Found an interesting video from the San Antonio-Express News detailing how Trinity coach Amie Bradley manages the balance between coaching and raising her five young children.

Doesn't look as though an upset is coming in the Rhodes-Trinity game. TU is up 33-24 at the break. The seeds are pretty much playing to the script.  Rhodes looks out of synch and simply happy to have earned 4th position in the east. No 3-balls are going in for Rhodes. Trinity looks determined to get on to the semis. Prado-Matthews looks her usual self again and has been hitting 8 to 10 footers from around the circle. Don't see much chance that the Lynx will make the 2nd half interesting.  Rhodes needs to get their guards going or they'll lose by 20.

Good call, pbrooks3 - final TU 81, Rhodes 60.   KPM had 19 and 14 and Danielle Hubenak scored 22 points, pulled down eight rebounds,  and had seven assists.  Jenilee Pate had 12 to lead the Lynx.

Hendrix got within five with 4:08 to play, but DPU goes on a 14-1 run to close out the game and wins 70-52.   For DePauw, Andrea Travelstead had 15 points and 10 rebounds, Emily Marshall 15 rebounds (10 offensive!), and Katie Aldrich scored 12.   Hendrix got 21/9 from Christina Byler and 12/7 from Samantha Clark.

Anyone have the link for the Oglethorpe women's game?  I bought the pass but can't find the video link anywhere... it was there earlier today?

Colorado College up at half 22-21. Pretty ugly in the 1st half.  Huter is a bring spot for the Colonels with 8. Need to get her more touches around the hoop. Goodman can drive it too.

Everything played to the script on the SCAC quarter finals today with one exception - #3 in the east (Centre) beat #2 in the west (Colorado College).  This was another signature win for Centre pulling out a win in the tournament after a solid regular season finish this year.  The Colonels support crew was impressive tonight as well with many parents at the game along with the boys team cheering hard the entire second half when the Colonels put the game away against a very impressive CC squad.  Defense was the name of the game tonight as the Colonels held Colorado College to under 30% shooting for the game.  Centre's big three were big tonight with Goodman leading with 23 points, Huter putting up 18 and Pruett having 15. 

I believe the Lady Colonels are excited to have another chance to play Oglethorpe tomorrow afternoon after a tight 4-point loss last weekend at Centre.  It's fun and worth the effort to play on at this point.   Good luck Centre!

We've got a high level D3 game going now with Trinity and DePauw tied at half 45-45. Impressive display of fast-paced b-ball and fine shooting. Not sure both teams can maintain the frenetic pace of the opening, but we'll see.  Great basketball the way it's meant to be played.

Trinity defeats Depauw 98-80 ... which surprisingly is not the team's high output of the season.   Regardless, getting nearly to the century mark against a fine team like DePauw is unexpected. 

KPM played all 40 minutes, scored 27 points (15-of-15 from the line) and recorded 12 rebounds; Danielle Hubenak had 19 points, and Ali Marzella added 16 in 23 minutes.  DePauw was led by Emily Marshall's 15 points and 14 boards as well as Cassie Pruzin's 14 points and ten assists.  Coming off of yesterday's big game, Andrea Travelstead was in foul trouble all game and ended up fouling out after just 13 minutes and two points. 

Trinity shot 56% to DPU's 40%, enjoyed a 27-13 FT advantage, and had 7 turnovers to DePauw's 10.  DPU won the rebounding battle, 34-30, including a 16-5 edge on the offensive end.

Trinity Women executed at a high level for 40 minutes in defeating DePauw.  They must have shot 75% from the field in the final 20 minutes.  I would not have predicted this today - honestly I thought DePauw would take control in the 2nd half, but it didn't happen. Wonderful ballgame to follow as a spectator. Now on to Oglethorpe-Centre. Hoping it's as thrilling as the 1st game.

Good news for Oglethorpe, as well - Greensboro lost.  Obviously they want to win the whole darn thing, but they'll be #1 in South regardless of the outcome.

The just announced the SCAC Postseason awards.  Congratulations to Melanie Auguste of Colorado College for being named Player of The Year.  Coach Wendy Austin Robinson of Centre was Coach of the Year and Hannah Brooks from Oglethorpe was Defensive Player of the Year while Maggie Prewitt was Newcomer of the Year

Also congrats to my OU girls  Anna Findley and Katie Kulavic (First team) and Tina Grace (Second team)... now lets take care of business in the second half.

OU played liked the champs they are with a 20 point win today. Superior offensive execution and passing made for a relatively easy time of it for Oglethorpe. OU got steady performances from all of their seniors - great team effort. Tina Grace was a highlight film by herself today.

Centre team played with heart and passion, but simply ran into a buzzsaw today. Congrats to Centre seniors playing their final game today, Rebecca Rhule and Alison Denbow. It's been a pleasure to watch you both play and mature over the past four years.

Great Game for OU Women today!  Go Petrels!  Very proud of the overall effort of this team and the recognition for Hannah as Defensive Player of the Year is well deserved!

I have to say that I am shocked that Coach Sattele has been passed over for Coach of the Year for the 4th straight year!  What does this man have to do?  He turned a team that never had a winning season into a national powerhouse and has been snubbed 4 straight years...last year, the reasoning was that OU lost to DePauw 2 times (I realize that OU lost a 3rd time after the COTY voting was completed).  I don't want to take anything away from the Centre Coach, she has done a fine job, but nothing at the level of Coach Sattele (this year, 14-0 at home; wins over DePauw, Thomas More, St. Norbert, Transylvania, Centre (twice); ranked as high as #2 (top 11 all season); achieved 100 career victories at Centre last week (reached milestone quicker than Coach Huffman, a multi-year winner of this award); took team to Final Four in 2008)!!

Now, if he has taken himself out of the running for the award, forgive my ranting, but if he hasn't, it's a terrible injustice.  Let's hope that the OU Women can give him a Conference Championship on Sunday!

Scott,

Don't worry...these are the same group of coaches who didn't vote Russ Churchwell player of the year when he lead the league in scoring and rebounding a few years back. The bottom line is the powerhouses in the SCAC don't like OU very much and never will, they beleive the Petrels bring down the conference as a whole.

There is no doubt that Coach Sattele should have won at LEAST 1 coach of the year honor in these fours years. Getting to the conference championship game 3 years in row, a final four appearacne and qualifying for the NCAA four striaght years is still not good enough for the coach of the year?? Geez.

Either way the Petrels will head to the NCAA for the 4th straight year and probably will get to host this time around. I'm not sure if they will get back to the Final Four but its been one helluva of a four year ride!

Go Petrels and bring back the SCAC Championship!!
