Congratulations as well to Erin Hollinger of Case on being the only UAA basketball player of either gender to be nominated for the Josten's Trophy. I hope that Erin wins it. Congrats, Erin!

Wash-U up 37-21, with about 3:00 to play in the 1st half vs. Denison.

jaybird44 · March 04, 2011, 05:52:30 PM

Wash-U up 39-26 at halftime vs. Denison. Bears have shot 57% from the floor, and 6-for-8 from 3-point range. Kathryn Berger of Wash-U leads all scorers with 11 points, including 3-for-5 from 3-point range.

Denison has been held to 9-for-27 shooting, and 4-for-12 from beyond the arc.

Chicago crushing Hanover - up 24 about 5 minutes into the 2nd half.

We went 1-15 from three point range on Saturday. Today 6-8 in just the first half. Wow!

Chicago thumps Hanover 76-62 - in a game that was not that close. The Maroons sat their starters most of the second half - after going up by 27.

Wash up 69-55 with less than a minute to go.

UAA very impressive early.

Final - Wash 71 Denison 55

Let's go Rochester!!!

It would be great for the UAA to beat Hope and Calvin on their own floors.

The Maroons and Bears dominated their foes. Hanover lost by two at Franklin for their only loss. Denison was undefeated. It must have been disconcerting for them to be so outclassed. Rochester was ranked number 1 in the East. Chicago and Wash were ranked 5 and 6 in the Central - which means Rochester would not even be ranked in the Central. If you listen to Hoopsville, you can see why the knowledgeable observers expect the National Champion to come out of the Central/Great Lakes regions.

Rochester gets the win as the UAA goes 3-0 in round one.

UAA triumphant over the MIAA!!!!

Chicago 67 Calvin 62
Wash 56 Hope 52

Cannot figure out what is going on with Rochester. Scorebiard says Muhlenberg is ahead 66-59 with 2:32 left. Live stats does not seem to be working.

It looks like Thomas More will host again - Wash vs TMU and Chicago vs Greensboro.

After thinking it was a down year for the UAA

Incredible clutch scoring by Dani Hoover after an excellent performance by Alex Hoover in the first half. Both centers (Rettig and Sayers) for WashU were injured for a good chunk of the game, so the depth and grit of WashU was tested and they still prevailed.

Way to go UAA!

Anyone with insight on how UChicago pulled out the victory over Calvin?

The Maroons led from start to finish - by as much as 13. Calvin began to chip away and got to within two with 4 minutes left. But Chicago maintained control.

I am going to have to cheer for Thomas More. The chances of beating Wash U three times in one season - I don't like those odds.

Rochester lost 74-69 to Muhlenberg.

I have no info on Chicago, but Wash-U's Kristin Anda played center after Sayers and Rettig both suffered knee injuries. This may be the moment where Anda takes a big step forward in her development as a future starter...the Bears will need another double-digit night from her in their next matchup vs. Thomas More.

Also, Monika Monson...a little-used senior post player that averages well over 20 points per 40 minutes of action may have a spotlight shine on her next weekend, to spell Anda inside.

The Hoover girls...what more can be said about their poise and coolness under fire?
Dani with 15 second-half points, including the last 8 for Washington...after Alex roared out of the gate with 11 points in the first few minutes of the game, and ends up with 16.

I thought that the Bears could pull off the win, if they played their usual great defense, made some key shots, and outrebounded Hope. Turnovers nearly sank them, but the Hoovers and Anda would not let the Bears lose tonight.

Congrats to Wash-U!
