Philly Women's Summer League: White Surges To 3rd Seed As Maroon and Forest Green Finish First

By Bob Heller and Mel Greenberg (@womhoopsguru)

HATBORO, Pa. – Maroon/USciences and Forest Green/West Chester repelled any threat of upsets Tuesday night and became regular-season co-champions of the Philadelphia/Suburban Women’s NCAA-Certified Summer Basketball League here at Kelly Bolish Gym, home of the AAU Renegades.

Maroon (9-2) recovered from last Thursday’s upset by Royal Blue/Kutztown and beat Sun/Ursinus 68-54, a loss that knocked  Team Sun out of the playoffs through a tiebreaker and set the eight-team postseason field for the quarterfinals that begin Thursday with two doubleheaders on Courts 1 and 2 tipping off at 7 p.m. followed by nightcaps at 8:15 p.m.

The semifinals are next Tuesday followed by the 2017 championship action a week from Thursday.

Forest Green (9-2) gained a piece of the regular season crown by beating Royal Blue/Kutztown 73-58, depriving the opposition of forcing a three-way tie for second and taking the No. 2 slot.

Instead, White after an untraditional 1-3 start and then coming to life with a seven-game win streak the rest of the way, capped the surge with a 75-54 win over previously eliminated Purple (1-10) and finished all alone in third at 8-3.

Purple/Delaware Valley College finished 12th in a tiebreak at the bottom determining final standings off a loss to Pink/Penn State-Abington, though the lone win for Purple came off a forfeit earlier this month.
  
Maroon will have the top seed off a thrilling double-overtime win in its seasonal meeting with Forest Green. 

Two other ties had to be broken for playoff seedings and the latter also to eliminate the last team in what was a three-for-two slots deadlock for the final available berths that were up for grabs Tuesday.

The loss by Royal Blue knocked it back into a three-way fourth place tie with Black/Thomas Jefferson U. (7-4), which got into the mix easily beating previously-eliminated Red/Chestnut Hill 61-41, while Electric Green (7-4) made it a threesome by beating Orange/Holy Family 78-57.

The three teams tied for fourth were 1-1 against each other but Royal Blue’s upset of Maroon last Thursday gave it the best outside win in the trio and thus the fourth seed leaving Electric Green’s head-to-head win over Black to give it the fifth slot and relegating Black to sixth.

Orange’s loss at the conclusion of the 11-game schedule placed it into a threesome for the seventh slot with Sun (5-6) and with Sky Blue, which helped itself easily beating previously eliminated Pink 71-41 and taking the seventh seed by going 2-0 against the other teams in the group.

Orange then became the eighth seed off its head-to-head win over Sun.

Completing the standings, Red finishes at 10th at 2-9 followed by the Pink and Purple 1-10 records referenced earlier.

Consider this post a wrap up and set up while Bob is back to provide the details of the Tuesday games in a bit and will be on hand for the playoff coverage. 

On the next sunrise the Guru will have a complete playoff package.

The Quarterfinal Matchups

Action will open Thursday night at 7 p.m. with top-seeded Maroon (7-2) meeting Orange (5-6) on Court 1, while over on Court 2 third-seeded White (8-3) will meet Black/Thomas Jefferson U (7-4) (formerly Philadelphia U.).

The doubleheaders will conclude at 8:15 with second-seeded Forest Green (9-2) meeting seventh-seeded Sky Blue (5-6) while fifth-seeded Electric Green (7-4) will meet fourth-seeded Royal Blue (7-4) on Court 2.

The highest surviving seed advancing to Tuesday’s semifinals will meet the lowest surviving seed at 7 p.m. on Court 1 with the second and third lowest surviving seeds meeting at 8:15 p.m.

Winners will then advance to Thursday’s title game a week from now it what may be a wide-open playoff considering the way the regular season occurred.

Until recently the title round would be a best-of-three affair but longtime commissioner David Kessler can’t have any of that because the time is approaching when players begin heading back to school or a brief vacation and then back to school, meaning the risk of forfeits playing havoc is too great.  

Saint Joseph's Senior Duo of Woods and Fioravanti Top Milestone Performers

Though some had their teams eliminated and some will move on to continue the next several nights, Tuesday had a productive occurrence in the Guru’s individual 20 or more points performance.

Six players hit the milestone and in all there were 45 postings across the schedule, highlighted by Saint Joseph’s seniors Chelsea Woods of Electric Green and Amanda Fioravanti of White, whose 20 points Tuesday helped White secure the third seed.

Each hit the milestone seven times this season and Fioravanti early on the schedule had the top night of the season with 41 points. Mia Hopkins of Forest Green/West Chester hit the number five times, including 24 in the Forest Green win on Tuesday.

The complete running chart is down below.

Sky Blue Erin Lindahl’s 25 points, the top performance on Tuesday, helped her team get to the playoffs, while eliminated Pink’s Shayna Rodriguez was right behind her with 24 fueled by six 3-balls.

Penn sophomore Kristen Daley of the eliminated Sun team had 21 and has had multiple top nights while Anjeliah Hayes of Orange also had 21 to complete the group of six.

The Commissioner’s Notebook: Where They Come From

In the nightly newsletter Tuesday, Commissioner Kessler provided the following stats on this year’s participants.

Over 30 players represented some 50 collegiate programs, some of which are not in the area, though some of those players are locally grown.

And in that regard, Archbishop Wood had six alums on teams, followed by five each from Archbishop Ryan and St. Basil’s, four each from Germantown Academy, North Penn, Spring-Ford, and Central Bucks, three from Bayard Rustin, Merion Mercy and Cardinal O’Hara.

Rounding out the high school graduate multiple affiliations, two each are from Mount St. Joseph’s, Souderton, Nazareth Academy, Episcopal Academy, Villa Jos. Marie, Upper Dublin, Strath Haven, Atlantic Christian, Shipley School, and Harriton High.

And all that said, as promised, back in 24 hours other than the stats below, but here’s Bob with the Recaps.
