Congratulations to North Park junior Sinead Molloy upon receiving the CCIW's inaugural Chris Martin Perseverance Award. This award will be given annually to the CCIW student-athlete who "who demonstrates an unwavering commitment and perseverance to overcome a physical challenge in order to compete at the highest levels of CCIW athletics."

The background to Sinead Molloy's accomplishment can be found here. It's a good read, and a real success story about how a CCIW student-athlete hasn't let a physical obstacle impede her from doing what she loves.

Any new word on recruits for the CCIW women's game?  Seems we know a lot about the men recruits, but little posted here so far on women newbies.  Any news?

Hope all the CCIW chatsters are staying safe and well, in these strange and surreal times.

All best from the Far Side, from Hong Kong.

Big Blue commits Ashlyn Sturdy and Elyce Knudsen combined to score 4,000+ points in HS.  That's pretty crazy.

MU rising to the "top tier" in CCIW women's hoops?      LOL

Pretty crazy high school scoring, to be sure.  (Thanks Q).

Very inspiring story.  Thank you for sharing it GS.

I interviewed Coach Lett last year about her approach to recruiting and she had an interesting response. She was emphasizing accomplished high school players over those on the AAU circuit (though those will overlap).

it was not long ago that Millikan was "top tier".   With Olivia's background and successes, Millikan will attract quality players.  You know Olivia will never give up getting the best players she can recruit.  Heck, I would play for Olivia!

Breeyona Burrell, a 5'9 guard from Kenwood, has verballed for North Park.

Really not much here on the recruiting front as yet . . .  I thought there'd be more.
