I would bet my life savings that she just grabbed a rebound.


And FWIW, the ladies play year round. That, I do have respect for.

lol

They were in the ABL. Played 2 and a half(ish) seasons. Won 2 championships and were leading the Eastern conference by 2 games when the league disbanded.


And yes, I had to look it up.

The wikipedia page says they had the lowest average attendance in the ABL lol.

Anyone remember the Columbus Horizon?? Men's ball, but I remember going to games at Battelle Hall lol.

The Quest was a pretty bad ass team who whooped up on pretty much everyone they played. And yes, I'd been to a game or two @ Batelle Hall. They had players like Katie Smith, Valerie Still, and others, competing against the likes of the Colorado Xplosion, Richmond Renegades and others.

I'm sorry, the Richmond franchise was known as the Renegades. The league also featured the likes of the New England Blizzard, San Jose Lasers, Seattle Reign, Atlanta Glory, and Chicago Condors
