Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, March 28, 2003

D2 semis last night: the dream is over for Cal U of PA, as NKU upset the Vulcans. Despite shooting only 27 percent, the Norse were able to outlast Cal U in the defensive battle. Some people are still trying to figure out exactly how NKU ended up on top. It didn't help that Vulcan star Becky Siembak had an off night.

In the other semi, SDSU beat Bentley in OT. Bentley was up most of the game, but the Jackrabbits closed the gap, and then Stacie Cizek hit a crazy, banked-in 3 to tie the game at the buzzer. SDSU pulled away in the extra frame. Shannon Schlagel had another great game. Bentley was stunned by the game's finish.

SDSU and NKU will play for the title tomorrow. The game is on ESPN2 at 6 eastern.
