23 power forward in her class by 247Sports. Those are pretty nice numbers. In 10 total minutes in the first two games, Dickman went 2-4 on free throws for two points, while adding one assist to her stat line. Clearly, much more will be expected from her, but it's early in the season and she is still a rookie.
