It's that time of the year again, no it's not Christmas (I lied in in the title) but for us Lady Petrels fans it sure as hell feels like it because tomorrow at noon your Lady Petrels will take on the defending National Champs; the DePauw University Tigers. DePauw will come into the Dorough Field House tomorrow undefeated in SCAC play, ranked #8 in the country and boasting a record of 21 wins and

Sorry for my lack of blogness the past month, I've been working hard to feed my dog and myself, but I have some down time currently and would like to take a minute to spread the word about the Lady Petrels.Currently the Petrels are sitting at second place in the SCAC Eastern Division, 2 games behind DePauw. The good news is that we get DePauw one more time this season, the bad news is that we can

So I must apologize…I missed my first Lady Petrels game of the ’07-’08 campaign, however, Brick Faucette was sent on the road to cover our Lady Petrels in my absence. Brick’s summary of last weekends SCAC play is written below:"We’re in it for the Long Haul… Literally! The Lady Petrels embarked upon their first conference road trip this past weekend that stretched from Danville, KY to

If the undefeated season must come to an end, then I'm glad it ended in the fashion it did on Sunday night. You might say, "We lost by 10, and gave up a double digit lead in the final 15 minutes, how is that a good loss?" I'm not saying it's a good loss, but the lady Petrels have to be walking away with a lot of confidence after that loss. The effort Sunday was awesome; both teams wanted nothing

The first semester has pretty much come to an end; some have finished all their exams, some still have some testing to go but the Lady Petrels still have three games left before the New Year. I know some of you are going to go home for the entirety of the holiday break, but for those of you who live in the Atlanta area or can make it to the games over the break I strongly encourage you to do so.

The Lady Petrels have made it through another week of the season and their record remains unblemished. Sitting at 7-0, the Petrels have gotten off to one of the best starts in school history. But I'm gonna be greedy, I want more! I'm not just talking about extending this unbeaten streak; I'm talking about the level of intensity during the games. Both games this past week have left me with an

Yes, it's that time of the year again as the Emory Eagles will grace us with their presence tomorrow night at Dorough Field House. This cross-town rivalry is always a fun event, especially when the good guys win. As an Oglethorpe grad and former basketball player I know how much this game means to our teams and students. It seems that Oglethorpe often lives in the shadow of Emory here in Atlanta,

With two great wins this opening weekend in SCAC play the Lady Petrels should make an appearance in the D3Hoops.com top 25 poll this week. The Petrels are flying high and looking great thus far in the young 2007-2008 hoops season. At 5-0 and with great wins over Piedmont, a National Tourney team last season, and former D-I Birmingham Southern, the Lady Petrels are demanding respect and I'll be

So the Lady Petrels are off to a great start (3-0) on this young season, but I'm going to limit the amount of praise I give them in this post because I would like to talk about referees today. If any referee assigners out there ever read this, which I seriously doubt, please stop sending your C team to referee our beloved Lady Petrels basketball team. This is not me ranting about bad calls

If you haven't heard, Oglethorpe absolutely dominated their two opening weekend opponents this past Friday and Saturday at the Emory & Henry Tip-off Tournament. Neither of the games was ever really close and Coach Sattele was able to get a good look at many of his young players as Oglethorpe's defense put both games away early on. The Lady Petrels did exactly what I expected them to do...dominate

The SCAC has finally released its preseason predictions for the 2007-2008 basketball season, and the DePauw Tigers are the clear favorite in the conference. However, with one day to left to vote on the poll on this Blog, it appears that the lady Petrels are a clear favorite to win the conference. Yes, my poll may be slightly biased but it is still a poll of opinion and anyone in the World (who

I am not 100% certain, but it does appear that a large percentage of voters for Women's DIII News have been reading our blog and have done their research on the 2007-2008 Lady Petrels Hoops team. The first two major preseason top 25 polls left the Petrels out, but after my criticism of the other polls, the Women’s DIII News poll gave our Ladies the #20 preseason ranking. I believe they were

The 2007-2008 Preseason polls from D3hoops.com and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) agree that OU will not begin the season as one of the top 25 teams in the nation. However, OU did receive votes in both polls and is currently ranked 36th in the D3hoops.com poll and 34th in the WBCA poll. I must admit that I think the Lady Petrels are deserving of a preseason top 25 ranking, but

"We have sports teams?," commented a 5th year junior at Oglethorpe when I asked him about his expectations of the Lady Petrels this coming hoops season. Surprisingly this was not the first such response I received last Wednesday when I went back to the campus of Oglethorpe University in a quest to gather student insight on their expectations of the 2007-2008 Lady Petrels hoops squad.

With the Lady Petrels first regular season game less than a month away, you have to ask the question; is this team ready to make a run at the D-III National Championship? I know the season has not yet begun, and two straight years of making the national tourney does not guarantee a third straight appearance, but the fact that the Lady Petrels are bringing back their core players for a third
