We put together one solid half each game, but we have to play two solid halves.”One problem the ‘Pack is facing is the strength of the competition. Now ranked in NAIA Women’s Basketball Ratings are conference foes #15 Xavier, #17 Dillard, and #21 Mobile. “Our schedule helps in that we play better in big games. We looked good against Dillard and at UNO,” said Plaisance.”In the UNO game we were only down 10 at halftime.”She also mentioned the strength of St. Mary, a transfer student, and Joelle Bordelon, biology freshman, a point guard ranked nationally in assists.”We have plenty of young potential diamonds in the rough,” she said.”The keys are shooting percentage, rebounds and getting to the free throw line.”
