The Women's Belt

Caz Bombers · January 09, 2020, 09:50:35 PM

Amherst tapped out Widener, Stevens and Albertus Magnus with ease and will bring its Belt into the NESCAC, starting tomorrow night at Middlebury.

Emmanuel hammered Salem State in its first defense; GNAC play begins Saturday at home against Rivier.

You didn't hear?

We're going to put the Diva Belt on the line at the D3hoops.com Classic. Winner takes it home.

so it looks like Emmanuel won yesterday, but Claremont-Mudd-Scripps lost. I propose each team claim its ownership of The Women's Belt (honestly, WWE retired the term "diva" 4 years ago, so can we) and we'll see how long it takes the three paths to become unified.

next defenses:

Amherst 12/31 vs. Redlands (at Chapman) 7 pm EST/4 pm PST
George Fox 1/3 home Willamette 9 pm EST/6 pm PST
Emmanuel 1/8 at Salem State 6 pm EST

It seems to me that Amherst got the strap, George Fox got the buckle, and Emmanuel got the baubles.

We await the re-unification!

the way the Northwest Conference edition is pinballing around I'm growing concerned it won't make it into the NCAA Tournament this season to be unified.

Kind of like the Northwest Conference share has become a 24/7 share? LOL.

Update-- not really a 24/7 share as only D3 teams can compete for the share.
