WBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Captain_Joe08]

Final:  WLC 78, Benedictine 53.

Expected this to be a much closer game.

Warriors shot 54% from the floor.

Concur on that statement. Warriors dominated throughout. That loss to Edgewood made me a take a step back on that matter. Hell of a season for Coach K and the Warriors.

Benedictine has a new WBB coach:

What happened to Coach Hengesbach at Benedictine? No press release of her leaving, only 2 years in. Anyone know?

Had the honor watching former standout Kristin Schulz and longtime WLC WBB head coach Wayne Smith get inducted into the WLC Athletics Hall of Fame last night.

[WLCALUM83]

St. Norbert 63, Lakeland 43 Final (Green Knights get their in-NACC tenure off to a positive start by limiting Lakeland to one-and-done possessions for a good chunk of the 2nd half while slowly pulling away to get this win at home.

#22 WLC 61, CUW 52 Final (After trailing early, Warriors outscored Falcons 37-21 in 2nd half to get a key win on the road)

Aurora is winning big on IL Tech

Ditto for Benedictine over Dominican

Schedules throughout Division III have become a moving target. We are all used to seeing some postponements or cancelations this time of year thanks to Mother Nature, but these mass changes are giving some PTSD to the 2020-21 "season."

Monday night on Hoopsville, we chat with teams who are still playing for now. Plus those who may deserve a little more attention thanks to tremendous starts to their seasons. And hear from those who are steadily flying slightly under the radar.

We also take a look at all the postponements and cancelations and discuss what may or may not happen as we move forward with the season.

Plus, we react to the latest D3hoops.com Top 25 polls released on Monday.

Thanks for the positive PR last night.

Warrior forward Sam Leisemann and guard Ally Gough did not play against Rockford last Saturday.
It wouldn't surprise me if St. Norbert's Jessica Boerner has a field day scoring in today's match-up.
