It's hard to maintain a D1 wrestling program on a D3 budget.
F&M has one wrestler who qualified for nationals at the D! level this year.
If you look at F&M's schedule they still attempt to compete with Navy, Army, and Lehigh.
That's one of the reason that F&M is now know for basketball.
GO DIPS.

Congrats to DeSales! Elite Eight is awesome baby. Let's keep it going on to the Final Four! I hope everyone is excited because I am pumped.

Just got in from the game. Give a ton of credit to UMASS- Dartmouth. I felt they weren't real skilled offensively, but they played an intense hard nosed pressure defense which had DeSales on the ropes. The game swung late when DeSales put the clamps down defensively, and didn't allow the Corsairs (cool nickname) to get into their pressure defenses. DeSales got into more of an offensive groove, and got big shots down the stretch from seemingly everyone who was on the court in the last 8 minutes.

Hats off to Coach Coval and the Bulldogs, tomorrow night will be a fun one regardless of who they get!

Thanks, Chair, because was trying to do a bit of an impression of a college color commentator.

Congrats on a great season by DeSales. The students who made the trip to Lancaster were the most impressive visiting group I've seen in Mayser, making lots of noise but also handling themselves well. Good luck next season.

ditto
The fans I talked to in line were very good representatives of DeSales.

RW and Reserved Seat,

Thanks for the kind words. I was equally impressed with our fans. That group of students did an outstanding job all weekend. They even stayed last night till the team left the gym and cheered them as they walked onto the bus.

Good Luck to you guys next weekend.

Congrats to Darnell Braswell for the All-Region 1st Team and to Ed Lapinski for getting 3rd Team. It's nice to see good representation from the conference in the Region.

Also congrats to James Jones of Del Val for making 3rd team.

second that... well done

Coach K · March 22, 2009, 08:23:07 AM

No All-American Status for Darnell Braswell however? Sean Burton, who he pretty much locked up at Ithaca gets 3rd team, and he gets nothing? Something smells here in my opinion.

Congratulations on a great year for DeSales, and to Ed and Darnell for being all Region!
