My favorite "Small Sample Size!" number of the year so far is attached. I'm just going to enjoy this for as long as I can, because it's probably not going to last. :(

Depauw over Trine in a match-up of highly ranked programs.  Titans play DP soon.  Then perhaps Wash U.  No nights off.

IWU has UW WW tomorrow night at The Shirk.

Congrats to Devin Kyler, new CCIW Player of the Week!

Great game at The Shirk tonight -- IWU hosting UW Whitewater.

Game time is an unusual 6 p.m.

Big night tonight for North Park, as Vikings alumna and former NPU assistant coach Lauren Rosengarden makes her return to the crackerbox after leaving NPU to take the helm of the Concordia (IL) program. Her leading scorer for the Cougars, Sam Bloom, was a Viking last season.

It'll make for an interesting mix of emotions.

Benedictine 69, NCC 67 in Lisle.

This one hurts. The Cardinals led by double digits in the first half, but the eagles trimmed it to 3 by halftime, and led for a good chunk of the second half. But the left the door open for North Central late, missing 7 of 10 free throws in the final quarter. Alanna Newsome paced the Cardinals with 14 but missed 15 and 16 on what would have been a game-tying open layup in the final second.

Wheaton got a nice win at Loras tonight, 67-59. 

Hannah Williams with 18 pts played another solid game.  She is displaying more offensive capabilities in her sophomore season and showing an ability to finish plays driving the lane.  Equally impressive was Jordan Myroth who noticeably looked to provide more offense by driving the lane.  As a 5'11" point guard she has a height advantage on most of her defenders that she has yet to really exploit with any regularity offensively, either by driving or posting up.  She did both tonight.  It worked well and I'd love to see more of it.

Hannah Frazier had 12 pts, all on 3 pt shots.  For some reason, the Thunder are not able, or not trying, to get her the ball in the post where she has the greatest advantage.  I'm not sure why Kent Madsen doesn't get her more paint opportunities.  It's somewhat frustrating.

Amanda Crockett took it easy on her former assistant tonight, as none of the Vikings played more than 23 minutes and only two of them played as much as a half. The minutes were spread out so much that, of the fourteen Vikings who dressed tonight, twelve played double-digit minutes. Thirteen of them scored.

The Vikings scored the first six points of the game and never looked back. NPU was up by as much as 33 in the third quarter. The press absolutely broke the back of the Cougars, who turned it over 27 times -- with 16 of those turnovers being steals. The Vikings are averaging 15.7 steals per game, and their opponents are averaging 27 turnovers per game. But the most heartening thing about tonight was what the Vikes did when they had the ball in their hands, as they dished out 24 assists to only 14 turnovers.

The lone bright spot for Lauren Rosengarden's Cougars was former Viking Sam Bloom, who scored 14 points.

Get well soon to NPU assistant coach Annie Shain, who is in the hospital with appendicitis.

Rog will no doubt break down the highlights, but Augie nipped Coe in Cedar Rapids, UWW knocked off Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington, and Carthage traveled around the lake and whomped Calvin in Grand Rapids by 23 or so.

That Augie game had a wild ending. Augie was up by 16 with four minutes to go and proceeded to blow it. Coe erupted in a 22-5 run (3, layup, 3, layup, 3, layup, layup, 3 and then 2 FTs with :04 remaining, giving Coe a 70-69 lead.
Then Izzy Anderson managed to get fouled 2 seconds later and sank both shots for a win. Probably her best game of the young season, making 6 2FGs in 12 FG att and 6/7 FTs, plus 5 assists.
Alexis Jones again did well, with 11 rebs and hitting 7 2FGs from 10 FG att and a FT. Clare Kramer provided 14 pts, 7 rebs.

RogK

My best wishes, too, to Annie Shain for her appendix removal.
In IWU's 78-73 loss to Wisconsin Whitewater, Maddie Merritt scored 26 (9/17, 8/10 FT) and seized 6 rebs. Ashley Schneider also was productive, with 16 pts, 3 assists, 5 rebs.
IWU induced only 12 UWW turnovers.

RogK

Carthage 72-49 at Calvin : nice game from Madie Kaelber, who scored 21 on 17 shots, adding 4 steals. Maggie Berigan had a very productive 15:00 -- 6/9 2FGs, 6/6 FTs, along with 3 rebs and 4 blocks.
Autumn Kalis had 9 assists.
The Lady Reds really got things going with a 23-5 3rd Q and achieved a 41-16 2nd half.

RogK

Carroll loses to Trinity International (NAIA), 66-57.
Carroll did well from 3-land, .385 (equal to .577 for 2FGs).
But they struggled shooting nearer the basket : 35% on 2FGs and 42% at the FT line.

RogK

Elmhurst lost 64-54 to Chapman U today, in the City of Orange, Calif.
Temperatures in the 60s took their toll on the Bluejays, who fell behind 17-2 in the 1st quarter.
Mia Riese was the only Bluejay to score in double figures for the game, making 5 of 6 2FG attempts.

Berea  67
North Park 60

Jayla Johnson: 16 pts, 7 rebs, 4 stls
Lauryn Alba Garner: 16 pts, 3:1 a:to

The Vikings whittled down a big Mountaineers lead to two in the final couple of minutes, but couldn't get over the hump. The game was decided at the FT line, where NPU shot a terrible 10-21 (48%), while by contrast the Mountaineers were a sparkling 26-33 (79%).

Tomorrow NPU faces a tough 3-1 Albion team in the consolation game of the NPU Thanksgiving Invite.
