A basketball Cinderella story, no less. Congratulations to the University of Saint Francis mens basketball team - NAIA Division II National Champions! The Cougars held off top-ranked Walsh University 67-66 last Tuesday night to win the Championship. It really is something of a "Cinderella story," considering the Saint Francis Cougars were ranked 15th. They took down the 18th-ranked team, 2nd-ranked team, 10th-ranked team, 6th-ranked team, and finally the No. 1-ranked team in their successful quest for the Championship title.
Saint Francis Junior DeJovaun Sawyer-Davis scored 22 points for USF (28-9) and was named the tournament MVP after scoring 114 points in five games. Junior Ferdinand Morales-Soto earned the tournament 'Hustle' award. And Sawyer-Davis, Morales-Soto, Qadr Owens and Matt Edmonds were named to the All-Championship team. Not only that, but USF coach Jeff Rekeweg was named Rawlings NAIA Coach of the Year. Read USF's full story here...
