Let's hope Kenny is here for the longhaul and isn't thinking of leaving anytime soon. Not only is he a former JMU basketball star, he is a coach that exudes class. I really don't think there's a better person for the job out there.

Dawn Evans also scored her 1,000th point on Sunday, making her the fastest player to reach that mark in CAA history. She is currently tied for the #3 highest scorer in the country with Drexel's Gabriela Marginean at 23.8 ppg, only 0.1 behind #2.
