Women’s bracket now official too

With Elmira College’s 58-49 win against the Rochester Institute of Technology earlier today, St. John Fisher College wrapped up the fourth and final seed in the Empire 8 tournament. The Cardinals will face top-seeded Stevens Institute of Technology, while No. 2 Ithaca College plays No. 3 Utica College.

If I were a betting man, I’d say the championship game would come down to Stevens and Ithaca, which would be a rematch of Friday’s 68-57 Ithaca win. But that win didn’t come without cost for the Bombers as they lost senior center Erika Steele and junior guard Megan Rumschik to season-ending injuries. Along with the earlier loss of senior guard Kali Carnovale, Ithaca is losing depth quickly.

Still, I see both the men’s and women’s brackets coming down to Ithaca-Stevens in the final game. I’ll be putting together more in-depth previews of all four playoff match ups this week, so check back Friday for the final capsules.
