Yale beat Central Arkansas 54-50 to take the WBI Championship. I believe this is the Ivy's third post-season championship, with the Columbia men winning the CIT in 2016 and the Princeton men winning the NIT in 1975. http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-baskbl/2017- 1... UCA tied the game at 50 with a minute to go. Yale worked the shot clock down and Roxy Barahman took a two pointer from the right side that missed the mark. Jen Berkowitz got the offensive board and was fouled hitting the go-ahead layup with 29 seconds left. She missed the FT and UCA got the ball back. Yale did a good job on defense, blocking the three point line and the lane, forcing the guard into a costly turnover with 5 seconds left. Berkowitz was fouled on the inbounds and hit both FTs to clinch the win. The UCA coach was pretty fired up throughout the game and she had some interesting post-game comments: http://www.thecabin.net/sports/20180329/yale- overt... - “What sad is seeing a team cut down the nets on your home court,†said Rushing, whose team, as the top seed in the tournament, played its fourth straight game at the Farris Center. It amounted to UCA’s fifth straight senior night. This one ended with tears of defeat. “We got outworked,†Rushing said. “We made some substitutions late and played selfish basketball. There was no way we should have lost that basketball game.†- Berkowitz was named Tournament MVP. She and Tamara Simpson were named to the All-Tournament team. Congratulations to Yale, which ended the year at 19-13 with its first postseason title and its most wins in one season. |
