Loved this post! I can’t always keep up with all of the athletics going on on campus, so I enjoyed reading the re-cap. I had been wondering about the women’s basketball game; I work front desk at the new hotel in town, and we had UW-Eau Claire families celebrating in the lobby. Looks like it was a good game, though!
I enjoy being able to read your blogs every week to educate myself on how warhawk sports are doing. It was a shame about the women’s basketball team. but I am confident that they will earn an at large bid, and make their way into the NCAA tournament. I am sure they will thrive there, and show teams what the Warhawks can do!
I love the idea of this blog! I follow many of the sports teams on social media but often feel they don’t ever give a good insight into how the game went. It will be interesting to see how the Women’s basketball team bid will be placed for the NCAA tournament. Looking forward to your content within the coming weeks!
It will be interesting to see if the women’s team is able to make it in. I hope they do!
