Men’s Basketball to Play in CAC Championship

Women Lose in Semifinal Match

 

The 2003/04 men’s and women’s basketball teams finished their seasons at no. 1.

The men’s basketball team notched its 12th consecutive victory, defeating Goucher College 62-51 in the semifinals of the 2004 Capital Athletic Conference tournament on Feb. 26. The Cardinals (22-5, 12-2 CAC) will visit Mary Washington College in the championship game on Saturday, Feb. 28, at 2 p.m. (tentative time) in Fredericksburg, Va.

 

If the men defeat Mary Washington, they receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III championship tournament, which would be the team’s seventh consecutive appearance.

 

The women’s team (21-6, 11-3 CAC) lost to York College of Pennsylvania 81-76 in the semifinals of the CAC tournament on Feb. 26. However, they still hope for a slot in the 2004 Eastern College Athletic Conference tournament.

 

Thanks to victories over Goucher College on Feb. 21, Catholic University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams each finished the regular season as co-champions in the Capital Athletic Conference. This is the first time in the university's history that the men's and women's teams both finished on top at the end of the regular season. The men shared first-place honors with Mary Washington College and the women with Marymount University.
