Pilots vs Santa Clara, Monday 3/11, 2:30pm, ESPN+

Former Pilot Keeley Frawley has been a starter for SCU all season, and in the two games against her former team this season she scored a combined 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.

Keeley will not be playing in today's game UP because she has now finished her collegiate playing days by forgoing the WCC Tournament to attend her sister's wedding in Australia.

When I spoke with Keeley a couple of weeks ago, she mentioned that she did not expect to play more basketball after finishing at Santa Clara, but was looking forward to playing her dad's sport, Australian Rules Football.

Go Pilots!

HOW DOES THIS TEAM KEEP DOING IT???????????

Make that 9 and 1 for Santa Clara in their last 10 games.

The tailspin has ended, officially.

Way to go ladies. Go Pilots.

And fourth year out of five the Pilots have won at least 20 games under Coach Meek...

In the only year they did not win 20 games (2020-21) under Meek, the Pilots represented the WCC in the Women's Invitational Tournament in Frankfort, Kentucky by beating Abilene Christian and Northern Arizona before losing the Championship game in a heartbreaker to Cleveland St.

Over a beer or two in Las Vegas we were talking about how Keeley Frawley was such a fan favorite during her four years at UP before transferring to SCU for her graduate year.

Over those beers, it was concluded that Keeley played a huge role in the Pilots beating GU for the WCC Championship this season.

How?  Because if Keeley had been in the SCU lineup against UP instead of at her sister's wedding in Australia, it would have been much more difficult for UP to overcome the 16-point deficit they faced to beat SCU and play GU the next afternoon.  

Beer brings clarity to most sports stories...

WRONG!!

When that was written, Keeley thought her college career was over, but SCU was invited to the inaugural WBIT and tonight they hosted BYU out the Big-12.

A back-and-forth game all the way, Tess Heal hit a layup with 4 seconds left, and BYU missed the second of two free-throws as time expired and SCU won, 60-59.

What about Keeley?  After playing a solid 35 minutes and scoring 8 points on 50% shooting, she now has at least one more college game to play.

Injured?  Just speculating, but Keeley did not play in SCU's final game of the season as the Broncos get slashed by the Cougars from WSU, 73-47.

SCU finishes the season with 25 wins, the second most in program history, trailing only the 1990-91 team that went 28-3 and won the WNIT.
