As per our Easton Express Times this morning, Moravian's Mary Beth Spirk goes for win #500 tonight against Drew. The game is in Madison.

kate · January 16, 2014, 08:00:37 AM

No mention in this morning's paper, but I see that Coach Spirk got win #500 last night. Congratulations to the Coach next door, so to speak!

Surprised that the Marywood-Scranton game is postponed. must not have been able to get 3 local sub refs to the gym. Marywood could have taken a city bus and then used the 5-block walk to the gym as their pregame warmup

Nice to see Catholic up there at the top of the league. A friend from elementary school, her sister is playing down there, getting about 20 minutes a game as a freshmen for a 16-4 team is pretty impressive. Last week should be exciting, Moravian ends the year with both Scranton & Catholic at home; Scranton has road games @ Catholic @ Moravian back to back and 2 of Catholic's last 3 games are Scranton & Moravian.

Dress rehearsal for seeding for the conference tourney and building a case for a Pool C NCAA berth, if you don't win the AQ.

Ronk, you think all 3 will get in regardless of who wins the tournament??

7express,
I don't have the handle on the rest of the contenders in the 2 regions(Catholic is in the Atlantic) at this time, but give me a couple of days to research it. It will be a big accomplishment for either Catholic(lost 4 starters from last year) or Moravian(lost their best player earlier this season to injury) to make it.

Dave 'd-mac' McHugh · February 11, 2014, 12:29:14 AM

I wouldn't bet on more than two right now... only because there are a LOT of good teams across the country this year. That being said, enjoy the last year where the conference is split into the Atlantic and Mid-Atlantic giving them the best chances at more bids... because they are all in the Mid-Atlantic next season.

Winning a Pool C is a 2-step process-ranking high in your region to come to the table and then competing with the other 7 regions at that point. At this point, it looks good for Catholic since only the loser of York-CNU should be ahead of them in the region and will be taken early in the national selection; Scranton & Moravian have 5 competitors w comparable records. 1st clue tomorrow w release of RRs; still a lot of conference & tourney games to affect things.
