Season Summary
Well, what a year it was! After an expected disappointing non-conference showing, including kicking off the season by getting blown out by a lowly Long Island team, the Leathernecks started winning games when it counted in the conference play, beating a formidable IUPUI team in double-OT and continuing to keep among the ranks of the top of the standings, only dropping both games to a very tough IPFW team. They dropped off production towards the end, with three straight loss in winnable games, but finished the season with a win to go into the Conference Tournament, where they met the tough IPFW team in the semifinals. While both teams battled hard, the Leathernecks were down by 5 at the end of one half. Then, the Leathernecks dominated the second half to win by a sound ten points and to play an unexpected Oakland team. While they had a scare, they took the win in overtime and went to the CCAA tourney, against the Cincinnati Bearcats. While showing much heart, they were just to slow and couldn't handle Cincinnati, in a game that ended a great season.
