More randomness, but focused randomness is what a blog is all about. CNNSI still has the final NAIA rankings from 1998 - 99 posted on their site. Westmont was ranked 9th in this poll, but officially finished 3rd after a strong run in the NAIA Tournament.

A correction is in order. Brian Gomes did not play in China with Chris Gonzales. Chris got back this weekend and really enjoyed the fellowship and the opportunity to play in China. The trip lasted 3 weeks and 11 games were played.
Ryan Monroe & Robin Eley both earned NAIA All-American Scholar Athlete status this year. Read more about it here. Both players are two year recipients of the award. Congrats!

Upon further review, the GSAC Sports page may be useful to quickly summarize this year and the tournament. Check it out here.
On a note related to the National Tournament, congrats to the Westmont Women's team for making it to nationals. Quite an awesome turn around!
This update is a bit late, but if you didn't follow the NAIA Tournament you may find this useful. The GSAC was well represented again this year. However, there should have been four teams instead of three. If the NAIA had an RPI rating Westmont would make it every year. Christian Heritage, BIOLA, and Azusa Pacific all made it. Christian Heritage did excellent and made it to the Final Four. For the other results you can look at the NAIA Tournament Site here.

Will Westmont keep with the Princeton style offense or switch back to a more traditional approach? Suddenly the team has an inside presence and a question mark on the perimeter. When was the last time that happened?
Westmont seniors made 155 of 210 three pointers this season (Blick, Eley, Monroe). Who will fill the void?
