Buscaglia Gets Extension
We talked to Sal earlier on Monday for this story that’s in Thursday’s Beaver County Times.
Couple things that didn’t make the cut:
- Several RMU players played for their respective national teams over the summer, including Mary Durojaye (England), Anna Gailite (Latvia), Yohanna Morton (Dominican Republic), and freshman Artemis Spanou (Greece).
- Gailite and Durojaye apparently impressed their national team coaches during the summer. Buscaglia said the English coaches were “really happy with her progress.”
- He also pointed out that the international players benefit from playing top competition all year around, noting that per NCAA rules, coaches aren’t allowed to do much at all with their players during the summer. The international players get to play at a high level during the summer sessions, which helps their development and skillset.
- As you’ll see in the article, Vega Gimenez-Martinez will not be back. Buscaglia said that she really enjoyed her time at Robert Morris, but it’s “hard to turn down” an offer that includes a pro contract in your native Spain that includes education benefits.
- Coach Sal said that replacing Angela Pace, the reigning NEC Player/Defensive Player of the Year, will be the toughest task. It’ll likely fall to a combination of Morton and freshman Danielle Bounds.
- Season opener is against Lehigh, followed up with a game at North Carolina.
