BB: NCAC: North Coast Athletic Conference

[Gramps]

Woo goes down in game 1,  4-1. Leading 9-7 in game 2 after 7.

Coin toss?? Tales never fails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess tails never fails. Scots had the luck. That being said, a coin flip is no way to determine who should advance.
Maybe next year we can play rock, paper, scissors.

Anyways, good luck to Wooster. The team needs to elevate their game if they want to make it to the NCaa Regionals.

"old scott", YOU MAY HAVE SAID THIS IN JEST, BUT A GIRL'S SOCCER HS COACH ACTUALLY USED "ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS" TO SELECT HIS VARSITY TEAM LAST YEAR EVEN IF SOME OF THE LOSERS WERE ACTUALLY BETTER THAN THE WINNERS.  HE IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL COACH, TO HIS CREDIT, BUT A GUESSING GAME TO CHOOSE A TEAM?   JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN DONE.

Luva Gramps. It was said in jest.

Wooster takes down Depauw 4-1 in game 1 of the NCAC playoffs.

OWU takes down Keyon 9-4. They will play Wooster tomorrow at noon.

Kudos to both the OWU and WOO teams.  Both were fighting like crazy just to qualify for the tourney and then both come through with game one wins.  Wooster especially, from coin flip to big upset of a quality DePauw team. 

For the "traditional" mideast and NCAC fans, there is something which just seems "right with the world" when it is OWU and Wooster playing in the winners bracket game of the NCAC tourney!

Good luck to both teams today!

Wooster beats OWU 5-2. They are in the "Kings Seat."

Are the Scots getting hot at the right time of year? Woo needs to keep their focus. We saw what happened 2 years ago against St. Thomas for the National Championship. Scots needed to win 1 of 2 and dropped them both. Keep fighting, take nothing for granted.

Congrats to coach Tim Pettorini on win 1,000 at Wooster and in DIII ball.

[Dr. Acula]

1,000 wins at one school...absolutely insane.  That's mind boggling.  That type of sustained success is also why Wooster and Marietta are DIII royalty.  Congrats to Coach P.  Amazing accomplishment.

[old scot]

Yes, it is insane. I never thought coach P would still be at Wooster. He is committed to the school and the program.

Sad to say, I was behind the dish for win No.1, hence the name "old scot."

Anyone know the plan? I'd think there would be a press release however....

Anyone know the plan? I'd think there would be a press release however....

Plan for what?

DePauw eliminated OWU this morning and is leading Wooster 3-2 in the top of the 6th in game 1 of the championship series.  If the Tigers hold on for the win, there will be a winner take all game 2.

If Wooster happens to win and get the automatic bid into the NCAA tournament, is DePauw's resume good enough to get them an at-large bid?

[EttaFan1]

Based on their rpi and their regional ranking I would say they are a strong pool c contender.

[OshDude]

This seesaw championship game is highly entertaining to my ears. Can't imagine what it's like for those with a rooting interest.

[wooscotsfan]

Congratulations to Wooster on beating DePauw in the 2nd game today and winning the NCAC Championship with the automatic bid into the NCAA tourney! 

Scots were big underdogs in the tournament this year and still got it done.  Congrats to Pettorini on 1,000+ wins!

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Congratulations to Wooster. your team pictched and played well. Good luck in the regional. I hope you go far.
I am hoping that DePauw getting to the championship game and taking one of them gives them a good shot at a Pool C bid.

One more congratulations goes out to Kenyon. Even though they were two and out in the tourney, they had a good season and have something to build upon. With their young pitching, we should continue to see them in the tourney, or close. They seem to have at least caught up to Alleheny. Hopefully Coach Burdette can keep bringing in quality recruits.

Congratulations to all the NCAC players earning honors. Hard to believe the season has pretty much come and gone already.

I know Mathie of Wooster was hurt, I just wasn't aware of what he hurt. What did he injure?
