I wasn't going to do a game analysis on this one but after learning that this game counts in UConn's record as a win or a loss...I decided to do one but, to have a little different approach. Because I don't anticipate this game being much of a challenge for UConn given that Toronto Metropolitan is not a NCAA team and is probably somewhere between a Division II and a Division III team I thought a novel approach would be fun. In this one, I will provide what information I can find and the conclusions for each match-up will be interactive as anyone who wishes to post on any of the information provided can do so...the collective commentary will serve as the analysis of this game. Let's have some fun in the lead-up to this one.
Toronto will start Corrine Parker 6'1" Forward (24.5 minutes); Haley Fedick 6'2" Forward (25.8 minutes); Jayme Foreman 5'9" Guard (32.0 minutes); Kaille Hall 5'9" Guard (30.8 minutes) and, Catrina Garvey 5'7" Guard (30.7 minutes). Toronto will use Hailey Franco-DeRyek 6'0" F (19.4 minutes to spell Haley Fedick. Jessica Kerpie 5'10 Guard (16.7 minutes) will also see considerable time on the court.
