Yeah, it kinda ticks me off when the ESPN sportscasters say that the Lady Techsters won 2 NCAA titles ( which is true ) yet neglect to give them credit for the AIAW National title in '81 ( making us THREE time champs )! Then they talk about ( & very MUCH DESERVEDLY so ) 3 time champs ( both ) Immaculata & Delta State. Had it not been for those schools ( plus ODU, Tennessee & us ) showing the NCAA that there was a demand for & fans to support WBB on the college level, they wouldn't be pulling in the $$ for our sport now.
Going back to the early days, let's not forget the Techster's first real post player & that was Elinor Griffin. She was a quiet young woman & unassuming but she developed into an excellent post player for us & set the foundation for SH & LB's offense. Thanks, Elinor!!
