Crazy thing I realized over the weekend - CSP has more national championships than they do NSIC championships.

That's pretty crazy and is an indicator of just how hard it is to win in this conference.

This is good news. Heads would have exploded if the football AND volleyball teams got left out ;)

[Goods]

Out in the west #2 seed San Bernardino is hosting instead of making everyone fly to Hawaii to let #1 Chiaminade host. This happens from time to time. I'm hoping my CWU Wildcats can show some strength they built when they took on six ranked teams in the first 8 matches of the year, including a couple of solid NSIC teams.

Nobody likes traveling to Hawaii? :)
