Congratualtions to both RMC and BC!  Having two teams in the Sweet Sixteen should give the ODAC some positive press.  Good luck to both!

Well I must say I do not understand how the NCAA comes up with where to play???? It cannot be based on record, ranking, or strength of schedule, so it has to be they write each school name on a piece of paper and then whoever brought the 6 pack gets to pick a piece of paper...and PRESTO, that is the school that is hosting!   :-\
RMC has a long journey head ahead of them, but no excuses...right!! They will do great with all of us back here in VA land pullin for them! ;D

Congratulations to BC and RMC!!! Two teams from the ODAC in the Sweet 16....that is SWEET!

I just back from New York after watching the Eagles soar to two straight victories over two higher ranking teams. Bates was ranked #24 in the d3hoops.com poll and Baruch was the higher seed then BC even though they had the same record. During the game Baruch was the home team.

Everyone on the BC squad did an outstanding job! Katy Herr controlled both games as the floor general as she recorded 14 assists and just three turnovers in 83 minutes of action over the weekend. Herr also recorded a double-double on Friday night with 11 points and 11 rebounds (she was 1 assist shy of a triple-double). Herr has now recorded over 500 rebounds for her career!

Shannon Scales was definiely the hero Friday night hitting two three-pointers in a span of 10 seconds to give BC the overtime win (if you have not heard about the game you should definitely read about it on d3hoops because it was the most incredible finish I have ever seen! it was an instant classic!)

Marsha Kinder averaged 24.5 points for the weekend while Amy Childs had two solid games, including a 19 point 11 rebound performance on Saturday!

With these two wins the Eagles are now 24-6 on the season, which matches Bridgewater's all-time win total for a single season. The last and only other time the Eagles recorded 24 wins in a season is during the 1997-98 campaign when Coach Willi lead BC to a 24-5 overall record and a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16.

BC will more then likely fly to Southern Maine, whom they will play Friday. If the Eagles fly then they will probably leave Wednesday. I wonder if a fan bus will make the 12 hour trip???

As you can see, BC has their work cut out for them...but they can do it! Souther Maine is currently 29-1 and ranked #1 in the d3hoops.com poll. What an upset that would be if the Eagles can continue to make some noise in this tournament!!!

You got to play at home last year against a similar group of teams. Take turns. Be nice.

Llama: Thanks -- I assume you mean my call of Bridgewater as the Cinderella and not the call of the game, that was handled by Mark Simon and Paul Schreel.

When does BC move into the Top 25? No guarantees they will, but if they do, it will be in the next poll, which is taken after the end of the tournament.

The women rotate sites South Region , West Region ... .  The way that women think, "be nice and share", it is perfectly logical for them to decide to do it that way.

Next year, the South Region will be paired with the Great Lakes.

After seeing the great injustice done to Miss Coll on the men's side in the name of travel and geographic proximity, I can see the merit in rotating the sites.

Miss College is 29-1, 4th highest QOWI, #1 seed in the bracket, and is being made to fly for the sectionals because it saves the NCAA a net 2 plane flights.

Please go the Men's Multi-region Board and vote on the greater injustice.

R-M gets to play in Tacoma, Washington!!!!  At least they get to fly.  At Pacific Lutheran College.

Congrats to BC and RMC.  Let's hope both can advance to the Final Four!!  This speaks volumes for the ODAC.  Keep going girls.

Congrats to Bridgewater and Randolph-Macon!!!

I hope the Eagles take a "we belong" attitude into the Southern Maine game.  If they feel overwhelmed by the number one ranking and home court advantage, it won't be much of a game.  I'm confident our girls can do it!

Bridgewater will play Southern Maine at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, while Mary Washington will play Bowdoin at 5:30 p.m.

In their sectional, the Eagles have three of the top eight teams in the country [No. 1, 5, 8], with a combined record of 86-4.  Wow!

We (Bridgewater) are currently looking into that.  I'll post something as soon as we know.

Definitely a GREAT game tonight in Ashland... I'm pulling for homecourt advantage for the Jackets next weekend so I can make it down to VA again! Congrats to Silva on breaking the men's ODAC record tonight - seriously they need to retire her number after this year!!!

You are right.  #11 should be retired. Holding ODAC career records for points, assists and steals for both women and men it is obvious she is the best ball player to ever come through ODAC. ODAC and D3 have been very lucky to have had such a talent the past 4 years. :)

Hoping to see 2 teams from Virginia meet again Saturday night in Maine!  :D

You got it Pat! I have to listen to my hometown boy Coach Bill.

And by the way, Cindarella is your call if I remember correctly:
D3Football  = Wesley
D3Women's Hoops = Bridgewater

Are you going to Vegas anytime soon?  ;D ;D ;D
