History was made this weekend as the OU Women's Basketball Team wins the 2009 SCAC Conference Championship. This is the first women's championship in the history of the school!! Coach Sattele was able to sub freely in both our first round, 14 point victory over Millsaps and also in our 20 point, second round game against Centre. We were then able to take some revenge on Trinity in the championship game. Earlier in the year they were able to take advantage of our poor shooting, but not this time. We shot a record breaking 58.9% from the floor in the championship game leading us to an 82-65 victory. It was amazing!! This was the third year in a row that we made it to the conference championship game and it was a like a weight was lifted off our shoulders when we finally won the game!! Below are the Seniors with our Championship Trophy!!!

But we are not done yet. This year, the NCAA's are coming to us as we get to host the first and second round games this weekend. First, Greensboro and Mississippi College play and then we play Maryville (Tenn). Earlier in the season we were able to defeat the Scots on their home court so we know they are looking to get back at us, but our senior class remembers our freshman year when Maryville knocked us out of the NCAA tournament in the first round, so we feel that it is our turn to finish their season. Then on Saturday, the winners of the two games play. Should be good games on both nights!!

It is so nice to have home games this weekend for more reasons then just the basketball. Yes, it is great to have the home court advantage, but it will also be good to be able to not have to miss any class this week. After already missing class the past two weeks, I will now have time to get caught back up. There is a chance that we might be able to host again next weekend which would make this tournament even more amazing. GO PETRELS!!!
