Philly Summer League: Leaders Short-Circuit Upset Bids as Gold Clinches First 2014 Playoff Berth
By Mel Greenberg
HATBORO, Pa. -- Teams White, Orange, and Black nearly squandered all of big leads each held before escaping with victories while Gold clinched the first of eight playoff slots Thursday night in the Philadelphia/Suburban Women's NCAA Summer Basketball League at Kelly Bolish Gym, home of the AAU Renengades in lower Bucks County.
Three nights remain on the regular season schedule -- two next week and then on Tuesday, August 5 -- before the quarterfinals begin two nights later.
Overall, there was one very slight ripple in the standings on Thursday night.
However, winless Royal Blue (0-9) became the first team eliminated, but not before erasing all but one of a 21-point deficit down the stretch to Orange, which held on for a 77-74 victory.
There are a technical clear eight in the current standings but only because Purple (5-5) snapped an eight-place tie with a 59-30 win over Red (2-7), while Pink (4-5), also known as the Division II University of the Sciences of Philadelphia contingent, was idle.
That was the slight ripple previously mentioned.
Meanwhile, the Guru spoke too soon to longtime Commissioner David B. Kessler earlier in the evening.
The Guru noted that his individual nightly performance standard of 20 or more points was becoming a rarity.
Then no less than six players achieved the distinction with four of them -- two on each side -- collecting big totals in the Orange/Royal Blue matchup.
Ciara Andrews, a Saint Joseph's junior out of Cheltenham, turned in the season's third best nightly performance with 29 points and was 5-for-5 from the line for Royul Blue while Sarah Fairbanks on Hunter Green, who holds the best performance with 35 points in a win laat week over Orange, now also owns the fourth best performance eih 28 points in Hunter Green's 66-53 loss to Sky Blue.
Continuing a trend, Saint Joseph's were all over the scoring leaderships in the six games played.
Saint Joseph's Summer Stars Reunion in Maryland
The Guru recently reported the Loyola, Md., announcement that former Hawks and summer league star Katie Kuester, who spent last season as the video coordinator for North Carolina, has been hired as an assistant coach by Joe Logan, who is a former assistant on Hawk Hill to Cindy Griffin.
The Guru happened to meet Kuester Wednesday in the nation's capital at the Washington Convention Center where many collegiate coaches have descended to scout talent in AAU Competition at the U.S. junior national tournament.
Kuester noted how much she misses the summer action, said she follows the league by computer, and sent her wishes to everyone.
Earlier in the day when the Guru was over at the WNBA contest beteen the host Mystics and Connecticut Sun, the Guru ran into Hall of Fame North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell, who said of Kuester: "I'm going to miss her. I din't want to lose her but she's going to do well."
Meanwhile, though Logan hasn't formally made the announcement, he told the Guru he is bringing aboard Erin Shields, another former Hawks and summer league star, as director of basketball operations.
He also hired former Villanova star Sarah Jones.
"Our office is going to be something when Saint Joseph's and Villanova meet, we might have to go up to Philly to watch that one," Logan quipped.
Sewing the Seeds
As mentioned, not much changed Thursday night, but there will be clinchings and more eliminations probably when the action of the three doubleheaders take place Tuesday night.
Gold, with a two-game lead, is a clear No. 1 seed and either a win over Pink Tuesday night or a White loss to Maroon will give Gold the top seed in the playoffs.
White (7-2), also known as the Division II West Chester squad, is clearly second, while Hunter Green (6-4) and Maroon (6-4), which both lost Tuesday, are tied for third and Hunter Green gets the higher seed off a recent win over Maroon.
Black (5-4), Orange (5-4), and Sky Blue (5-4) all won but did not play any game amongst them self so Black at 1-0 in the group stays fifth, Orange at 1-1 for sixth, and Sky Blue (0-1) is seventh.
Purple (5-5) is eighth with the 59-30 win over 12th place Red (2-7), which is all alone in the slot.
Pink (4-5) is ninth, and since both Kelly Green (3-6) and Navy Blue (3-6) both lost, Kelly Green stays 10th off its head-to-head win over Navy Blue in overtime.
