Rereading that story on the link, help me out, when did Transy become NAIA? I thought the guys were midwest region and girls central region in D3. Are they transitioning out of the NCAA?

Bard, I believe that you are correct, and the story is wrong.

Transy came to the Heartland CAC from the NAIA, and their first full year in the NCAA was 2004-05.

The NAIA website does not show Transy either.

Transy is D3. Bad thing, too, as they clocked both the women and the men from Murvul.

I agree that getting depth at point will be really important as the season develops and the promotion of Brown makes sense to me.

Well, I'll hold out for a "late start" for Nat. I think she's worth the wait! BUT, the season starts earlier than Feb. so next year, she'd better "show up and show out" earlier!!

I wondered if not only the change in coaches was making a difference, but maybe not being in shape from last year's injury was also to blame. Anyway, I'm gonna patiently wait on her to come around because I think she does have what it takes to be what Pardue thinks she can be.

I'm new to this D3 tournament format. If Maryville don't win the conference tournament (which they should), can they still qualify for an at large bid to go to the NCAA D3 tournament?

Nice article in the Knox News Sentinel about Coach Pardue and the Lady Scots!!

If it works like the men's side, there are a few Pool C bids to the tournament from leagues that have an automatic bid for the champ.

If Maryville and Piedmont both end up with one Conference loss, how do they determine the top seed for the Conference Tournament, coin flip....?

scottiedoug · February 01, 2007, 02:40:20 PM

I cannot think of a better way but that does not mean that is how they'll do it!

The ASC uses a point differential up to 10 points.

Thanks for the info Mr. Turner.

I didn't realize Piedmont had a conference loss (against Huntingdon) until Alex set me straight while we were discussing tournament time coming up. So the Feb. 11 game in Maryville will be for Conference title and Conference Tournament top seed. You got to love this time of year!!!!!

How is Alex's rehab going?

Thanks for asking.

Her rehab is going great. Rehab peeps say she's about 3 weeks ahead of schedule on their rehab schedule progression chart.....on things like her motion, range, strength, exercises, etc....for the amount of time gone by since surgery. She's working very hard. She's attends every practice, watching and learning and travels with the team. Coach Pardue has done a great job making her feel she is still very much a part of the team, even though she is not playing. She's looking forward to next year! Already talking about her workout schedule after her doctor's release. Got alot of work to do! It will be almost 8 months since she last played.

Good to hear the rehab is going well. Beth Reed's departure will be a great opportunity.

Just got in from Maryville - Milligan. Scots were down 10 at the half (35 - 25) and looking out of it. Second half was a whole different story and M'ville won 72-59 (I think). One turnover in the second half, way better defense, and the shots fell. I do not know how good Milligan is but they are above .500 and are a scholarship program (NAIA) with several nice players. Natalie Munday did not play (ankle). I am beginning to think the Scots are becoming quite potent. Piedmont and Tennessee Wesleyan (NCAA Div. 2) will illuminate!

GottaHaveHeart · February 06, 2007, 06:45:38 PM

Probably the best half they have played all year with the exception of the Virginia Wesleyan game. Nice win for the ladies.
