Sweet Sixteen

On Sunday, our team headed down to Temple University to watch the Sweet Sixteen games in the Philadelphia Region. The first game pitted UConn against Georgetown. Georgetown had a lead for the first two-thirds of the game or so, but UConn put together a nice run to close out the game. In the second game, Duke beat DePaul. At the beginning, it looked like it might be a Duke blow out, but DePaul battled back and kept it close, getting within 3 twice in the final minutes. We had a great time watching the games in person. I really enjoyed being with the team as a whole group, which doesn't happen as much in the off-season. Tonight's Elite Eight match up of Duke and UConn should be a good one!

March Madness Continues

I enjoyed watching some great games on TV last night and am really looking forward to the match ups tonight. The women's Sweet Sixteen begins tomorrow. Our team will see some action in person when we head to Temple on Sunday to watch UConn take on Georgetown and Duke play DePaul. Both should be great games. We are all looking forward to it. What a great basketball filled weekend!

Spring break is over and campus is buzzing again for the final 5 weeks of class. We have several different activities planned for our team as we finish the semester. Check back for updates!

Spring Break

This week will be quiet on campus with the vast majority of students gone for spring break. Most of our team is home relaxing this week - well deserved rest after working so hard this season. We won't take too long of a rest though, because we are all already looking forward to next year! We have a few fun things planned for our team this spring; we'll keep you posted!

Heading to Baltimore!

We are heading down to Baltimore tomorrow to take on Johns Hopkins in the Centennial Conference Semi-Finals at 3pm. If you can't make it in person, check out the streaming video and cheer us on from home! Follow the links on GoDiplomats.com for video and live stats.

It's that time of year, the Centennial Conference Playoffs begin tomorrow with the First Round game. We are hosting Ursinus at 7:30pm. We'd love your support in Mayser tomorrow night! If you are not in the area, be sure to tune in to GoDiplomats.com for the live (and free) video. Go Dips!

WHITE OUT!

A "White Out" has been declared for our game against Dickinson tomorrow as well as for the men's game at 4pm. Please join us, wearing white, to show your support for the Diplomats as we close out the regular season. The SAAC (Student-Athlete Advisory Committee) will be selling white rally towels throughout both games. The cost is $5 for one towel and $12 for three towels.

We hope to see you in Mayser tomorrow!

Congratulations Coach Robinson!

Follow all the great coverage on GoDiplomats.com. And be sure to check out Coach Robinson's interview with ESPN's First Take. Congratulations Coach Robinson!

Food & Fun

Recently our team enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Professor Kibler's house. Professor Kibler is our Faculty Liaison and one of our biggest fans. Our first year players meet with Professor Kibler at the beginning of the school year for an informal conversation and to make a connection with her early. After a delicious dinner, we played a relay race game with one teammate in a chair and the others racing one at a time to style her hair with a piece of uncooked spaghetti. The first team to complete their look with 15 pieces of pasta won. The competitive nature of our team came out and players were racing back and forth across the living room. The evening was a lot of fun. It is always nice for our team to enjoy each other's company in a relaxed setting. Thank you Professor Kibler!

Alumnae Game

This past Saturday, 18 alums returned to campus for a pretty competitive alumnae game. The odd graduating years took on the even graduating years with the odds coming out on top with a two point win. At our game later that afternoon, all of the alums in attendance were recognized at half time and following our win, we had a wonderful reception with our current players, their families, our alums and their families. It was great to see so many former women's basketball players back on campus and to catch up with some of my own former teammates. We hope that next year even more alums will return to Mayser for the alumnae game!

Minute to Win It

On Friday evening our team got together for pizza and our own version of the game show, Minute to Win It. While we weren't playing for a million dollars like the contestants on TV, we had tons of fun.
