Probably the worst referee I ever watched … and his final call: I would almost bet that he will be on the crew that works the rematch in Lewiston. Booo!!!

When I got home last night, I rewatched the game on ESPN. Watching/listening to the game I get info that I otherwise wouldn’t. Manny/Brian said Brown’s out due to concussion protocol. I was guessing that because she was wearing sunglasses at the Manhattan game Thursday night. They stated another fact (about one of the players) that I didn’t know but now I can’t remember what it was. I agree, if we keep this team intact and with the incoming freshmen class next year; we’re going to be real good (like 1st place MAAC every year good) for a long time. Gotta keep them together at Siena though. Things are looking up for the women’s program. They said Seppala is 23 years old . I recall reading that she was a 20 year old freshman. There used to be an age limit of 25 as far as playing goes. Maybe she’s somewhere between 20 & 23? 🙂

Really enjoy watching this team. Did a pretty good job with the Niagara pressure for three quarters before the wheels kinda came off in the fourth. Maybe a combination of fatigue and inexperience. Would have been a tough one to lose especially with a really tough run of games to end the season. As coach said afterwards - a lot to learn from that game but nice to learn while getting a win. Made for a great ending and some good PR on ESPN.

Made for a great ending and some good PR on ESPN. I’m not saying this is what happened but sounds reasonable: Niagara played 12-13 players so they had fresher players in at the end (Siena only went 7 deep and probably were a little tired physically and mentally); Siena is the youngest team in the country (Niagara is not, plus I think I heard Manny/Brian say Niagara has 5 girls on the team who all came from the same HS so they’ve played together for 4+ years and know each others tendencies - Siena has a ton of new players still learning how to play together); Niagara basically fouls on just about every possession where they’re pressing/trapping but the refs can’t call a foul in all those plays so it wears us down and frustrates us (surprised we didn’t lose our composure).
