Spring is Here!

What a beautiful day today in the Valley ...lots of sunshine!! Everyone has returned from spring break and now there's that last push until the end!! All our spring sports are in action and I wish them much success. It's great to go out and catch a game and see so many of our players there supporting other teams.

I have been working on our Facebook page and I encourage all my followers to join our fan page - Bridgewater College women's basketball. It will be a great way for you to stay in touch with the ins and outs of our program.

This is my favorite time of year - basketball on television seven days a week. The men's and women's NCAA tournament is always an exciting time. It's great to pull for the underdogs. On the men's side I like Cornell and Northern Iowa. What a great Cinderella story!! In the women's tourney I still don't think anyone can beat UCONN but I like that Tennessee might face them in the semi-finals. Two great teams, two great coaches, and lots of winning in each program. That could be an exciting game. The other team I like is Gonzaga. We don't get to see them play here on the East Coast but what a good team ...I have enjoyed watching them the first two rounds.

Then there is the NIT ...my Tar Heels are still playing and that's a good thing. :) So are the VT Hokies. In the women's NIT my friend Bonnie Henrickson has the KU Jayhawks still playing!!

It's a great time to be a basketball fan!

Good luck to all our spring sports! Now that the weather is warming up I hope to see some of you in the stands!! As always ...GO EAGLES!!

Thanks

I would just like to say “thank you” to everyone who came out and supported us throughout the season. Although the final result wasn’t an O.D.A.C. championship we did finish with a 17-9 record and that is a quality season.

The coaches would like to say “thank you” to Kristin Bosserman, our lone senior. Kristin has been a four-year letter winner for the Eagles. During her four years at B.C., the Eagles finished with a cumulative record of 66-43, an O.D.A.C. tournament title, and a berth in the NCAA tournament. We will miss her next year!!

The next month is my FAVORITE time of the year …Division I basketball at its best – the NCAA tournament!! Who’s your team? Most of you know that I’m a Carolina fan and unfortunately I don’t think they’ll get a bid unless they win the ACC tournament. On the women’s side I don’t think there is a team that can beat UCONN but I’m a Lady Vol fan and who knows if they meet up??

Good luck to the two teams representing the O.D.A.C. in the Division III tournament –Roanoke and W & L. W & L received the automatic bid after winning the O.D.A.C. tournament and RC received an at-large. Both teams are playing at CNU on Friday and I know our staff will be there cheering them onto a victory!!

I hope to see some of you in the stands to cheer on our spring sports!! Until next time ...Go EAGLES!!
