Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, March 18, 2003

In D2 action yesterday, a huge upset -- undefeated and top-ranked Seattle Pacific lost to Bakersfield. Bakersfield made a second half run to knock out the Falcons for the second year in a row.

After beating West Chester a couple days ago, Cal U of PA beat Glenville State yesterday to advance to the Elite Eight. It was sweet revenge for the Vulcans, who had been knocked out by Glenville last year. "Last year, they laughed in our faces," said Sara McKinney "That's what makes this one feel so good." Cal will play North Florida.

South Dakota State, led by Shannon Schlagel, beat U South Dakota. SDSU will play Bakersfield in the quarters.

Here's something bizarre: ESPN says that Arkansas Tech beat Central Arkansas, but the local paper says Central Arkansas won. I guess I have to assume the locals have it right... Central Arkansas will meet Bentley, who easily beat Stonehill.

Northern Kentucky overcame a 15-point halftime deficit to beat Qunicy. Washburn had a scoring burst to beat Drury.

The quarterfinals are next Wednesday. Thanks to Meredy for the D2 updates!
