USCAA National Tournament Wrap-up

The Lady Mustangs traveled to Uniontown, PA last week to participate in the USCAA National Basketball Tournament. Seeded 16th, the Mustangs were matched up against #1, and annual powerhouse, Rochester College from Michigan. Our team was down by only 14 points at the half but couldn't contain the hot shooting of Rochester and lost the game by a score of 79-39.

In game two, the Mustangs were matched up against number eight seed Robert Morris University from Springfield, Ill. They played their best ball of the tournament in the first half and headed to the locker room down by only four points. However, fatigue was a factor in the second half and the squad dropped a 74-50 decision.

Let me say that I am very proud of our Lady Mustangs and their coaching staff for a great season and a spirited run at the nationals. They may have been outplayed and outscored but they were never “outclassed.” In typical CMCC fashion the athletes played hard until the last whistle and never gave an inch. To Kayla and Tierra - thank you for your years of commitment and dedication to our program. You are what every CMCC player should aspire to! To Coach Morong and his staff - great job leading this team, and thank you!
