Tribe Gets Close, But CAA Crown Goes to ODU

By Matt Poms, of the W&M Flat Hat Monday, March 08, 2010

The magic was just inches below the surface, waiting to be unleashed. A deep three-pointer from senior guard Danny Sumner had pulled William and Mary to within five points of conference behemoth Old Dominion with 61 seconds remaining in the CAA championship game, the closest the College had reached since early in the first half.

By Matt Poms, of the W&M Flat Hat Sunday, March 07, 2010

The scene had seemingly played out just three weeks earlier, 40 miles east on I-64. William and Mary (22-9, 12-6), holding a sizeable halftime lead on Northeastern (20-12, 14-4), had wavered in the second half, surrendering its once 14-point advantage in the final minute. But just like that Jan. 13 home win over the Huskies, the Tribe’s resilience came through – this time with the stakes much higher.

Tribe Rising: A Special Report

By Jack Lambert, of the W&M Flat Hat Tuesday, March 02, 2010

On Jan. 31, William and Mary won its 15th game of the season, a 54-51 home victory over Drexel. The win marked the third time in the past four years the Tribe reached the 15-win plateau, a feat not accomplished since the 1980 to 1983 seasons.

At Old Dominion or Virginia Commonwealth, 15 wins in three of the past four years means very little. At the College, one of only five original members of Division I basketball to have never made the NCAA tournament, it means a lot.

Over the next two weeks, The Flat Hat is examining the rise of William and Mary basketball and the consequences that go with it. Part one details the Tribe’s recruiting class for next season and the success of the coaching staff. Part two examines issues facing the Tribe as they hope to become an elite program in the CAA.

Jamestown's Mearns a Double Winner at State AA Track

By Jim McGrath Sunday, February 28, 2010

With all the recent success enjoyed by the Jamestown track teams, it was surprising that they entered Saturday’s AA state championship at the Tolsma Track Center in Lynchburg without having ever won an individual championship.

No one was more aware of it than senior Colin Mearns. Last November, he suffered a heartbreaking loss in the state cross-country championships, losing the lead in the final homestretch. On Saturday, he was primed for revenge.
