BeK Thanks for doing this all season.

We watched part of the Big West championship game online and noticed a familiar person on the sideline for Hawaii. I did not know it but RU former player Courtney Locke is an assistant coach for Hawaii.

Hawaii has a good team and was the only team in the Big West to beat UCD this season. So, I was afraid that the Rainbow Wahine were going to pull the upset (I was rooting for the Aggies) but UCD pulled it out. Of course, it is sad for Hawaii but if you get to go to college in Hawaii, .... So good for Davis since they had won the regular season championship at least 3 years in a row and failed in the tournament championship each time. The UCD star player, senior Bertsch, is a biomechanical engineering major. They even had the school chancellor there cutting down a piece of the net.

Go RU!

Apropos of nothing, it looks like the NMSU Aggies changed their uniform colours. Normal colours are crimson and black and grey, but the victory photo shows blue and purple (on home whites).
