WBB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

On behalf of iwumichigander (who may be busy watching a Hawaii 5-0 dvd), I will Point out that the player in question could easily pass for a junior.
Furtherly, we on the CCIW page occasionally throw in erroneous information solely to see if anyone catches it.

It slowly occurred to me that IWU hosted and played UW-Stevens Point last year in the sweet 16 round, on March 13. This time, it'll be March 12.
A majority of the starting five for each team will be different this year, though.
IWU also hosted UW-SP earlier this year (11/28/09), with the Titans edging them, 84-80. IWU has not given up more than 72 pts in any game since then.

Rog,
Christina Solari, Hope Schulte, and Stacey Arlis all started for the Titans last year--only the guards are different.  More spurious information to catch the uninitiated? 

[RogK]

I think Colleen Caplice started that particular game. At least, the box score has a position for her, while Stacey was a sub.
I like your use of the word 'spurious', though. Sounds vaguely San Antonio-related somehow.

Oops!  You're right.  Just tryin' to sneak one by.....maybe living this year in a country where people play a game called "football" with the feet is messing with my mind.

They have one senior, #10 Ashley Windt.

Thanks - fixed post

Whoops - Danno was just booking another bad guy as I was typing.

Good, but Wo Fat got away again!

IWU's Christina Solari and Hope Schulte were chosen to the all-region squad and are among 40 finalists for the 2010 State Farm Coaches' NCAA Division III All-America Team.

Congratulations, ladies!

[RogK]

My congratulations to Christina and Hope, too.
Likewise, to the other all-region 7 selections: our own Lyndsie Long, Janice Evans of Wash U and Julia Hirssig of UW-Stout.

[RogK]

The latest NCAA stats show Carthage as #1 in the nation for team FG% at .474.
Their next opponent, George Fox Univ, is #5 in FG def % at .319. They have a 6'5" freshman (Hannah Munger) who averages 3.4 blocks per game.

Excellent!  I was just passing on the news from the IWU site and hadn't seen the full list.  Well done, all.

On the WBCA site http://www.wbca.org/releases/2010DIIISFCAATFinalistsPR.html
they list Christina as a junior. What can we conclude from that?

Probably nothing, alas.

She does have junior eligibility (or would, with a medical redshirt), but I somehow doubt her parents want ANOTHER year of two Solaris at IWU!

But we can dream!

We can draw the conclusion that the NCAA, Institutions of Higher Learning and Basketball Coaches Associations/Conferences (men and women) with all their education, degrees and experience can not figure out a simple way to communicate the status of a 4th year academic senior whom has a year of athletic eligibility remaining.

"It's awesome both teams are doing so well," said Solari, a political science major who plans to attend graduate school in the Chicago area to earn a master's degree and a teaching certificate. "We couldn't imagine better seasons for each other."

By no coincidence, Dwyer also will be heading back to the Chicago suburbs after graduation. The business finance major has a job as a financial advisor waiting at Edward Jones Investments near his Arlington Heights home.

(Actually, both Solari and Dwyer have one season of eligibility remaining - Sean was injured in the 2nd game of his freshman season and missed the remainder of that year.)
