33-10 end of half

 

[SFspidur]

Not the smoothest showing overall for the Spiders, particularly in a weak third quarter, but Dayton was still completely overmatched. Spiders win, 55–37. Budnik with 14 and Doogan and Ullstrom with 13 apiece.

The one glaring weakness on this team is turnovers. 24 TOs against a better team
will be a disaster. Majority of these seem to be with our forwards and centers.

I like the way Jimenez has given us a boost on D. We played a bad 2nd half. So far I miss the full line change against bottom 100 teams we were running early.

 

[SFspidur]

We are 201st in TOs per game at 17.2 (though not counting today), so definitely could be better but not bottom of the barrel. There are more TOs in the women’s game in general, but definitely agree our bigs could do better in this area.

It’s been an issue for several years, but I’m not sure the reason for it. Do we not stress it in practice? Have to think we do, so it may just come down to the skills of these particular players, and their excellent play in other facets outweighs it.
