SPRINGFIELD– In college athletics, the toughest part of a team’s schedule is generally their conference slate. Facing the same teams year after year means each opponent knows what you’re gonna do before you even think about it. But when it comes to the Lady Panthers, there’s no one who can stop them right now.
That’s because Amy Eagan’s crew is a perfect 15-0 in Great Lakes Valley play, averaging 86 points a game, while holding opponents to just 61.
