No. 9 Northen Illinois beat No. 8 Akron today in the first round of the MAC Tournament, 8-0, to end the Zips season.
If you want a silver lining, Tanya Gombera won the sportsmanship award.
Football
Without yet playing a game in 2006, the Zips bowl chances have improved.
The NCAA approved four new bowls for next season, with a possible fifth. Two of these games could include MAC teams.
As VanDelaySports.com reported about a month ago, the Birmingham Bowl and International Bowl could have MAC representatives.

From today’s newspaper:
Buchtel seniors Rydell Brooks and Donald Garth have announced where they will continue their basketball careers in college.
Brooks, a 6-foot-2 guard who helped guide the Griffins to three consecutive City Series championships and was named the City Series Player of the Year the past two seasons, will play at Division I Niagara University next season.
Brooks, a second-team Division II All-Ohio performer, averaged 27.5 points this past season.
Buchtel coach Stephen White, who was the Associated Press Division II Co-Coach of the Year, said Garth, a 6-2 guard/forward, will be a preferred walk-on at the University of Akron. Garth earned honorable mention All-Ohio honors after averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds this year.
