Suddenly, the RMC women's basketball team is on a roll. And if its defense improves, the Eagles could find themselves contending for a conference title. Still, coach Michael Harris wants to see his team play better when it doesn't have the ball.
Defense wins games.
We won't win until we improve our defense. The defensive standout for the Eagles so far has been feisty point guard Tammy Pikes, a transfer from Chicago State who missed the first part of the season. Pikes also is averaging nearly eight points a game. Sophomore Alissa Julius, a transfer from Northwestern College in Iowa, is next with 9.8 points. She also averages five rebounds per game.
