Washington's Kyra Hardesty commits to CofO

[washMoSports]

Kyra Hardesty had a big weekend as she hit her 300th three for her career, led her team to a big win over Columbia Rock Bridge at the Webster Groves tournament, and finished with signing with the College of the Ozarks Bobcats. Over the last 10 years CofO has been one of the top programs in NAIA. Congratulations to Kyra.

NAIA Division 2. Top Program in NAIA women's is Columbia College. Congrats

I haven't seen any recent polls. But since 2006 College of the Ozarks has played in the national championship game 5 times. They have failed to win it all. But I think that makes them one of the top programs over the last 10 years.

Not denying that, you said NAIA. I said D 2. Your statement would be equal to saying Central Missouri State is the best NCAA team

Not even close to the same thing... the difference between NAIA D1 and D2 is nowhere near the gap between D1 and D2 at the higher levels. Not even saying that Columbia College isn't the top program. I am a big fan of their program, especially under Coach Keller, but C of O is absolutely one of the top NAIA programs regardless of division. They've actually taken on and beaten NAIA D1 teams actually ranked higher than Columbia even this year.

Agree to disagree.

Haven't kept up since 2014 but at the end of the national tournament that season S of O had played 55 games in the national tournament (more than any other team in the history of the event).

I agree they have a good D2 program in the NAIA

 

[HARDWORK3211]

Lyon College is #9 in NAIA D1... lost to C of O. Not the first time it's happened. As well as having multiple other wins against teams in NAIA D1. It's just facts.

They are a good Division 2 team.

 

[HARDWORK3211]

I'm curious as to why you can't admit that they are a top tier NAIA program period? It can't be lack of wins, quality wins, postseason wins, wins against D1 opponents, wins against ranked D1 opponents. What's the reason(s)? Or you just can't accept it because you're that much of a homer for CC or the AMC.

 

[have an idea]

Has C of O played any d2 ranked teams. I see they have played 1 D1 ranked team.

 

[HARDWORK3211]

#2, #18 plus #9 in D1. As well as 7 other NAIA D1 teams I believe. Which is pretty much all you can do on a non-conference schedule.

Sounds good

Haven't checked back in since last post. Yea I'm sorry I didn't read your post that way. Obviously that's the problem with text posting etc. don't read the same as someone wrote it.

Of course in my humble opinion, CofO is better than Columbia but I'm an Alumni so I'm sure a Columbia alum would feel the same their way.

Lol. All good. I like the Patriots too

Saw that the Oliver girl from Stratford signed with C of O.

 

[tiny1972]

I believe I heard the Stieger girl from Cuba has signed there as well. Sounds like they have put together a strong class.

 

[have an idea]

C of O has most of their team back next year, playing x will be hard to get for Frosh. Like most programs.
