In both losses this weekend, we lost the game in the second period. The main reason is we don't have the reserves to come in and rest the starters and we become offensively challenged.
I am starting to feel better about our starting five. Daniels, Oniyah, and Schipholt are becoming solid underneath. McIntosh and Mia are OK in the back court. But things go downhill when Olsen and Muca go in the game. Part of it is they are not strong sturdy players. But Richey is. Forget about shooting, or ball handling or such. Just on pure strength, she is the strongest.
Samb and Heide don't move their feet well enough to rebound well, and they are slow defensively. Will need work in the off season for quickness and strength.
Still, everyone is getting a lot of playing time, so they should have a good understanding of what they need to do in the off season.
