WBB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

I'm just saying...hard to believe that there isn't even a thread for this conference. They do have two teams in the dance, one of them hosting.

Maybe it will stay alive this time. I think it got eliminated in some automated purge years ago because it hadn't been posted on in 12 months, and never came back.

Well, that was fun.

See ya next year!

Just want to give a shout out the to Thomas More Saints and their senior class of Jill Brunsman, Katie Kitchen, and Allison Long. These 3 girls have done some incredible things these last four years and are looking to end their careers with a bang. Hope all goes well for you ladies and that you have a successful run in the NCAA tourney.

Just a few stats from this class:

4 year combined record of 108-11
Four straight conference regular season and tournament championships.
4 year conference record of 60-2 and undefeated at home in the conference.

Way to go ladies. Keep up the hard work and here's hoping to a successful tournament run.

Thanks for coming in and posting! Hopefully we can get a PAC conversation going, although there are schools in this conference who barely know we exist.

No problem. I have been visiting your sight for 4 years and finally decided to post. I really appreciate the efforts you make to promote the division 3 athletes and their spectacular efforts to play the sports they love! Keep up the good work!

Did you watch the Thomas More-Carthage game at all? What is it that the PAC teams lack that would help them compete better in the tourney?

Go Saints · March 05, 2013, 08:57:02 AM

I was at the game. This bracket was a terrible match up for Thomas More. Just the pure size of every team in the quad was going to give them problems with some of the things they try to do offensively and defensively. That said, the game was close until 5mins left in the game. Carthage just flat outplayed Thomas More down the stretch. I think there are plenty of quality teams in the PAC to allow for the top of the conference to be well prepared for tournament play.

The Saints have flourished this season by making a high percentage of 3's and Carthage did a very good job of taking that away. Like all tournaments, the games themselves come down to match ups. You see it at all levels. This particular game did not set up well for Thomas More but I don't think that is an indictment of the conference.

Nice start to the season Saints! Keep working hard and getting better!

Go Saints · December 02, 2013, 08:35:15 AM

Looks like the front court combination of Moss and Burgoyne has been a scoring dynamo for the Saints this year! Well done ladies. Keep up the good work and lets concentrate on the defense a little bit heading into conference play, Ok?

Go Saints · January 09, 2014, 04:13:02 PM

Looks like the Saints have not missed a beat with conference play in full swing! Glad to see the defense picking up a little bit. Keep it going ladies!
