Don't let the 5-9 record fool you. This is a tough schedule and the 49ers lost two games to teams ranked in the top 50 RPI by one point, and one team in the top 100 by two points. If you are looking for common opponents, ODU and Charlotte are both 2-0 against Coppin St and South Carolina St. So...we have that going for us.

Ransom is from Landstown HS in Va Beach, VA. Pearson is from Hampton HS. The 49ers love to go inside. And since they have a starting forward team that is 6'3" and 6'4", why not? They like to penetrate and go inside. From the outside, Linney and Ransom are the team's best three point shooters. This will be a challenge since ODU doesn't have the length that the 49ers have. Rebounding will be critical. The good news is that don't play a lot of players, so the depth should be about the same. Wilson is having a nice solid season for a freshman. Raventos that is the team's leading scorer though and she is the one you have to guard because she does a little bit of everything.

Yes away from Charlotte the 49ers are 0-7 on the season. Then again, it was a tough road schedule that they did play. Usually the 49ers have a pretty good road attendance at the Ted. With two local players, I would expect similiar support. At the end of the day, thsi could be a fun game for the Monarchs. For those that can't make it due to ice on the road, remember that it will be on ESPN 3.
Freshman Victoria Morris is 3 three's away from tying TJ Jordan 47 for a freshman. I don't have the stats, but that might be the most threes by a women's players in her freshman year. For her career, she has 177 points. To give you an idea.....
#10 on the all time freshman list for points scored is Nyree Roberts with 266. Morris is 89 points away. The Monarchs have 16 games on the schedule, not counting postseason. (if we go....) So yes I do think Morris can crack the top ten for all time scorers as a true freshman at ODU. Only time will tell...
