WBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Blaster]

Thanks.  I had heard Dallas was joining but thought Colorado was leaving due to the distance.  Dallas is certainly easier travel than Indiana (for some I guess).  The SCAC has done a nice job of managing its conference.  I am excited the bball season is underway.  Playing D1 teams early is rough but it also provides a good measuring stick.

HX drops a game by 2 pts thanks to a lot of turnovers and missed free throws.  HX juniors still trying to adapt to the system of the new coach.  This game should have been an easy win but I believe HX has the talent to win the conference division. 

Westminister played today as well and their fast break and press was very impressive.  Great point guard.

Lady Colonels split a pair of games in their tournament this weekend. Howard Payne came away with 10-point victory over Centre on Friday evening. Saturday the ladies defeated Berry College 73-60. Maggie Pruitt scored 23 against Berry while junior post-player, Lauren Huter recorded a double-double - points & rebounds.

Colorado College leaving the SCAC?

That rumor has not surfaced.

Colorado College could move to D-II (Rocky Mountain AC) and cure some travel budget and missed classtime issues and keep Men's Ice Hockey and Women's Soccer.

Lady Colonels clicked on all cylinders tonight in a homecourt win over College of Mt. St. Joseph 75-44.  Maggie Prewitt scored 17 in leading a balanced attack as Centre jumped out to a 21-point 1st half lead and never looked back. The Ladies are 3-1 going into the Thanksgiving break.

Happy Thanksgiving!

CC leaving SCAC must have been a misunderstanding from a conversation I heard about a team leaving.  I thought they were talking about CC because I didn't think DePauw would leave.  I hate to see them go.  HX heads into the break with a nice win.  This team went 20-5 last year and went to Italy this summer and beat 3 of 4 regional all star teams that Villanova had went 2-2 the week before.  They have good talent but are really struggling to execute the new coach's system.  Coach Cummins made some personnel changes to fit her system and it looked more in sync.  They enter the break at 2-3 but should be 5-0.  It will be interesting to see if they continue good play after the Thanksgiving break.  I think the Coach has them on the right track but time will tell.  Happy Thanksgiving.

Or Hovland.... They could have used her height this last road trip....

[tigerbacker]

Looking at the Trinity website Hovland is on the roster but Goodell and Marzella are not, anybody know what happened, did they leave school, transfer, quit, get kicked off the team what???

[SCACwatcher]

Some of Trinity's very best talent has not been on the bench which includes Goodell, Marzella and a very capable post Hovland. I assume they quit. Only one senior graduated from the program each of the last two years. Good talent remains but loss of good players and poor stewardship will be hard to overcome.
I wish Coach Sattelle the best and hope to see him back soon.

I had the honor of interview/talking with Coach Janie Joseph-Richard on Hoopsville and came away knowing her team was better in her presence, if not everyone that came in contact with her. I was very inspired by her and what she stood for not only in fighting cancer but also someone who commanded a lot of respect in part because of her dedication to coaching and trying to improve her alma mater. My hats off to her and my deepest condolences to her family, her team, and her college.

The Ladies of Centre open the SCAC schedule with a homecourt win against Rhodes 65-49. Chelsea Benham led the Colonels with 12 points & 9 rebounds. Angela Tronzo pulled down 10 boards all in the opening stanza. Rhodes' Lakeya McGill tallied 20 to lead the Lynx.

Peeked in on Trinity-Southwestern. SU leads by 10 late in the 1st half. DePauw trounced BSU.
