SWSiouxMN Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 Team continues to make solid progress and has a home game against Kansas City for a chance to finish the first half of the conference season at 6-3. Nice to see Orth have a good game after a couple of tough ones. They held ORU to 22% shooting and 34 points scoring. I went back and looked at the last 4 years of stats, but this was the lowest points that UND has given up to a Division 1 team. 2 Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 Oh and if this team manages to finish 3rd in the conference this year, Bernhard should be Coach of the Year. 2 Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 So I haven’t followed the women’s team real closely since the D2 days but what changed from last year with this team? Like this seems like a DRAMATIC difference from last year. Quote

Coming into the year I didn’t think Bernhard would have been coAch of the year in North Dakota much less the conference Quote

Just to name a few (others have mentioned this as well) The team is Healthy for starters (compared to last year) Kacie Borowicz playing at an 1st team All-Summit Level Melissa Leet has taken several steps forward on both ends of the court. Addition of Daninger who can do a little bit of everything off of the bench. Quote

Bolded one is the biggest reason IMO plus the players have bought into team defense.......not the first team to 90 points wins like a couple years ago. Quote
sioux24/7 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Good to hear. I plan on going to my first women’s game, when they host USD, since the Kimbrough days! Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Women’s basketball is a thing at UND again love it 2 Quote
ND-fan Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 It would be nice to get more people out to the games especially with the effort girls have been putting forth. The difference this year i believe is they had normal off year, they have Borowicz and Lane healthy, Leet is having good year, and the additions of Daninger, Davis, and Hoskins have all contributed to the team. The final thing is they are playing as team and at both ends of the court now there playing defense and their offense has improved. I also see it in coaching of these girls and look how even the assistants are involved in the games now something we didn't see as much last year. We have three really difficult games still coming with KC and next weeks rematches with South Dakota schools. This is still fun because we have come long way since last year and were still improving as team. Quote

I think she would deserve Coach of the Year if we finish as low as 5th after the two-win season last year. Quote
gfhockey Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Kaci is amazing. If we didn’t have her we wouldn’t be where we sre 2 Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 Maybe she needs to talk to her sister at the U and convince her to "come home" Although she had has a rough go of it with her back. Quote

SWSiouxMN Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 As ND Fan noted, today will be a tougher matchup with KC. However, with the way UND is playing currently, I think they will make it 6 in a row. 1 Quote

Continued strong D. Let Kacie continue to do her thing. She the only one that can consistently create off the dribble. Maggie just can't continue to go 1 for 7ish from 3 most games. She is too good of a shooter. Quote
