Live Blog: Provident Pride - Third-Place Game

I'll be live-blogging today's 4:30 p.m. Provident Pride of Maryland Tournament third-place game as the Shoremen take on Eastern Shore rival Salisbury. A win would give the Shoremen their highest finish yet in the four-year old tournament. (Washington was fourth in 2005, sat out the tournament in 2006, and finished seventh in 2007.)

The Shoremen won their opening-round game against Stevenson before falling to St. Mary's, 88-60, in a semifinal last night. Salisbury beat Goucher in the tournament's first round before losing to Johns Hopkins, 54-47, in a semifinal yesterday evening.

Come back at 4:15 for the live blog below.

Live Blog: Provident Pride Semifinal

After defeating Stevenson, 89-76, in the first round of the tournament Tuesday, the Washington College men's basketball team continues its quest for its first Provident Pride of Maryland Championship this weekend at Stevenson. I'll be live-blogging all of the action from Saturday night's 8:00 pm semifinal against St. Mary's as well as from Sunday's championship (hopefully) or third-place game against Johns Hopkins or Salisbury.

The Shoremen got 18 points and nine rebounds from senior Tim Kohlrus in Tuesday's win and double-digit scoring performances off the bench from freshmen Adam Naymick and Kevin Breslin. The Seahawks had two players score at least 20 points - senior Alex Irmer and junior Camontae Griffin - in their first-round win over McDaniel Tuesday.

Saturday's live blog is below and should be active around 7:45.

Live Women's Basketball Blog: Washington-St. Mary's (MD)

On Friday night (11/21), I will be blogging from the Athletics & Recreation Center Arena on the campus of St. Mary's (MD) in St. Mary's City, MD for the women's basketball season opener between the Shorewomen and the Seahawks.

The two teams have met seven times with St. Mary's leading 5-2, but have not met since the 1999-2000 season. The Shorewomen played the Seahawks in each of their first seven seasons of women's hoops at WC. Washington won 69-61 in the 1994-95 season and 70-60 in the 1997-98 campaign. St. Mary's won the first meeting in 1993-94, the inaugural season of women's hoops at WC, 52-49.

St. Mary's is 1-2, playing all three games at home. They beat Ramapo, while losing to Susquehanna and Catholic. Allie Scott is averaging 19.3 points per game to lead the Seahawks.

Washington is playing its season opener and returns three starters, senior Brianne Slizofski and juniors Jessica Jamrogowicz and Jane O'Donnell.

Come back around 6:45 pm on Friday night (11/21) to follow the action on the blog.
