Interestiing it appears the losers of the conference get to keep playing...MCLA will play in the New England Championship Tournament..it would be great if Roanoke, Bridgewater could play in a Virginia Championship Tournament...look at the extra practices a team gets if they play after the conference tournament...NCAA''s etc. ( I think some Pa and Md conferences do the same.

Is there a link to any website for the NECT? I'm with Brookland, great idea.

If you do google search of MCLA college or go to web site of school RMC is playing, you can find.

Just click on the site I have posted and you can read, as well as get entire schedule of the tournament. I noted couple years ago schools up in Pa were playing in this type of thing for those who didn't make the NCAA's.

I can't find after research that any schools in Md,Pa are now going to such tournaments. Normally their web site will say..."they lost in conference tournament and will not go to NCAA's ...then say they are seeded 6th in ....State Tournament...New England's tournament will end this weekend, so it wouldn't affect school classes so much.

BALTIMORE, Md. -- Franklin & Marshall ended its watershed season with a 71-59 loss to Johns Hopkins in the Centennial Conference semifinals Saturday afternoon. It was the furthest any Diplomat squad had reached in the 18 years of the CC playoffs

A RMC connection: Kirsten Richter, was an assistant coach at RMC for 4 years and then this year went back to Franklin & Marshall as head coach.. Molley Ariail is serving as her assistant. It appears they did very well.

You are probably thinking of the ECAC's. It is primarily a New England phenomenon but stretches to western PA and DC.

Appears that is it. Is there any other like it? Seems like a good idea to some of us...ofcourse we just hate to see the kids stop playing.

Lebanon Valley held a 46-40 edge on the glass and hit 28-of-37 free throws to Randolph-Macon's 2-of-6 mark from the line.

WOW

What happened there?

ECAC has New England, Metro (NY/NJ?) and South (DC schools included) brackets- The next obvious Southward expansion is Virginia

We weren't there so we don't know the story, but it's hard to play in national competition 2 nights in a row on the road, no matter where you are.

A loss is a loss and we're sorry to see it! Both R-MC teams are now out of the tournaments, BUT we are so proud of our players and all they accomplished this season. Especially for the women, who were clearly underestimated in preseason, congrats on your great winning season!

For the 2 seniors, Jennifer O'Briant and Katie Williams, ya'll have brought a lot of joy and pride to your college and to your fans. Thanks for 4 great years & best wishes for your future.

Can't wait 'til next year to see what the 4 rising seniors & some very talented newcomers have in store for us! GO JACKETS!!!

Seriously, I saw that there was a technical called against RMC as well. Must have been some serious one-sided calls. I commented earlier in the season that Macon had lost a game at the free throw line and it was brought to my attention that many of the fouls occurred late in the game, but looks like the edge in the foul shooting clearly kept LVC in the game and was exacerbated in the last couple minutes.

BAK4LVC · March 06, 2011, 04:39:43 PM

I was at the game last night. I was confused by the game plan from Randolph-Macon, who had a size advantage. They spent the entire first half shooting 3's and not attacking the basket. That's where the foul disparity started, since they were not attacking the basket at all. In the second half, the threes were not falling, so they attacked more. Wieczorek is a really nice player who just didn't get near enough touches last night. R-M fans can take some solace that the Yellow Jackets look like a major contender for next year with as young as they were.

The technical foul was garbage, from my perspective. The officials made a shooting foul call under the LVC basket, but didn't know who the foul was on. Coach LaHaye was extremely vocal with them at that point, but no T was called. When the refs got together and then called the foul on someone who wasn't near the play, she blew a gasket. That's where she got the T. It was frustration boiling over, but if the refs would have known who they were calling the foul against, it would have been avoided.

wmjofva says:
Lebanon Valley took 15 foul shots in 1st half and 22 in 2nd; RMC took 1 in 1st and 5 in 2nd. The RMC offense is set around the 3 pt shot, so that is normal, if they make, they win, if they don't, they lose. What isn't normal is the 37-6...even if it were 7th grade.

I'm hoping Lebanon Valley does well and they should as it appears they will contine to have home court advantage tho the final 8.

Congratulations Jordan Burkholder- First team all-region:

http://www.d3hoops.com/awards/all-region/2010-11/south-women

Can anyone explain how Colorado College is in the SOUTH region?

Pat Coleman · March 15, 2011, 04:18:18 PM

They're a member of the SCAC which is almost all in the South, so I slot them in the South for All-Region purposes. Otherwise their kids are being voted on by West SIDs whom basically have never seen them play, nor have they seen the teams she is playing against.

hoopstermom · August 13, 2011, 07:54:47 AM

A few fall schedules posted, but no rosters. Actually I think this is the earliest I've seen R-MC's up in a number of years. Tough games right out of the gate with strong out of conference foes Marymount, Christopher Newport, Mary Washington, then starting ODAC play with Eastern Mennonite. Only positive factor is that all are home games for the Jackets.
