Here are directions to St. Mary's if anyone is interested. The traffic on the Capital Beltway can be pretty daunting at rush hour so I would factor that into travel time for anyone making the trip.

Tickets could be availible at the door, but if Seahawk Nation comes out in full force again who nows what can happen, it might be hard to find seating or get in the gym. It was hard to hear anything the final few minutes...an elderly man had an eardrum burst late in the second half of Saturdays game causing a slight delay.

Hail the Hawks.

St Marys punched their ticket to their second Sweet-16 in the last three years with a huge win over Va-Weselyan last night in front of a PACKED house. After a 30 point route of SUNY-Purchase on friday in front of a record crowd the Seahawk momentum kept rolling forward! Maryland's first capital was alive like it hasnt been since Lord Calvert docked The Dove in 1846 claiming the land "SEAHAWK NATION" only to have it renamed by Gov. Dorchester three years later!

The game had the feel of a heavy-weight title bout with two of the best teams in the country going head to head. Weselyn knocked off last years nat'l runner up Richard Stockton the night before and carried their confidence onto saturday but st marys held strong and took it to the ODAC once again. St. Marys is doing a great job representing the CAC hopefully they can keep it going all the way to Salem....which also goes down Route-5 as the hawks were selected to host the next 2 rounds.  St. Marys will play franklin and marshall Friday at 8. Randolph-Macon and Desales will match up on the other side of the bracket at 6.

Hale the Hawks.

How about Nick Brady winning POY? That came as a surprise to me...Griffin really should have won. I think Franz was a close second along with Brady.

And how about Wesley earning an at-large bid! HUGE for the conference!

St. Mary's is hosting the first and second rounds for the first time in school history on friday. They play Purchase College at 8 pm
