After starting the season a dismal 3-16, the Lady Bucs bounced back for a .500 record for the season’s home stretch and a surprise first-round bye, an auspicious sign for a young team that hopes to rise up fom the purgatory of rebuilding.
Part of the problem for the Lady Bucs this season has been interior defense, as witnessed by their cellar-dweller status in both field goal percentage against and defensive rebounding. On the perimeter, however, Erin Thurman and company are a dangerous team, having hit more three-pointers (149) than anyone else in the SoCon. Thurman accounted for 64 of those on her own, the most for an individual in the league.
Chris Forman is the team’s lone senior and leading scorer at 12.5 ppg, good enough for seventh in the SoCon. She, like Thurman, can light it up from behind the arc, ranking second in the conference in three-point accuracy (40 percent).
