I am hearing conflicting stories but SJU Softball season was cancelled. One story said SJU did it. Then another says it came from the A10. Whatever, the timing is awful. First, this is SBU Senior Day. Their kids won't have a chance to play on their day and it's debatable if they make the A10 tournament. Bonnies statement said they will have a picnic on Sunday at 12 noon. Then SJU kids who played under this cloud and had nothing to do with this will suffer. Third, this COULD screw La Salle. Will SBU get forfeits for those three games or will they get no-contests? If Bonnies get the forfeits La Salle could get screwed.
Just a mess and awful way to handle this situation.

After the hazing incidents at SJU were disclosed the program has played about 20 games without some Seniors. The final weekend of the season is here and playoff spots are up for grabs in the A10. Seniors and their families are gathering to see what could be the conclusion of their careers. Then the announcement comes today that SJU will not travel to Olean and their season is done. This impacts La Salle, St. Bonnies and UMASS. How do you handle games being cancelled that are not weather related on such short notice? The league uses winning percentage to determine their standings. Presently, La Salle is in the tournament but strange things could happen this weekend....looks like it already has started to happen.
Imagine if this happened in a more visible sport? I wonder about the leadership at a few places in this league today.
Also, I can't see the coach and her staff surviving this debacle.

This has been quietly playing out for a while then was discovered last month by channel 6.
Oh the roll out material...
Feel bad for the student athletes who get punished but took no part.

Does that include the La Salle players who could see themselves denied a playoff spot due to circumstances beyond their control? At this point I have no idea how the league will handle this situation. Really I wouldn't stoop to the level of using this situation as cheap fodder for rollouts. One SJU Freshmen had to move out of her dorms because she didn't feel comfortable. I hope the young lady isn't mentally scared by the events that happened to her. I hope she finds support to help her deal with the events. |

Explorers got the fifth seed and lost a close one to #4 George Mason. Beat #6 Bonnies with walk off HR. This was La Salle's first post-season win since 1996. Today they upset #2 seed SLU 5-4. Play #1 seed Dayton who was upset by #3 Fordham in the Loser's Bracket on Friday at 2:30.

Play #1 seed Dayton who was upset by #3 Fordham in the Loser's Bracket on Friday at 2:30. How does the postseason work? Double Elimination. La Salle is in the Elimination/Loser's bracket. The winner of the bracket plays the one undefeated team left. Basically any team with two losses is eliminated. La Salle needs to beat Dayton then beat the loser of George Mason and Fordham to get to the Championship Round on Friday. Would need to beat that team twice to get the A10 Championship on Saturday. In otherwords, it's a tough row to hoe coming out of the Loser's bracket. www.atlantic10.com/fls/31600/pdfs/Softball/2015_Softball_Bracket_Final.pdf?CONTENT_ID=981972&ATCLID=210068003&SPSID=799955&SPID=136219&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=31600 |

Finished in fourth place after loss to #1 Dayton. Tremendous effort by the young team. They showed great resilience coming back from several deficits in the playoffs. Congrats to Coach Shoemaker, his staff and entire team. Special congrats to Michelle Hagarty who had a outstanding playoffs and season under extreme circumstances.
This team made the playoffs last year and left after the first day. This year they stuck around for three days and won two games. Future looks bright with the young team a year older and some talented recruits arriving. Best wishes to the seniors who helped establish credibility and a culture.
