Covenant gets a tough draw against Shenandoah to open the South Regional. It will be interesting to see if SU throws their ace or if they think they can beat the Scots with a No. 2 or 3 starter. CC is a dangerous team in the early rounds with strong starting pitching and offense.

South Region / Re: BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

Ferrum rallies and beats Piedmont 4-3 today. This means that everyone but Covenant and Ferrum have been eliminated from the conference race.
Covenant holds the tiebreaker over Ferrum by virtue of taking 2 of 3 a couple weeks ago. So, Covenant will have to win at least 4 of 5 in conference play to finish the season (2 today at Maryville and 3 next weekend vs. Averett). Ferrum is finished in USA South play.

Covenant is on a roll right now. Winners of 11 of last 12 in conference play and 14 of 16 overall. The only team that holds a tiebreaker over the Scots is Huntingdon.
This week will be huge, though. Covenant plays Methodist for three in various locales in North Carolina for the Spring Festival. If Covenant wins another series, it will be really tough for any team to catch up.

The conference looks to be strong this season. Huntingdon, Covenant, Piedmont, Methodist and Ferrum have all gotten off to great starts. A few of those schools even have some solid non-conference wins.
Covenant swept NC Wesleyan this weekend. Bishops have not played well in conference play yet having been swept in each of the first two weekends. Covenant scored 27 runs in the three games and gave up just two runs in the doubleheader on Saturday.
A couple of really good series this next weekend as Covenant goes at Huntingdon and Methodist hosts Piedmont.

Covenant gets an upset today and helps out Maryville in the process. Scots beat LaGrange 77-72. Almost gave the game away in the final minute, but still hung on. Great win for Covenant.

I'd love to see an upset, but Covenant just can't put together a complete 40 minute game. First 7 minutes of the first meeting we were up 16-5 (or something like that) and then just went stone cold for the rest of the half and got blown out.

I for one hope Huntington and Covenant find league homes. It is hard to be independent and Huntington is not geographically well situated...it is a very long distance to Christopher Newport and the high tone remnants of the SCAC are unlikely to befriend the Hawks. They have been a good D3 member for quite a while. Covenant, on the other hand, just recently became D3, and may be sorry about it now (for reasons other than having gotten drubbed at Maryville Wednesday night.)
Actually Covenant is very happy to have moved out of the NAIA and into D3. Sure we have some conference issues now, but I'm confident that those will be resolved by the time we are full-time members in the 2013-14 season.
And hey, the Scots get another shot at Maryville on Wednesday night to redeem themselves. Although, it looks like we will be without one of our big men.
