The D2 quarterfinals got underway this afternoon in Missouri. Cal U of PA won the first game, advancing to the Final Four (Meredy is psyched!). The players over the past few weeks have spent some time interacting with local kids, building fan support. pretty cool... Washburn, playing close to home, should have plenty of fans.

In the pre-tourney banquet, Vulcan star Becky Siembak won Player of the Year. WU's Crystal Walker was named first team All-American. Despite Seattle Pacific's loss last round, SPU coach Presnell won Coach of the Year.

We will pass on results and reports on today's games once they're in.
