Mustangs to host ECAC first round game

The season is not over yet for the Stevenson Mustangs women’s basketball team. With a 17-9 record, the Mustangs have been selected to the 15-team ECAC Division III women’s basketball championship field. It is the team’s third appearance in the ECAC Championships in four years and marks the fourth-straight postseason for the Mustangs.

Stevenson is the top seed in Region 4 and will host Cabrini in a first round game on Wednesday night at 7 pm at Owings Mills Gymnasium. Should they win they will play the winner of a game between Rutgers University-Camden and Misericordia on Friday, March 3 at top overall seed Carnegie Mellon in the quarterfinals.

The ECAC semifinals and finals are on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Stevenson’s star forward Sara Tarbert, who now owns the Division III women’s basketball record with 27-consecutive double-doubles dating back to last season, was named the repeat MAC Commonwealth Player of the Year after averaging 23 points and 13.5 rebounds per game this year. She also averaged 2.8 steals, 2.5 assists and 1.7 blocks per game and shot 51.4-percent from the floor.

Stevenson’s defense has allowed only 57.8 points per game this season.

Corey Johns

Editor in Chief

You could say Corey was born to become a sports journalist. His father won a national championship coaching college soccer. His mother is a baseball fanatic who hasn't missed seeing an Orioles game since 1983 (literally, sometimes it's annoying). His great uncle was a big-time boxing promoter and his maternal grandfather was once a department head at the Baltimore Sun. Basically, sports and journalism run through his blood. He played just about every little league sports there was when he was a kid and was a multi-sport athlete in high school; even playing in the first-ever high school sanction Rugby game in the country. Eventually he retired from sports as an undefeated Maryland state Rugby champion as a high school senior. Perhaps lack of athletic talent has more to do with the retirement, but he will tell you that it more had to do with a great desire to jump right into media. Upon his graduation from University of Maryland, Baltimore County as a triple communications major, Corey started the So Much Sports network and has continued to grow his websites and continues to work to make them premier sports media outlets.
