WBB: Northwest Conference

[Laserty]

Did George Fox go home this week. Just wondering.

[gfuandrew]

Yes they came home...I think they leave for michigan around wednesday

Now that the women's final four is set lets bring up the topic once again about the lack of respect for the northwest conference!!  Only one team in yet, Wash U., who is in the final four, comes over here to washington state and loses to our #4 and #6 team??  Another example of how tough this conference  truly is!!

We have a special interview with Coach Rueck, Kristen Shielee and Keisha Gordon posted on the Daily Dose as part of our Road to Holland coverage.

Congrats to the George Fox Bruins on winning the 2009 Women's Basketball National Championship.  Your young squad has achieved a perfect season and brought the Pacific coast their first Walnut and Bronze in women's hoop.  Bruins, you have brought the Northwest Conference the respect of the rest of the country in DIII, and you have my respect as well.  Once again, congratulations.

Congrats, Bruins!

First West Region champion since St Thomas in 1991.

Congratulations, George Fox!

[BruinFan]

A historic run by the Bruins. You have represented yourselves, school, community and the Northwest Conference with outstanding play and character. Enjoy every bit of this moment.

I believe they held each of their 5 tournament opponents to a season low for points in a game.

Oglethorpe 56

Congrats to George Fox!!

As a Howard Payne University fan who saw George Fox play Hope last year at our house, I was happy to see them get their revenge and win it all this year.  They definitely earned it for sure this year.

Way to Go!
Thank-you you for bringing Glory to the NWC...once again.

How about a season highlight film on the internet?

Congrats George Fox.

As a Wash. U. fan who was at the championship game, I was of course disappointed in the outcome but you did a great job and deserved the win.

When Wash. U. put together a 15-2 run in the second half, you maintained your composure and pulled through with the victory.

Props to your fans some of who drove 35 hours to watch your historic achievement. We'll be seeing you next year and hopefully the Bears get another shot at the Northwest Conference. We went 0-3 this year and only dropped two other games in the seasons.

Considering all the freshmen on your squad who played big roles, I can only imagine the recruiting power of your school. You'll be in the rankings for a long time.

Well stated quaj!!!  Washington U goes 0-3 against the Northwest Conference and they only get 1 team in the tourney??  Doesn't make much sense to anyone in the Northwest!!!  Maybe the Northwest Conference will get some recognition now that one of us has won the title?  Lets keep our fingers crossed
