Eyewitness report from Thousand Oaks:

Cal Lutheran 69, Oxy 67 OT

Great game between CLU and Oxy. Large noisy contingent from Oxy complete with the Oxy Drumline in attendance.

Very close game throughout. Starla Wright's layup atthe buzzer gave CLU a 30-27 halftime lead. In the second half, the Regals' biggest lead was 8 at 46-38 with 13 minutes left. The Tigers chipped away and tied the game 60-60 on Marquisha Corley's layup with 14 seconds left. CLU couldn't knock down a winner, so the game went to OT. Keely Anderson made 1 of 2 FTs to give CLU a 69-67 lead with 12 seconds to go. Oxy's Liz Little tried for a game-winning 3, but CLU's Alex Nelson got her hand on it, and CLU got the win.

CLU: Starla Wright 20 pts and 13 rebs, Channing Fleischmann 17 pts and 13 rebs, Keely Anderson 11.
Oxy: Makenzie Brandon 20 pts, 12 rebs, 5 assists, 3 steals, Elizabeth Messick 15 pts and 7 blocks.

Oxy finishes the season 16-10. CLU improves to 22-4.

Farewell to Oxy seniors Makenzie Brandon, Liz Little, Stephanie Scamman, Marquisha Corley, and Katelyn Rowe. You will be dearly missed!

Congrads to CLU winning the conference season and tourney with a win over Chapman this afternoon. The  Regals came back from an 11 point first half deficit.  Maybe they can host a first round game against one of the NW teams. That would be nice for a change.

Whitman 61, Cal Lutheran 37

Game played at Lewis & Clark. Cal Lutheran was quickly bounced from the playoffs in Round 1. The Regals shot 17.4% in the first half on 4-for-23, trailed by 15 at halftime, and never got back into the game. One and done for the SCIAC again. Whitman moves on to play L&C for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen.

In other news, the SCIAC announced the all-conference awards:

QuoteThe SCIAC is proud to annouce the Women's Basketball All-Conference Awards.

Athlete of the Year – Makenzie Brandon, Jr., Occidental College

Brandon won the award for the second straight year.

At least they spelled her name right. They couldn't get Josiah Brensdal's spelled correctly. One thing wrong, however, Brandon is a senior, not a junior.

The all-conference teams:

Starla Wright, Sr., California Lutheran University
Kimi Takaoka, Jr., Chapman University
Erica Whitley, Sr., California Lutheran University
Marika Stanton, Jr., University of Redlands

I just noticed there is a new hire, Ms. Julie Shaw, as Head coach for LaVerne Women's Hoops...   What happened to former Coach Matt Rogers?   Was he pushed out, or did opportunity in Greener Pastures present itself?   Can anyone help?   OxyBob?     Thanks
The only thing not to be liked in Florida is no D3 hoops!!!

Chapman had a tough scrimmage against Hope International the other night.  McCoy and Yoshimura experience will be missed at the outset but they return a solid nucleus led by Kimi Takaoka 1st team All-SCIAC.  Andrea Villanueva moves to point guard and Lauren Sato moves to the shooting guard.  Sandra Gao, last season SCIAC Newcomer of the Year and an improved Laura Johnson gives Chapman some solid post play.  What will the bench bring....hard to say right now. 

GoPanthers

Good start for Panthers.  Hoops_lover, looks like they might have a bench with Nicole Moy, who just finished volleyball and Natalia Ebrahimian, a post player who's been solid.  Lynne Higashigawa has really stepped up starting for injured Lauren Sato. She's been a pleasant surprise.  Have a home game Saturday vs. George Fox.  Chapman beat them last year.  Kimi Takaoka is FIVE points from 1,000 in her career.

GoPanthers

Congratulations to Kimi Takaoka for reaching 1,000 points vs George Fox two Saturday's ago.
Tough loss for the Panthers last night.  However a good game for Andrea Villanueva with 30 points and six rebounds, three steals.  Looks like she came out of her long shooting slump.  Hopefully this is a confidence builder for her and when Lauren Sato returns, the Panthers with these two, Takaoka and Gao, pretty nice firepower.  BTW, Gao fouled out with four minutes left.  If she would stop committing "silly fouls", she'd stay in the game longer. 
Gotta hand it to Redlands, they made the plays down the stretch and Chapman did not (missed free throws).  love teams that show resiliency.  Very, very interesting game this Saturday with Chapman hosting Cal Lu.

GoPanthers

Chapman struggled a little but defeated Cal Lu 81-72.  Regals without their three Al-SCIAC and seniors from last year are a different team.  Jessica Solottolo, Sofia Cruz and Chelsea Jacoby were the only firepower they had.  Jacoby is a player and Chapman was lucky she was in foul trouble.  I think they were missing someone else but for the life of me I can't think of who it was.
Gao, Takaoka and Villanueva combined for 59 of Chapman's 81 points.  But for a team that uses high pressure defense to create turnovers and easy scores, it's not working!  Cal Lu had one more turnover (19-18) than Chapman but outscored them 21-12.  They better tighten up their defensive rotations and keep the offensive players in front of them or when they really get into SCIAC play, they'll lose games they should have won.  They also need to get Takaoka more open looks at the basket, like with screens or pick and pop.
