Jenny Logan was all smiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sure, the Luray graduate who left the Bulldogs girls basketball program as its all-time leading scorer was happy to win her Eastern Mennonite coaching debut Tuesday. But it was the things she saw from her Royals during a season-opening 69-41 win over Apprentice School inside Yoder Arena that had the former Bridgewater College standout beaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt felt great,\u201d said Logan, who replaced Kevin Griffin atop the EMU women\u2019s basketball program during the offseason. \u201cGoing into today, obviously, I wanted to win. But I don\u2019t think I could have asked for a better situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
EMU’s new women’s basketball coach earned her first win with the Royals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That situation was getting strong play from her starters after the first-game jitters wore off, evident by a first-quarter 6-for-16 shooting performance and a sloppy up-tempo game that resulted in 22 turnovers. But once the Royals (1-0) got into their set offense, the shots began to fall. From there, it trickled down for the Royals as Logan used a pull-away second 10 minutes \u2014 shooting 9-for-19 \u2014 to empty her bench a bit and give her younger players a chance to \u201cknock the dust off.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Led by Lindsey Krisak\u2019s team-high 14 points, including four 3-pointers, the Royals had the luxury of going to their younger lineup that saw freshmen Lexi Dean, an East Rockingham graduate, and Constance Komara, a former Harrisonburg standout, get pivotal playing time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dean booked four points and added five rebounds and two blocks in over 15 minutes of floor time with Komara scoring nine points in just under 13 minutes of play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe thing that makes [Dean] so special is her feel and her ability to move around the basket,\u201d Logan said. \u201cAnd Constance has a beautiful shot, it\u2019s textbook. She just needs to get that experience a bit and settle down in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Logan\u2019s veterans, however, led the way against the out-manned Builders, who dressed only seven players on the trip from Newport News.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Senior forward Jess Washington added 12 points on 5-for-8 shooting and junior Chrissy Delawder, a Broadway graduate, added 11 points on 4-for-7 from the field to go with Krisak\u2019s double-digit effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m just taking what they give me at this point,\u201d said Krisak, who also dished out a team-high five assists. \u201cAlso trying to create for my teammates and come together as a unit.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Delawder, who booked a double-double with 11 rebounds, said the sloppy first quarter in which the Royals shot a paltry 6-for-16 was all thanks to those first-game nerves, something the team talked about before taking the court for their season opener. Also a factor: the Royals played one scrimmage all preseason and that happened in October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt was nice to get out there and play against a different opponent other than ourselves,\u201d Delawder said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The opponent \u2014 the Builders \u2014 didn\u2019t find its groove until the third quarter when Apprentice School finally managed a scoring spurt, going on a 10-0 run against EMU\u2019s younger lineup. By that point, however, the Royals had built a 26-point lead that the Builders whittled down to 17 before a Dean putback and a Krisak jumper put the brakes on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

By the time Komara hit her first collegiate field goal \u2014 a fourth-quarter 3 from the elbow \u2014 Logan\u2019s first win at EMU was well in hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe talked about it before the game,\u201d Delawder said. \u201cIt\u2019s the same tradition, even with a new coach, but it\u2019s the beginning of something new.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Logan, meeting with recruits and then shaking hands with well-wishers after the victory, said the improvements in ball protection and the up-tempo play will come as the year rolls on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
