Fun Fact: Butler head coach Kurt Godlevske was the BNL girls basketball coach (w/ Damon Bailey as an assistant) for years before moving on to Butler.

However, before that, he was a 7th grade PE teacher at Bedford Middle School. His favorite activity was to make his students run laps if they were even a second late to class.

I thought I recognized the name from high school ball!

It's Nicole Cardano-Hillary's night to shine.  Last year she shot just 27% from beyond the arc.  Tonight she's hit 6-7 and has a total of 26 pts. along with 5 reb and 5 asst.

 

Make that 29 pts. and 7-8 on 3s.

Just watching the box score, but if Cardano-Hilary is gonna produce half of these numbers this season we are gonna be really dangerous. Woah. Thought last year she gave good effort but was kind of a weak link in our rotation and forced some shots. Color me pleasantly surprised if she can consistently knock down shots and take some of the outside shooting pressure off of Grace. Still say, as I have for 2-3 years now, depth is going to be an issue. But if Moren can somehow keep fresh legs come March we will be a tough out.

24 assists on 35 made FG; Ali Patberg had 10 of the 24.

[JerryYeagley23 3,721]

Ali with a rough shooting night to start the season going 0-6 from deep, but she did drop 10 dimes. Maybe the 7 years of college basketball is finally catching up to those old legs on the jump shots. Ha. Not worried. I think we’ll see Cardano-Hilary and Patberg’s performances revert to the mean over the next few games. Good showing for the #8 team in the land.
