Just thought I'd give you some thoughts on this weekend's fun.
We'll start with the big one, the women's soccer team in the NEC tournament. Central didn't play well Sunday at Sacred Heart, but didn't know the significance of the game at the time. You could make the argument that every team should be up for every game, but I have a feeling that if the Blue Devils knew that Monmouth was going to lose, it would have been a different story.
They also rested some people in that game, which was played on the old turf field there as opposed to the grass at Monmouth.
In case you didn't notice, I'm saying that the rematch on Friday afternoon will be different. Soccer's a funny game, and the team that deserves a W doesn't always get it (ask Monmouth about Sunday), but expect the real Blue Devils to show up. If they do, a spot in the NEC title game will await on Sunday.
Volleyball has its final two home matches of the year this week. They'll also have a high seed in the upcoming NEC dance, which is next weekend, along with men's soccer. I'll have much more on them next week.
This week has been about the basketball previews, which are done and ready to run. The women will be in Friday's paper, and the men on Saturday.
I'll save my thoughts until after they run (can't spoil all the fun), then I'll delve deeper into those two teams.
Football is really on the backburner this week, but it'll be in the forefront next week for the NEC title game.
