we are more athletic and have a deeper bench. Will struggle if games are

a half court grind because of lack of inside size. Will be top 6 or so in ACC. The teams that have great coaching and inside size will be trouble for us--will have to shoot well from outside, minimize turnovers, etc. Suffren is intriguing. I don't think she is a PG. She does not distribute. She is a terror on defense and in the open court--finishing. Duff needs to figure out guard minutes. Swanson is experienced but not impressed. Need those minutes to Wells and Suffren and run!

agree with your analysis,our lack of 3 pointers would concern me **
mrknowitall • 11/05/25 06:18 PM ET
I think we will be better at the 3. No one is going to be Ekh or Cayla King
VAHokie89 • 11/05/25 06:39 PM ET
Swanson's misses seemed to be left or right. Easy fix.

She shot one 3-pter in the last game - small sample size
VAHokie89 • 11/07/25 12:11 PM ET
True. I meant to say Swanson.**

No, my fault. You did say Swanson. If you watch her, her body is not

Sorry pal but I edited the OP. I should have told you.**

I remarked last season that Samyha Suffren makes everyone else appear...

I agree 100%. Never seen anything like it. So effortless.**
j9hokie • 11/05/25 10:04 AM ET
She’s fearless too. **

Excellent post**

Good points. And Carys seems to have slimmed down some. **

Freelon is a ball hawk, and joined Kayl with a double-double. Scoring 💯 w/

Last years team could not stay in front of blocking dummy. They were so

The main ones who could not were Ekh and Micheaux. Baker struggled to

Top to bottom that may be true - not sure if that is true for the upper end
GO_HOKIES_GO • 11/04/25 09:51 PM ET
Agree with every point..good summary. Zero was a big surprise to me..**
gobblecreek • 11/04/25 09:21 PM ET
Freelon (#0) wasn’t a surprise to me.
RJHokie • 11/04/25 09:53 PM ET
Daley averaged double figures each year of her career in B1G
hokiepro • 11/04/25 10:34 PM ET
Daley reminds me of Lani White without the 3 pt shot
VAHokie89 • 11/05/25 03:31 PM ET
That’s a good comparison for Freelon.
RJHokie • 11/04/25 10:41 PM ET
Swanson was on minutes restriction. Her 2-for-6 was not really any more o
VAHokie89 • 11/05/25 03:30 PM ET
She’s been injured**

Did not know that until I read the TSL write up on the game.
