BTW I think this is the analyst everyone liked when she did our men's game either against Bellarmine or the exhibition (or both). I know I thought she was pretty good.

Let’s start 2-0 ladies!

 

[BoilerGal74]

Boiler Up Ladies!!!

 

[TC4THREE]

Man, the Big Ten Championship soccer match must have had dozens of people in attendance.

 

[TC4THREE]

Looks like Hardin, Terry, Ellis, Layden and Kyle to start.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Yes..,Way to start!

 

[BoilerGal74]

Man its so great seeing those 3’s zipping through that net…

 

[TC4THREE]

Opens up with an 11-0 run for the 2nd time in 2 games. Three 3's and a Layden steal/layup. Kyle wins the tip, gets a board and a block.

 

[TC4THREE]

Terry with a very unaware dribble results in the first turnover.

 

[TC4THREE]

Kyle with a good 5 minutes to start the game. No points but maintained pretty good defensive position and avoided fouls.

 

[TC4THREE]

23-16 end of 1. A couple bad turnovers. Was really impressed by Kyle that quarter. Sound defensively and able to convert when we got the ball to her in the post. 4 pts, 4 boards, and a block.

5 of 9 from deep.

 

[TC4THREE]

Ellis with 6 assists only about 12 minutes into the game.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Have to just love the energy these women bring this year to their play…

 

[TC4THREE]

Defense doing alot of halfcourt trapping this quarter and causing some issues for Western Michigan.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Ouch….That 3 hurt me here on the couch!

 

[TC4THREE]

Couple of good looks for Boilers don't go down and WMU converts on the other end to draw within 6.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Wow….Back banked shot!

 

[TC4THREE]

42-27 Purdue at halftime. Have to say, I'm really impressed with the execution on offense that half. Even on the shots they are missing, they are getting pretty good looks. 15 assists to only 5 turnovers on the half.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Love the pace…Love the energy, all the assists. Looks like a new team that really enjoys playing together.

Officially 1082. Pretty damn good considering the miserable weather.

Very tense game. (Much more exciting than the FB game - grin.)

I hope this is a harbinger of things to come. I'm cautiously optimistic that Katie Gearlds can bring the women's team back to prominence.

 

[TC4THREE]

Great pass by Terry to Layden backdoor for a layup to open the 2nd half.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Kile around that basket has been $$$$.

 

[TC4THREE]

10-2 start to the 2nd half. Defense turning into offense again. Ellis all over the place. 52-29 Boilers.

I've been impressed by how well they've been getting the ball into her in the post. Sometimes those post-entry passes can result into numerous turnovers but I don't recall a bad one so far today.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Yes! Take that charge!!!

 

[BoilerGal74]

And another charge taken….Go Boilers!!!

 

[TC4THREE]

Things got a little sloppy that quarter. 59-46 going to 4th. WMU ends half on 7-0 run.

Team looks so much better with Ellis in.

Why do the girls play quarters and the guys play halves?

 

[BoilerGal74]

You can see the wheels turning in Katies head on that sideline shot of her😎

 

[TC4THREE]

Terry with 2 great drives and finishes to push the lead back up to 13.

 

[TC4THREE]

As I say that, Terry misses a transition layup with results in a WMU break the other way that draws a foul on Kyle.

 

[BoilerGal74]

That’s a great line from Katie…” I’ve got some Gene Keady in me!” You know Coach Keady has to love that!!

 

[JeffBoiler]

Hey folks, I didn’t realize this thread was going on. Turned the game on about halfway thru the 3rd Q when I got home and have been impressed with the Boilers intensity and tempo. WMU has closed the gap, playing sticky D…. But I like most of what I’ve seen so far. VERY different vibe with Coach KG on the sidelines!

 

[BoilerGal74]

Come on Ladies….Get that ball movement back…

You missed a gem of a first half. That was as good as I've seen a Purdue team execute in years. Things have been a bit loose by comparison in the 2nd half.

 

[JeffBoiler]

Did I hear correctly that Katie has been the head coach for just 59 days?? Wow

Yeah, sure sounds like it. I’m sorry I missed it

Yeah. I guess it's been about 2 months since Versyp stepped down.
