Moving On

Moving On

Thursday we visited Valparaiso University, 90-minutes away in northwest Indiana, where Clare probably will go to graduate school in sports management.  Of course, we checked out the softball field.  “Valpo,” with roughly the same enrollment as Elmhurst, plays Division I.  It’s a “little engine that could” approach to sports which has been known to work; remember Valpo upset Mississippi in the 1998 NCAA men’s basketball tournament on Bryce Drew's three-pointer with no time left on the clock.  Anyway, Clare looked at the field and said, “I could’ve gone here.”

And today I checked on the D-III softball NCAA tournament results; all three CCIW entries won.  But we move on.
