SCIAC Postseason Tournament Women's Basketball









































































































































Heartbreaker! Heartbreaker! Heartbreaker! 300 fans, Talulah, and I were torn between pride and pain as the buzzer sounded and the rope was pulled across the floor one last time. Pain because we didn't want the season to end. Pride because we couldn't be more impressed by this young squad of students. But give credit where credit is due. Paws up to the Leopards tonight. Their defense was tenacious. Our Bulldogs didn't back down. There was no giving up. What looked like an insurmountable lead was whittled down to just two at the end, 50-48. It was so close. A missed shot here. A turnover there. But those things happen. We played to the end. The Leopards were just one shot better tonight.

And a huge paws up to our Lady Bulldogs! What an incredible season. There's never been a team in University history to win that many games in a season. And we're young. Let's give the rest of SCIAC a year to think about what we're bringing to the court next year.
