I'll have much more on the season that was, as well as the look ahead, but wanted to give a quick shout out to the Mount.
I pegged them for weeks as a team I wanted no part of in March, and the Colonials unfortunately (for them at least) proved me right.
I'm a big fan of coach Brown and that program. Sacred Heart is a class act program as well, so the NEC will be well-represented in the NCAAs. Just hope it's not in Dayton.
I did pretty well with my big picks of the year... RMU to win the regular season, the Devils to finish 6th, and the Mount to win a road game in the NECs.
Like I said, season wrap-ups and look-aheads for the men and women to come, I've had to do a lot of high school stuff (not that I don't love those tourneys as well) so I'm a bit behind.
Also, a nice big baseball feature after I finally see them on Wed.
It was a shame to see SHU's season come to an end the way it did. MSMU was by far the hottest team coming in. I will say this, that was probably the ugliest game I have ever seen live. I can't imagine what it looked like on tv. I will see later this week, when I watch it (although, I really don't want to).
ReplyDeleteMatt, I don't know if this will get to you, but, I'll try.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall this being mentioned here in the past, but, one of our teams is "in the nationals". No, it's not varsity, but the club level CCSU hockey team.
I know the athletic dept. won't mention it, because it's not a varsity sport. The other PR or Marketing departments won't because it's a "sport". So, it looks as if no one's mentioning the very successful club team, Central Ice Hockey. Will you?
They've got a page http://clubs.ccsu.edu/icehockey/. Can you report on their playoff activities? They're playing 'now'.
I see them as no different than any other organizaton on campus that does something wonderful. Let's read about it in the Herald and also on you blog.
Thanks
