SLIAC

Yep, too late for me. FU loses to UW-Eau Claire 6-1. I was following live stats of SLIAC baseball tourney Game #1 -- Webster beats Westmin 11-0.

WOW  Congrats to Caty Eeten of Eureka for being selected D3Hoops preseason Honorable Mention All American  (same as 5th team All American)...   not sure when the last time was that a SLIAC player was bestowed with such an honor....  She is an outstanding offensive player...  I'm looking forward to her matchup with Maggie Zehner of Webster....

Very informative well written article on Katy Eeten on SLIAC.org.....   The SID from Eureka is a very good writer... All the stats and historical names.... Good job Eureka....

Which brings up the point... I don't see why each school couldn't provide a preseason writeup on the men's and women's teams.. an in depth writeup telling about returning players and new faces... put it out on SLIAC.org..... create a little interest!!  It might help..... Right now, there is little to no info out there at all......

Eureka opens with win over Knox   112-83    wonder if that approaches a SLIAC scoring record....

Eureka College sophomore forward Kelsey Shoemake (East Peoria, Ill./East Peoria H.S.) poured in 39 points, the third-highest single-game total in program history, leading the Red Devils to a season-opening 112-83 rout of Knox, Thursday night at Memorial Gymnasium in Galesburg, Ill.  The victory gives the Red Devils season-opening victories in consecutive seasons for the first time since November 1995.

Shoemake went 16-for-20 from the field, narrowly missing the single-game Eureka record of 17 field goals set by junior teammate Caty Eeten (Eureka, Ill./Eureka H.S.) against the same Knox squad last season.  Shoemake also went 7-for-7 from the foul line and added a career-high 17 rebounds Thursday to earn her first career double-double.

NOTE...  Caty Eeten didnt exactly sit back and watch... she finished with 28 points, 11 for 16 shooting, 12 rebounds!!!

After two dates of league play, it looks to me like this is a 3 team horse race with a big gap to whomever is team #4....  Spalding, Eureka, and Westmin seem to be a cut above......

Anyone know why Blackburn College cancelled their California trip that included games against Occidental and Chapman
today and Monday? Fortunately Oxy was able to find another team to fill the gap in the schedules for Oxy and Chapman.
Although the game was against a Red River College team from Canada.

Sorry Dahlby, no answer... if I see BC some time in the future (which is doubtful,), I will ask....

This comment may be off base... as Fontbonne should have beat Westmin but misses 2 foul shots in the last seconds and loses in OT, and Webster beats Eureka at Eureka....  no reason Webster, Fontbonne, Mac, even Greenville can't also be in this horse race....  makes the women's competition much more interesting.....

WOW  .. Webster beats Eureka 87-83 in ot... Eeten goes 5 for 21, 18 points; Webster guards Maggie Zehner and Kaliann Richard each gets 20.....

Wrote a nice note to Coach Windemuller of Blackburn with your question... Coach, after 4 days, has not responded.... ANY response would have been appreciated.... maybe I'll try the AD next
