THIS IS IT!!!

THE FINAL HOME GAMES...
YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SEE THE SUPER SENIORS AT HOME 
AND THANK A GROUP OF YOUNG & TALENTED WOMEN FOR
FOUR SEASONS OF AMAZING BBALL

Friday, February 13 at 8 pm, the Stormy Petrels take the court against Rhodes College. Through the efforts of our Sports Information Director, Hoyt Young, the game will be televised via webcasting. To see the game on your computer go to the following link: 


Playonsports will televise both the men's game, at 6, and our game at 8. This is a first at OU and, if received well, could be more something we'll see in the future! This is also Homecoming and basketball blackout. Wear your black!

Sunday is Senior Day, and our last scheduled home game at 3pm. We will honor a group of seniors that have brought to Stormy Petrel fans across the country (and Italy also) unparalleled basketball excitement. This surviving group of 6 four year players has generated a list of team and individual accomplishments that has set the standard for excellence both on and off the court: high GPS's, community service, campus leadership, and yes they sure can play BBALL also.
COME TO OLE' DOROUGH FIELDHOUSE 
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND BE A PART OF THE CELEBRATION!


THE RECORD
19-2, 10-1 SCAC
#5 USA TODAY/ESPN, #6 D3 HOOPS

Last week we traveled to Sewanee to play the ever-improving Tigers and they gave us all we could handle. Still playing without Tina Grace (leg muscle tear), and then Katie Kulavic comes up with a tight calf muscle in the first half, and we found ourselves down at the half by 5. But, as this amazing team can do, they find another level and kick it up a gear and we finish with a 70-62 'W'

With the injuries, we are getting extended quality play from our bench. February games are the true test of where a team stands. The first test is how the bench steps up or not. And our bench is stepping it up. In the last few games, we have been going deep into our bench and they have truly responded. As an example, Ari Brown has come in and given us valuable inside help while Tina recovers. Chelsea MacDonald has been popping the 3's to bolster our outside game. We will need this to continue as we enter the final push and press toward our 4th straight NCAA Big Dance invitation. We all know this is a team of 14 players, and what you fans don't see is what goes on at practice and the contributions of all the players make for the success of the team. The starters get the headlines, but team is where it's at.
COME SUPPORT THE TEAM THIS WEEKEND...


HAPPENINGS
So far, we already have 3 commitments for next season and we have an excellent pool of very interested prospects to round out a great team. But first things first...

COME CHEER ON OUR FANTASTIC SENIORS THIS WEEKEND.
