Last night we needed to make a statement.  

This past week has been like no other week since I have been here at Wabash. Our team was in unusual territory.  We have never finished worse than 4th in my 5 years here and we found ourselves 6 games into conference, sitting in last place.  Our guys needed to respond.  We had an Earlham team come to Chadwick Court coming off a huge victory over Ohio Wesleyan (who beat us convincingly last Wed. and who beat Wittenberg by 22 points last night).  

We knew we would have our hands full. Our guys came out with the intensity we have been searching for and it came from our leaders:  

-Andrew Zimmer stepped up big-time with a career high 35 points

-Ryan Stephens had a career high 12 rebounds

-Earl Rooks had six point and six assists

It turns out this year in the NCAC there is a lot of parity.  After last nights game- 7 of the 10 teams have a 3-4 or 2-5 record.  Coach and I hope we have turned the corner and continue our aggressiveness on the defensive side of the ball.  We travel to Kenyon on Saturday to face a good 7-9 Kenyon team and will be back home next Wed. to face Wittenberg.
