It was a really good season for Brandeis and it was a sad way to come to the end...but a great effort, nonetheless.
It was an amazing game--one of the best I've ever seen in person--and a pleasure to get the opportunity to do play-by-play for.
Bowdoin took the early lead (12-2) and seemed to never look back. Brandeis kept on chipping away but never seemed to be able to tie it (I think they had at least 10 possessions in this game where they had a chance to tie with a basket). Then, with 1:30 left in the game, Allison Chase hit a 3 to tie it up and the place went ballistic.
I've never been in a DIII atmosphere like that but it was great. For that last 1:30 no one sat, no one stopped cheering. The only unfortunate thing is that Brandeis couldn't keep it tied and forced OT.
I think that it was a great showing for Brandeis...they were able to "hang with the Maine crowd". Again, I'm not sure why two teams this good were playing in the second round of the tournament...but I digress.
We usually have a listernship cap of about 25 people. For this weekend I increased the online listernship to a couple of hundred people and both days we maxed out which is an amazing accomplishment for our small radio station, WBRS. I hope all of you that listened in enjoyed it and if you enjoyed anything or have any suggestions of change, please e-mail me at sports@wbrs.org
I never thought I would go to college and be this into DIII Women's Basketball...but at the end of the broadcast I couldn't sign off for one last time...
It really was an amazing experience and I can't wait to come back as an alumnus and see this Brandeis team continue to improve
