Leatherneck Nation

Watching on the stream and everyone seems to be stepping up their game in the absence of McCowan.  Lots of good ball movement and we are hitting our shots.  Good balanced scoring with Nicastro and Shetley leading the way.  Up 37-20 at the half.  Appears like a nice crowd bringing some energy to the Hall.
 

Is it just me or does Mia Nicastro sort of remind of Hall of Famer Zane Teilane with her post play?
 

SIUE made a 3rd qtr run to get within 11 but Leathernecks dominated after that to close out the win 75-51.  
 
 

Nice win against 8 win team.  Thought Madison Davis played well.  Raegan has dislocated elbow ouch will be out awhile.  Real nice holiday crowd.  Go WIU keep pushing!

Mia Nacastro led the Western scoring with 19 points.

I know that a lot of the fans were there to see miller today but still nice to have a good crowd. SIUE has Miller and another freshman guard if the find some post players they could be really tough the next few years.

The crowd at 1,235 was the 10th largest attendance in the history of WIU womens basketball.
