The Guru's Guide To The Philly/Suburban NCAA Women's Summer League

By Mel Greenberg

PHILADELPHIA --
The Philadelphia/Suburban NCAA Women's Basketball Summer League begins play Tuesday night and will continue Thursday and then each Tuesday and Thursday for the most part through late July when the playoffs begin.

The exception to the weekly competition is the week containing July 4 when only Thursday night July 5 will be listed for games.

The league, featuring primarily local players from all three NCAA Divisions, will for the third straight season host competition at the Kelly Bolish Gymnasium, home of the AAU Renegades, in Hatboro, Pa., in lower Bucks County off Davisville Road, near Byberry Road.

The facility is located off Davisville Road (left turn northbound) on Turnpike Drive and can be found on google maps.

With an expansion of one team to 12 there will be doubleheaders on all three courts at 7 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. on game nights.

David Kessler, though retired several years ago from the Phila. Dept. of Recreation, continues to be the commissioner.

His email is at deucedbk@comcast.net. to direct all inquiries.

Eight teams will qualify for the playoffs that will consist of single elimination play in the quarterfinals and semifinals followed by a best-of-three set that will be held for the finals.

The quarterfinals will be played July 31, the semifinals on August 2, followed by the championship series on August 7, 8, and, if necessary 9, which means the season will end before the St. Joseph's crew heads to Ireland for a tour prior to the start of the fall semester.

Lime Green is the defending champion though the roster from last season does have some alterations.

Under NCAA rules, only two teammates from existing Division I school rosters can play together but an exception is made to allow incoming freshmen to join them.

However, Division II and Division III university teams can compete (past players and present) as a unit. The rosters below list in parenthesis the teams that play as a unit, for the most part: Division II West Chester and the Division II trio of University of theSciences in Philadelphia, Holy Family, and Philadelphia University, all of which also compete in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC).

Next to the schools identified on the rosters with the player are the projected graduation year so '13 are seniors this fall, '14 juniors, '15 sophomores and '16 incoming freshmen. There's a waggle on certain University of Sciences of Philadelphia players because of a work-study program in terms of graduation year should you notice a '17.

Your Guru will be on the scene nights in which he is not at any of his three WNBA East Coast venues or elsewhere, but will also provide results here off live coverage and results emailed from the league.

The WNBA month-long break for the Olympics will allow him to be on hand most nights that other things don't interfere with his projected schedule.

Also Tom Utescher of the Chestnut Hill Local provides ongoing coverage as does Stuart London at phillyBurbs.com.

Hopefully, for now, if this comes clean enough, here are the rosters of the teams, all of which are off a color naming scheme with some having identified coaches.

The site does have a concession stand and the items are reasonably priced and are tasty.

Now, here are the rosters. The Guru will list the next night's schedule after play begins, though Commissioner Kessler often provides printouts as part of a newsletter.

Opening week action is listed below after the rosters:
