A lot of people, including some around our own water cooler, saw UB having a slight rebuilding year this season. Nobody predicted a “bad” year, just that there might be a slight bit of falloff because of graduation.
That talk got a wee bit louder when Summer Hemphill was lost for the fall.
But the Ladies have proven themselves to be every bit as scrappy as the Boys this season. While the Men have gotten a lot of attention for their comeback win against Western Michigan the Women have compiled a 4-1 record including a win over South Dakota State, a team that was getting AP votes at the time.
