Maggie Prewitt set the Centre single-game scoring record tonight with 37 points in an 80-50 win over Southwestern. She managed 8 rebounds and 4 assists to go with her record game. Chelsea Goodman pitched in 11 in a supporting role. This was a much needed win for the Lady Colonels after Friday's loss to Trinity.

Congrats on Centre's win over Southwestern. In reviewing the results of this weekend's games, it appears that the teams are starting to tighten up. There were so many close ones with Austin and Hendrix winning close ones and Oglethorpe upsetting CC. Outside of Depauw, everyone is beginning to play on a competitive level with one another. The three way run for the top seed in the West between Austin, Hendrix and Trinity will be a great one to follow. I have noticed over the last two weeks that the level of physical play keeps increasing. Keep the news coming.

So just as an update, after grabbing 21 rebounds (in only 28 minutes...unreal!) yesterday, Katy Williams is 22 boards away from tying and 23 away from breaking the SCAC career rebounding record. Of course with DePauw and Centre coming to Sherman this weekend it'll be tough, but there's a pretty good chance she gets the record this coming weekend. We'll see what happens...

In other AC news, the 'Roos have won 10 in a row and are 14-3. They're on pace to have their best record since 03-04 and 04-05, when they went 18-8 both seasons as members of the ASC. This weekend will be tough, though.

From the News of the Weird category, a posting on the Sewanee alumni Twitter account reported that last weekend's game between the Sewanee and AC women's teams had to be paused for a few moments as one of the Mountain's canine residents decided they wanted to come and join the people having all the fun on the court:

Many thanks to the PR and Marketing folks at Sewanee for publishing the picture to Flickr.

Great pic!

Any predictions on this weekend?

pbrooks3 · January 28, 2010, 09:38:35 PM

Blaster the crystal ball for tomorrow's games looks something like this:

Hendrix wins by 11 over Oglethorpe
Sewanee gets shocked at Millsaps by 3
Trinity over BSC by 12
Rhodes gets a nice road win by 5
Austin slays the DePauw giant @ home by 4
Centre ekes out a tight one by 3

jekelish · January 29, 2010, 06:59:35 PM

No Katy Williams for Austin College tonight, so slaying the DePauw giant will take one great effort from the rest of the 'Roos tonight.

pbrooks3 · January 29, 2010, 08:43:47 PM

Sorry to hear that Austin won't have Williams for DePauw tonight. Might have to switch gears & pick DePauw!

Chelsea Goodman leads Centre with 14 as the Lady Colonels have opened up a 21-point lead at the half 44-23. Colonels are shooting the ball well, getting to the line a lot and are outrebounding CC by 3. Keep up the good work ladies.

jekelish · January 29, 2010, 08:58:31 PM

Final score from Sherman: DePauw 69, AC 38. The 'Roos just could never get things going offensively, and they ended up shooting something like 25% from the field. I know it's not an individual game, but the 'Roos were just totally out of sorts without Katy tonight. Completely changed the game not having her in there, as the Tigers just dominated in the paint tonight and took advantage of a lot of AC mistakes.

pbrooks3 · January 29, 2010, 09:48:23 PM

Lady Colonels were strong tonight at CC as they cruised to an 89-62 win holding the home team to 29% shooting. Centre shot 53% from the field. Goodman broke out of her mini-scoring slump with 24 including 3-5 from behind the arc. She had 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Maggie Prewitt followed up her record scoring night with a solid 19, 7 boards and 6 assists. Lauren Huter scored 15 and Amanda Stovall tallied 12. A very nice road start for Centre - a high octane performance in the high altitude.

Congrats to the Millsaps Majors on last night's victory. Maybe this is a signal of things to come!

Last night the road teams from the East played the home teams of the West 3-3 - DePauw, Centre and Rhodes got the wins. This in a way shows some of the dominance of certain teams in the SCAC versus the men's side where the East scored no wins last night against the West.

Sorry however that Austin wasn't at full strength last night against DPU without Williams in the lineup. How much this affected the outcome of the game, I can only speculate. I think DePauw still wins the game, but not by 30+ points. What is Katie's status for the remainder of the weekend?

pbrooks3 · January 31, 2010, 01:48:36 PM

Centre Ladies are thumping a Williamsless Austin at the half 41-21. Prewitt leads Colonels with 11 and Goodman has 8. Redden has 7 for Austin. Think Centre, like DePauw, caught a break in Texas this weekend.

jekelish · January 31, 2010, 02:54:09 PM

Final from Sherman: CC 84, AC 67. Have to like the fight that the 'Roos put up in the second half. They were down 52-26 at one point and came back to cut it to 77-65 late in the game, all without both Williams and Shayna Clardy, another starter and one of the team's best scorers.

I came away extremely impressed by how the team played in the second half when they could have just as easily folded up.
