Go Pioneers!
At least, that’s the cry in four places this weekend. Elsewhere it’s Bears, Blue Devils, Cardinals, Choctaws, Cowgirls, Eagles, Ephs, Flying Dutchmen/Dutch, Huskies, Jumbos, Lions, Loggers, Lutes, Marlins, Polar Bears, Royals, Thunder, Tigers, Titans, Yellow Jackets and Yellowjackets.
Widener’s Pioneers are the ones I saw this weekend. Constantly kept both Catholic and York out of their game plan offensively, appeared to fluster both teams into taking ill-advised shots. I look forward to their matchup with William Paterson’s Pioneers. Kris Clarkson didn’t shoot well, but both teams gave him plenty of attention on defense. Clarkson still got his points both nights.
I was the last person out of Wolf Gym, as far as I could tell. Somehow that doesn’t seem appropriate. Hopefully there was someone else in the building after I left. For me to be the last one out on the last night of basketball just seems wrong. The new building looks fantastic, however.
The CCIW has two teams in the men’s Sweet 16, the UAA women and NESCAC women have two as well. But I was only at one game last night. You folks were presumably at the others.
