I realize that there aren’t many subscribers to the RTD, but if no one subscribes then we will have even less coverage of the team.
My favorite part of the article is this quote from Sweeney:
“Obviously that was a great accomplishment, a testament to what this program has been able to do,” junior point guard Ally Sweeney said of the preseason ranking. “It doesn’t really mean much just yet. We have to prove that was an accurate ranking, so we’re just working and doing that every day, little by little.”

Roussell in Navy postgame, talking about his team's upcoming tournament/schedule:
"We want to go play the best teams that we can...A top 10 team, maybe better than that, and a top mid major that is picked to win their league."
The contrast is so stark.

36 to start out in the NET rankings is mighty impressive. Congrats to Roussel and the women for playing a really demanding schedule and already beating some really quality teams.
