Anoka-Ramsey Opens Up Season With Blowout Win

Attended the season opener for Anoka-Ramsey this evening as the Golden Rams took opponent St. Cloud Technical College to the woodshed in a 105-24 landslide that honestly could have been a lot worse.  Because the game got out of hand quickly, head coach David DeWitt was able to substitute liberally.  Because Marie Hanson is still out with a bum knee, DeWitt started three of his new incoming  freshmen; Jayme Hill, Tacita Gonzalez, and Tracy McGregor along with sophs Mallory Cramer and Stephanie Pilgrim.  Gonzalez has excellent speed and can shoot behind the arc.  Also was impressed with a couple of other freshmen as well; Tamarra Shorter and Bailey Lund.  As you can imagine from the score, ARCC had numerous easy fast break points from steals.  Things will toughen up this coming Friday as ARCC heads down to Mason City, Iowa for the NIACC Classic with a matchup with Ellworth and then NIACC the following day.
