Carthage over Wheaton in CCIW women's semis in Bloomington.  Titans up next.

My congrats, too, for Christina Solari, Coach Smith and the four Titans who made the All-conference team/honors.  Great stuff.  Well deserved.   A perfectly dominating regular season.

Titans over NCC -- so Titans vs. Carthage for CCIW Tourney title and DIII tourney bid tomorrow, Sunday, at 2 p.m.  Great balance, good rebounding, strong bench play by the Titans again tonight -- what they have been doing all year.  Keep it rolling . . .

With the CCIW Track Championships at Shirk, too, it must be a jumping place right now. 

Titan Q

Here is a nice local news video on some work IWU is doing with an elementary school in town...

Mia Smith has a really impressive group of young women on her squad.  On and off the court, they have really made everyone associated with the school very proud

Mr. Ypsi

IWU up 35-25 at the half.  Game was very tight until the Titans got the last 6 points of the half.

IWU 75 Carthage 55 Final

Congratulations Titans - 3rd straight CCIW Title, NCAA Tournament and indefeated in regular season play!  A great accomplishment.  Now go win it all!!

Mr. Ypsi

Final: IWU 75, Carthage 55.  The Lady Reds refused to ever completely go away, but the margin was double digits throughout the second half.

Christina Solari had a very quiet first half, but dominated in the second, finishing with 18 points.  Claire Sheehan had 14 (12 in the first half).  Mallory Heydorn had another of her down days, something like 2-12 from the field and only about 4 points until some fts at the end.  Stacey Arlis had 13 off the bench.

Rosie Dorn had 17 for Carthage, and Lisa Gartelos chipped in 13.

Congratulations to IWU - 27-0 and both regular-season and tourney titles!  One more title to go!! ;)

Bench really contributed ; IWU played much better in the paint in 2nd half

Congrats to the Lady Titans for their win today and on a great season.  Congrats also to the broadcasting team that made it possible and enjoyable to watch the game online.  Nice job to all.

It sounds like IWU will be hosting at least 2 games in the national tournament, maybe more.

Any speculation on other CCIW teams that might make it into the tournament?

I don't think any are regarded as viable candidates, but the coverage is much less here than for the men's Pool C.

Absolutely no chance for anyone else in the CCIW.  The six teams in the NCAA's regional rankings last week were IWU, Wash U, three WIAC schools, and St. Norbert's.  Only a few (2 or so) pool C bids will go out to schools beyond the members of that group who need them (Whitewater and Eau Claire).  There are some other conferences with automatic bids to be included as well.  All the other CCIW teams have too many in-region losses for consideration.

It was a tough contest today at Shirk; the 75-55 final margin looks deceptively one-sided and that was the largest lead of the game due to Holly Harvey's three right before the final buzzer.  Both teams went for the inside game, with Christina Solari scoring 18 and Stacey Arlis 13 for the Titans, Lisa Gartelos adding 13 for Carthage, and Rosie Dorn, off the bench, leading the Reds with 17.  Most of Dorn's points came on drives and points in transition.  She played a fine game.

The halftime margin was ten, and the Reds hung around.   The Titans shot 47% from the field and had 34 points in the paint.  Others who contributed were Claire Sheehan with 14 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal, and Mallory Heydorn, with 9 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals.  It's not at all accurate or fair to call this a "down day" for Mallory--she contributes a great deal to the flow of the Titan game at both ends of the court even when the shots aren't dropping.  Nikki Preston seemed to have a target on her jersey today--she was called for five fouls in just 8 minutes of play and then was reprimanded for leaving the court without being given permission to do so, something I wasn't even aware was in the rule book.  From where I sat it looked as if might she have committed one or two fouls at most--but that's a small matter.

On to the NCAAs for the Titans!
You'll never walk alone.
