Two Geoduck track athletes posted Cascade Collegiate Conference Championship qualifying marks while five others ran personal bests at the Erik Anderson Memorial Ice Breaker in McMinnville, Ore. this past weekend.

The Evergreen State men’s basketball team received an at-large bid to the NAIA national tournament in Point Lookout, Mo., that starts this week. The Geoducks (19-10 overall, 12-6 CCC) got their at-large bid despite being upset by Northwest University at home in the quarterfinals of the Cascade Collegiate Conference tournament. The Geoducks will be the No. 14 seed and face No. 8 seed Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University of Daytona Beach, Fla. Embry is the Sun Conference Champion and boasts a 28-5 record coming into the tournament.

Three Geoduck basketball players received post-season honors from the Cascade Collegiate Conference this past week for their outstanding play over the course of the 2009-10 season. On the women’s side, Latrina Woods was named to her first All-CCC team as well as CCC Newcomer of the Year. Woods averaged 13.8 points a game and 4.4 rebounds per game while accumulating 45 steals on the season. The junior transfer from Skyway, Wash., finished the season second in minutes played (34.07/gm) and sixth in scoring (13.8/gm). Two Geoduck men also received post-season accolades from the CCC.
