No responses yet on the Bowdoin-Southern Maine post from earlier today…guessing at what happened from what I read, sounds like it was pretty even and that Southern Maine did a pretty good job taking care of the basketball (6 steals for Bowdoin is a low total, from what I’ve seen in past).
Other than that, looks like close games were a theme…On the men’s side, 7 of the first 50 finals listed were 1-point wins, most notably the Bethany win referenced out front, Cortland over super-sleeper Brockport and Keene State over Colby-Sawyer. They weren’t quite as close on the women’s side, but their were a couple of close calls with Springfield barely edging Western Connecticut, and Baldwin-Wallace squeaking past a Case Western squad that beat them the previous season.
I’ll nominate this team boxscore line for most unusual of the week, and I think I’ll win 9 times out of 10.
Coast Guard’s women’s basketball team (in a game I webcast this evening) shot a very impressive 15-for-29 on 3-pointers, yet was 11-for-35 on 2-pointers, and an out-of-character 6-for-17 on free throws, in a win over Anna Maria.
Seemingly deserving of special mention is Lake Erie College (AMCC) beating D2 Edinboro (3-0 going into the game) by a score of 66-62. That has to be a thrill for the followers of a program seeking any kind of recognition at the D3 level. Looking at their schedule, they have really taken on a challenge, a high level schedule, —doing it the right way. Good luck to the Storm!!!
Congratulations to Lake Erie. This was the first time I thought about the nickname for LEC.
I can just imagine the Storms’ uniforms…white jerseys and pants with white piping and trim, white letters and numerals, white socks, white shoes with white logos and white wrist bands. A truly distinctive color scheme done in “lake-effect white”!
Ralph, I was thinking the same thing you wrote. Of course the uniforms go nicely with the white gym floor, walls, bleachers and seats. The home fans are encouraged to dress in all white also and they tried to get an NCAA exemption so they could use a white ball.
All white unis?
I’d hate to be the person in charge of staving off unsightly sweat stains.
“Lake Erie College…sponsored by Tide.”
By the way, did anyone notice Greenville’s game against Logan Chiropractic? Are they in the same conference as Albany College of Pharmacy?
Who is that? And what’s their mascot?
Inquiring minds want to know…
The school slogan: “We’ve had class for more than 70 years.”
I’ve done some mad googling, but have had no luck on a nickname or mascot. Every press release simply calls them “Logan.”
I’m going to guess they’re the “Lumbar”
They have a player/coach which is always interesting.
‘Okay..gasp, gasp…on this next play…gasp, gasp…we’re gonna run our screen and roll…”
Tide? Okay, Gordon! We are seeing the further encroachment of NASCAR into D3. It was on another board that we discussed the virtues of Home Depot, M&M’s and Viagra!
Logan Chiropractic is a club team. Hence, the player/coach.
You jest about Albany College of Pharmacy, Gordon, but your jest is closer to the truth than you think. SLIAC teams are notorious for playing opponents of this type. On the same night that Greenville was squaring off against the spine-crackers from Logan Chiropractic, their SLIAC rivals over at Principia were facing St. Louis College of Pharmacy.
Worse, the future pharmacists from the Gateway City brought out the ol’ mortar ‘n’ pestle and pulverized Principia into a fine powder, 83-55.
The only nickname for Logan Chiropractic that I can come up with is the “Quack Attack.”
