Big congratulations to FDU and Lebanon Valley - we know you'll represent the MAC Freedom and Commonwealth Conferences VERY well!!! Way to GO!

Yes, very excited for FDU's first-ever conference title and first NCAA bid. Now, I wonder where we'll end up...

Out-of-state, unfortunately, because of the NCAA ban on NJ schools hosting.

Great win for the Lady Devils....Monarchs had no answer for stopping KD.

Ronk, is the ban due to the recent episode at Kean ? Just for the women or men too ?

ronk · February 25, 2013, 10:08:11 AM

No, it's an NCAA banfor ALL NJ schools hosting because of sports game betting resolution passed.

Did i get that right? FDU "hosts" Widener in Washington, D.C.? Freedom against Commonwealth - interesting. Good luck to all our MAC teams, including Messiah and Lebanon Valley! Exciting weekend!

Kate

Yes, we're pretty excited here...working on travel & logistics now. The other game in the pod involves Catholic and Cabrini...

this year's women's tournament is the same set-up as in past years. four teams travel to one site the first weekend; doubleheader friday night with second round saturday night. therefore, there are 16 hosts ... including messiah and lebvall.

however, the men's side is different -- they play a single game this weekend, so there are 30 host schools.

a huge congrats is due on the commonwealth side -- three teams made the tournament, and that is without there really being an upset in the conference playoffs. way to go, coach alisa and widener!

Some, perhaps mostly Falcon fans, might argue that LVC over Messiah was a bit of an upset.

luvdahoops · February 25, 2013, 10:25:05 PM

any knowledgeable messiah fan would know that lebvall's win may have been an upset -- but only on paper. when widener beat messiah and then lvc beat widener on the road, the championship had to be considered a toss-up. neither messiah regular season victory over lebvall was all that impressive ... and the dutchmen have had the falcons' number the last three years in the commonwealth tournament. i for one was not at all surprised that messiah couldn't hold home-court advantage.

So Very Proud of all four of our MAC teams, but do wish that FDU didn't have to square off with Widener in the first game. Watched FDU's video while they were waiting to see the seedings and they were so wildly excited, sure don't blame em, but, on the other hand, Coach Alisa (Widener) is an Aggie. Safe travels to both teams!!! Also in that quad, GO Cabrini!!!

kate · March 01, 2013, 08:44:03 PM

FDU gave it all they had tonight, but fell in the final minutes to Widener down at CUA. Widener will face either Cabrini or Catholic. FDU had an incredible season - congratulations to them for getting to the NCAA's. Also congrats to Widener, and good luck with your next game!!! Final score FDU Florham 52/Widener 56

Gigantic congratulations to the Widener Pride and their Coach, Alisa DiBonaventura Kintner, for just knocking off Catholic University of America 57/56! So proud of Alisa!
