And as we all know, a CC Victory automatically extends an invitation to the National Tournament! We came in as the #8 seed in the North to face the #1 seed in the North, East Texas Baptist University who is not only the #1 seed in the North bracket, but the #1 WIS, Coaches, and Press ranked team in Yost DIII. I'm pretty sure the train ride ends here. But I am very, very happy with how this season turned out, I met my goal of obtaining a winning season and surpassed it with not only getting into the CC game, but winning it, and THEN getting invited to the National Tournament even if we were only ranked as WIS #97.
Oh, and for those that are curious, this in only the second time in the history of CUA (Yost) to make it to the National Tournament in 40 seasons.
