I posted something about this over on the CCIW board because of her ties to North Central College, but congratulations to Emily Zgoda on her record breaking performance for Albion last night.

Not very helpful without SOS data which I don't have, hopefully I can fill that in next week

We have it on our website, sac... under the "teams" tab at the top of the page... and under the  "women's" column ... which will direct you here: http://www.d3hoops.com/seasons/women/2016-17/schedule?tmpl=sos-template

It is easier for us to produce the women's content as it is very simple math for us to pull from our database. We now have a link's to the men's, but off-site to KnightSlappy's work since that is far more complex than our system - or Presto's - can handle.

Just be aware, we have to keep our database of missing scores updated, so sometimes numbers can be a little off.

Thanks, updated!

Trine returns to the Top 25 rankings this week checking in at 23.  Well deserved.

2 more weeks of regular season left.  Hope, Trine, Calvin and Albion should be in the MIAA tournament barring a collapse by any of the above, which isn't likely.  Adrian and Alma could possibly sneak in.  Seeding for the tournament is up for grabs, could either be Hope or Trine at 1 and 2 and Calvin and Albion at 3 and 4.  Strength of schedule for these teams looking to get in the NCAA tournament is a hindrance as Saint Mary's, Olivet and Kalamazoo have had a very rough year.

Yes, the bottom half of the league hurts the SOS, but Hope's SOS is significantly higher than Calvin and Trine. This points to the importance of your non conference games.

Not as familiar with the selection process on the women's side but the Pool C bubble is probably around the 6-8 spots.

Did Olivet play as well as the score?  Or did Calvin not play well?

Big game sat hope vs trine

Barring a huge upset Wednesday, it'll be last game of the regular season for the outright title.  Nice!  I know the AQ goes to the league tournament champ, could we see two teams this year go to the NCAA?

Trine with 3 losses probably is ok,  4 losses seems dicey with that SOS.  Playing Hope twice and Calvin in the tournament would certainly help that SOS.

Hope with 3 or 4 losses is in better shape with a strong SOS.

Calvin probably has to win the AQ as does Albion.

For Trine to go dancing I believe they need to beat Hope once in the next 2 weeks, either this Saturday or in the MIAA tournament.  Hope played very well at Trine, maybe one of their best games of the season?  Trine has to play better "D", especially guarding the 3 ball.  If it gets to be a shootout then that favors Hope.  Trine does have key reserve Tashayla Sutorius available this time around, she missed the first Hope game.  She played very well against Kzoo last Saturday, and is an offensive presence off the bench. 

This team is really a year away from something really special.  Only lose PG Taylor Cole from this year's team.  Good to see a big crowd at last Saturday's Senior Day game at Trine.  Wish I could make the trek to Holland Saturday, hoping their community gets out and supports the Hope girls, would be awesome for Trine to play in front of a couple thousand.
