Scouting report: Heading into this weekend’s Rachel Bach Memorial Tournament, the Rams are rounding into form. “We’re cruising along. Just trying to get a lot in in a little time,” Miller said. “This is a good group.” One reason Miller likes the group is all the familiar faces. There are plenty of seniors, led by Stranski and Shannon. Stranski will anchor the post at 5-foot-11. “We’re not especially tall,” Miller said. The Rams will play primarily a man-to-man defense, “but I think we’ll come up against teams where they’ll have a dominant inside player and we’ll have to help out in that situation,” she said. Moylan didn’t play last year but already is impressing her coach. Another good sign: “We’re a better shooting team this year than last year,” Miller said.
