The WARHAWKS season ended Saturday with a 62-45 loss to Wash U and a season record of 20-8.  It was the 8th time in the past 9 years the team has won at least 20 games.  We hung within five points after three quarters but Wash U opened the the final quarter with a 13-1 run that turned into a 20-5 run at the two minute mark.  We went 0-7 from the floor and committed 5 turnovers during that stretch.  Abbie Reeves hit four three pointers to surpass the 1000 career points mark (1003) and with 204 three pointers became the program's all time leader.  Reeves finished with 12 points.  Lisa Palmer added 10 points and pulled down 7 rebounds.  Andrea Meinert added 10 rebounds and Brooke Trewyn 4 steals.

Warhawks have been outstanding for many a year. I don't think many thought they would get to the NCAA. Willing to bet they are there next year.

Congrats to EC Erin Otoole. First Team Central Region and All American Honorable Mention from D3Hoops.

As a bit of an addendum on Porter, he's the mastermind behind North Central's use of The System since they went to it in '12-'13. He's a brilliant basketball mind, but also a great guy. It'd be a bummer to see him leave NCC, but La-Crosse would be getting a great coach.

UWL names Karen Middleton, associate head coach at Cal State Fullerton, as new coach for the women's basketball team...

Interesting hire -- a lot of D1 experience, and nothing at any level inside Wisconsin.

We have all the WIAC women's schedules posted on our site. If you click on a team's page, it'll still default to 2015-16 for a little while. We want to get more teams' schedules in the system before we set the default to 2016-17. But you can look at all the schedules by following this format:

I think Brad Fischer and the Titans are a threat to win it all.

[JMM]

Maybe OSH will win all. They did get their act back together at the end of the season. EC's all-american should be more seasoned this year in her second year.. There is also a pretty good supporting cast. I think RF is still the team to beat. Another grand year of WHY-ACK woman's basketball coming up shortly.
