Leatherneck Nation

The Leathernecks are currently 5-2 on the season (did any of those non-DI games count as an exhibition?) with wins over UMKC, Illinois, and Chicago State and losses to Northern Illinois and Milwaukee.

The next week's worth of games for the women...

Wednesday, November 29th - at home vs Chicago State at 7 PM
Chicago State is currently 0-6 and lost at home on 11/22 to the Leathernecks by a score of 83-45


Friday, December 1st - at Wichita State at 12 PM
Wichita State is currently 1-6 with a game against Missouri State coming up before we play them. They lost by 14 points to fellow Summit League member South Dakota, and lost by 1 point to Illinois (who we beat by 10) 4 days after our matchup with them.


Tuesday, December 5th - at home vs Southeast Missouri State at 7 PM
SEMO is currently 4-3, although 2 of those wins are against NAIA teams (Missouri Valley College and Evangel University), so they're 2-3 against DI teams with wins over Saint Francis University (82-50) and Bradley (57-53) and losses to Louisville (80-40), George Mason (57-38), and Southern Illinois (79-74). They have a game at Cincinnati prior to our game against them.

There was one exhibition game this season on Nov. 2. Western beat Quincy University 87-50.

Leathernecks look to tame Cougars.
