Shocked Kate has yet to post something.

LeighAnn Burke poured in 46 (10 three's) in the win over Del. Val. on Tuesday. For those in attendance...I am sure it was a joy to watch.

For those not in attendance. Take my word for it...you missed something special.

Burke would've single-handedly won the Wilkes-Misericordia game tonight: 37-37 after regulation.

She is amazing, BJ - incredible quick release & deadly aim. It's always fun to drive to Center Valley, we just live about forty minutes away in Easton, so you guys are our second favorite team in the Freedom, & we will be following your play-offs. Hopefully beyond that, play in the NCAA's. i was proud of my Aggies last night, too. Mandi stepping up with Steph out, & all of them playing with a never say it's over attitude. Nice crowd on hand as well. We will see more of DeSale's this year, i'm sure. For now, GO Lady Bulldogs!

Just noticed 6 PA teams ranked in the top 25 on D3 Hoops. That should make Kate happy.

Is this a first?

09 York (Pa.)
13 Messiah
20 Muhlenberg
21 Washington and Jefferson
24 DeSales
25 Scranton

Hello Mytwocents! DeSale's & Messiah make me happy, MAC First, Last, & Always!! i predict that not too far down the line, more teams will be joining this League. It's just a gut feeling - we'll see. Mighty MAC!

Kate:

Does your "gut" tell you which teams might be joining the MAC? (Unfortunately, in recent years, except for DeSales and Messiah, the MAC hasn't been all that "mighty.")

Warren,

DeSales - Sweet 16 in 07-08
Messiah - National Title Game in 07-08

How much mightier can we get -

? You can't expect the whole conference to be in the NCAA Tournament can you?

Hello Warren, yes, it's just me, but i see teams like Marywood, Centenary, & others in the 100 mile or so radius at least taking a longer look at the MAC. It would be very interesting to see how our newcomers feel, Arcadia, Manhattanville, Misericordia, Eastern. Do they appreciate the competition? Proximity is about the same, i suppose. i just find the MAC very exciting, & i do agree with BJ. Having the two teams from both sides in the NCAA's is incredible - just look at all the D3 Colleges out there. i still say MIGHTY MAC!!!

kate · February 18, 2009, 05:59:43 PM

Yikes, i sincerely did NOT mean to exclude newcomer, Alvernia!

OK, Kate and DSU SID, from now on my motto is Go Mighty MAC. Let none say you're slack.

kate · February 19, 2009, 10:33:25 AM

Warren, that's the best! Now, hopefully, the MAC will live up to it!

The only challenge with this is that the Immaculata Mighty Macs might have already taken this.

Glad to have you on board with us now Warren -

kate · February 19, 2009, 12:43:15 PM

Mailsy, wouldn't the Mighty MAC's be plural? Mighty MAC is singular. Lefty 2 will you be headed to Doylestown for the Aggie/Cougar matchup? It's Del Val's Senior Day, and sadly their final game of the season. Misericordia is in the play-offs, correct? Where did this 08-09 year go?

lefty2 · February 19, 2009, 12:58:00 PM

Kate,

You are correct, Misericordia has clinched a playoff berth.

I will not be attendance this weekend.
