Maryland's Diamond Miller is a 6-3 senior who has scored 1,035 points on 45 percent shooting over her first three seasons at Maryland. She averaged a career best 17.3 points per game in 2020-21. Last season she averaged 13.1 points per game. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament she scored 23 points in a win over Delaware, where she shot 66.7 percent from the field. In round two Miller posted 24 points with nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block against Florida Gulf Coast. Lavender Briggs joins Miller as a potent scoring option for the Terrapins. Briggs averaged 15.8 in 61 games over three seasons at Florida. She technically only completed one full season as a Gator. She suffered a season ending injury in 2020-21 after 18 contests and entered the transfer portal in 2021-22 after 14 contests. Briggs also averaged 6.1 points and 1.2 steals during her time at Florida.
Another transfer to watch is Allie Kubek. A 6-2 forward from Elkton, Maryland, Kubek averaged 14.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game for Towson. She shot 50.1 percent from the field and went out on a high note in her final game for Towson.

WB2K23: Purdue-Fort Wayne
Purdue-Fort Wayne went 9-21 last season. Believe it or not it was an improvement from a 1-22 season that the Mastodons had in 2020-21. Nine is the most number of wins that Fort Wayne has earned since 2014-15 when it finished 9-21 as well. Sylare Starks, a native of Fort Wayne, led her squad in scoring with a career best 11.7 points per game average. She shot 34.4 percent from three and 92 percent from the free-throw line. The 5-9 guard will be joined again by her backcourt mate Shayla Sellers, from Aurora, Ohio. Like Starks, Sellers is dangerous from long range and the charity stripe. She hit 36.2 percent of her threes while making 90.2 percent of her free-throws. She averaged 10.8 points per game which is the best of her three-year career. Another player to watch is Aubrey Stupp, who is a 5-11 guard that led Fort Wayne in rebounds at 5.3 boards per game. She collected 10 rebounds on two occasions. The first was in a 21-point, 10-rebound effort against Taylor University. The second was in the first round of the Horizon League Tournament against Robert Morris.

Somers Rebounds with Two Straight Victories
No matter what the record says, Coach Deb Daly has her own standard for measuring success. “We always want to see progression,” she said. So despite an 0-3, she still felt her girls were on point, but now, the bottom line is catching up.

John Jay Gets Easy 10-0 Win Over Saunders
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons below. Thank you. On Friday April 5, after opening the lacrosse season with a 3-1 victory over Lakeland High School, John Jay faced the Saunders Blue Devils at Contest Field in Cross River and sent a rookie to the pitcher's mound. So in walking the first batter on four pitches and falling behind to the second Devil, Jack Garneau admitted he might not have been locked in enough at the outset of the early evening game. But he turned the house key, struck out the side and the rest was easy pickings for the hungry Wolves.

Tortured Soul
The soul careened blindly through a void where it scraped against the walls of a narrow tunnel, amassing a cumulative friction that created all the heat the devil would ever need to torment it. There was no light at the end, not even a fire. From the bottom a cold wind blew, and the clash of extremities spawned vapors of terror in the deadened and numbed appendage that was this strange, delirious, drunken consciousness.
