The John Carroll Women’s Basketball team is making a convincing run in defending last year’s Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) title.
The Blue Streaks are 13-2, with eight wins against conference opponents. The D3hoops.com poll ranks JCU tenth in the nation, after defeating Balwin Wallace 68-65 last week. BW was ranked 11th before their loss to the Blue Streaks. JCU is now in sole possession of first place in the OAC standings. Second-year Head Coach Beth Andrews ‘15 has a tight-knit core of returning players poised to keep the momentum going after winning their sixth game in a row, a blowout win against Muskingum last Saturday, 93-42.
Andrews had an immediate influence on her team during her first year as head coach. Despite COVID protocols significantly shortening the season, she led the Blue Streaks to a 13-2 record. The team finished first overall in OAC standings and cut down the net in the conference tournament. Andrews’ leadership earned her OAC Coach of the Year honors.
