COLLEGE BASKETBALL: THREE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS CROWNED AMID OTHER POSTSEASON ACTION
*** USCAA DIVISION ONE ***
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – The top seeded DAEMEN COLLEGE WILDCATS did battle with the 3 seeds – the ROCHESTER COLLEGE WARRIORS – for the National Championship of the USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association). Unfortunately, after all the exciting hoops action so far in the USCAA Tournament this title game was a bit disappointing. The Wildcats outclassed the Warriors on both sides of the ball and by Halftime had compiled a 43-21 advantage. After the break they remained in control, ultimately winning by a final score of 77-53. Gerald Beverly led Daemen College with 19 points. * CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WILDCATS, THE 2015 CHAMPIONS OF THE USCAA! * Continue reading

COLLEGE BASKETBALL POSTSEASON ACTION CONTINUES
*** ACCA ***
FIRST SEMIFINAL – The first semifinal in the National Championship Tournament of the ACCA (Association of Christian College Athletics) was played between the Defending Champions – the ARLINGTON BAPTIST COLLEGE PATRIOTS – and the HILLSDALE FREE WILL BAPTIST COLLEGE SAINTS. The Patriots could just smell a return to the title game and had compiled a 45-31 lead by the Halftime buzzer. In the 2nd Half every run by the trailing Saints was answered by another run by Arlington Baptist College. The Patriots thus kept Hillsdale at arm’s-length the rest of the way and ultimately won by a final score of 95-77. Up next Arlington Baptist tries to make it back-to-back national titles in the ACCA!
SECOND SEMIFINAL – The battle for the other slot in the title game pitted the FAITH BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE EAGLES against the heavily favored DALLAS CHRISTIAN COLLEGE CRUSADERS. The Eagles faced a very early 10-7 deficit but a 17-2 run put them out in front of the Crusaders. After that the lead went back and forth with Dallas Christian College clinging to a tight 42-40 lead at Halftime. After the break the lead was exchanged several more times before Faith Baptist got a bit of separation, then made clutch free-throws late to preserve a 92-85 upset win. Josh Bray led the Eagles with 28 points while teammates Jon Luke Talton, Ryan Kupferschmid and Aaron Leistikow notched Double Doubles. Continue reading
