Greatest Hits: The Owner's Box, Ep. 10

Missy Traversi

On Saturday, the Adelphi University women's basketball team improved to 25-2 with a 64-52 win over the University of New Haven, so it's entirely fitting that as part of the "Greatest Hits" series for my podcast, The Owner's Box, I return to Episode 10 and my interview with Panthers' coach Missy Traversi, the former Bishop Feehan standout.

Traversi's Panthers are very likely to be the No. 1 seed in their region of the NCAA Division II tournament, but first will have the conference tourney ahead of them. But their hard work and success this season has ensured that Bishop Feehan's Emily Miccile, Attleboro High's Julia Strachan and the rest of the team will be playing a lot of home games in postseason play this year.

I particularly enjoy the part where Missy got tired of me saying how successful she was. Indeed, after this interview was concluded, the Panthers went on to lose to Stonehill and St. Anselm. Fortunately, the newly-minted "The Owner's Box Jinx" has worn off.

Enjoy this episode, recorded in the coach's office in Garden City, N.Y.
