NCAA Tournament final update
The University of Denver Pioneers men's hockey team delivered the second of their back to back national championships over the weekend. The Pioneers were lead by two freshman to the school's seventh hockey national championship. Freshman Goalie Peter Mannino won the Most Outstanding player of the Frozen Four. He was amazing in stopping 44 of 45 shots to lead DU to a 4-1 win. Freshman Forward Paul Stasny added two goals in the win. Congratulations to the Pioneers on their back to back national chamionships.
Well I guess I was wrong about Illinois beating North Carolina. Congratulations to the Tarheels on a great win. North Carolina coach Roy Williams has his first national championship in his 17 year career. You have to admit though he should send a nice gift to former coach Matt Doherty for his recruits that were pivotal in this championship season. The Tarheels held Illinois scoreless over the last 2:30 to secure a 75-70 win. F Sean May won the NCAA Men's Tournament Most Outstanding player. He dominated the final with scintillating shooting 10-11 from the field.
Out of a field of great teams the Baylor Lady Bears won the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship. They handily beat the Michigan State Lady Spartans by 84-62. The Lady Bears were lead by Sophia Young, the Most Outstanding Player of the Tournament. The Lady Bears have made Baylor proud in the wake of the Dave Bliss men's basketball program a few years ago. The Lady Bears were lead by Coach Kim Mulkey Robertson who is now the only person in the NCAA record book who has won a national championship as a player (1982 La. Tech), an assistant coach (1988 La. Tech), and as a head coach (2005 Baylor). She has made an amazing turnaround of the Lady Bears in only 5 years. Congratulations to the Lady Bears of Baylor on their first national championship.
