Chicago pushed Brandeis to OT, but the Judges are putting it away now.

Brandeis up by 7 with less than a minute left.

Brandeis 92 Chicago 85 OT

Judges will have a chance to sweep what may be the hardest road trip in women's Division III.

Case (9-6, 2-2) got back on track with a 64-48 win at Carnegie Mellon (5-10, 0-4). Most importantly, senior forward Carmen Rowan returned to action after a shoulder injury. The stat of the game was rebounds as Case held a 42-26 advantage, including 15 by Ashley Horton.

High scorers were for Case, Amber Hammell with 17 and Mary Herendeen with 12; for CMU, Leah Feola with 12 and Gemma Easterling with 11.

Case now travels to Rochester, where they haven't won in years (the home team has taken 10 of the last 11 games).

From St. Louis, MO...

At the half:

Wash U leads Brandeis 28-23.

Rebecca Parker of Wash U was injured with about 30 seconds to go in the first half. She was unable to put any weight on her left ankle and it sounds like she won't return.

Courtesy of WYSL AM 1040:

Rochester leads Case 34-27 at the half. Case has freely used a 10-player rotation, which is good because otherwise they would have too many players in foul trouble. The U of R made a run after Case jumped out to an early 8-point lead.

Leading scorers:
Danielle Muller (UR) 11 points
Ashley Horton (Case) 8 points

sandman · January 22, 2006, 04:18:27 PM

Rochester is running away with this one now: 58-43, with under 8:00 to play.

Final from Rochester:

Rochester 73, Case 55
13-3, 4-1............9-7, 2-3

Danielle Muller scored a career-high 25 points. Ashley Horton led Case with 17. The stat of the game is steals (6 for Alex Porter, 5 for Emily Bango).

My thoughts on the Brandeis weekend, as currently written from Olin Library at Wash U in St. Louis--

As you can see, I made the Midwest trip this year. The Brandeis teams and most of the travelling Brandeis fans are on their way back to Lambert Airport to catch their flights back home-- I will be flying back home on United Airlines tomorrow morning. (It was cheaper for me to stay an extra night.)

Despite the outcomes today, I thought that this trip was a successful one. Brandeis got a much needed road victory at Chicago, and with the NYU women winning on Friday, I knew that this game was going to be a tough one. Brandeis needed to play a perfect, smart game today to win, and the Judges did not come close. Wash U's control of the boards was the difference in today's women's game-- that allowed the Bears to take 17 more field goal attempts than Brandeis.

Chicago and St. Louis are both fine cities, and I encourage any one of you to visit them if you can in your travels.

I loved Beach Night in Chicago on Friday night-- the Chicago games had a Division I like atmosphere to them with a crowd of about 1,000 present on Friday. I did like the part where the announcer announced that the starting lineups were presented by Hyde Park Bank. (the local bank that sponsors Chicago Maroons athletics.) Also, the part where the announcer would shout on every possession a la Chicago Bulls style-- "It's Chitown basketball!" was funny at first, but got tiring the more it got repeated.

I thank the Chicago cheerleaders for treating me well, and presenting me with a blue Hawaiian lei.

PS-- I can't believe that the NYU women are leading early at Chicago-- still plenty of time left, though.
