NABC Division II Poll: Bowie State climbs to #11; Va Union enters at #25

December 7, 2010

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Wins over two teams in last week’s Top 25 has vaulted Bellarmine to the No. 1 spot in the NABC/Division II men’s basketball rankings for the first time in school history, after previously top-ranked Cal Poly Pomona suffered a pair of losses over the weekend.

The Knights, who went on the road to defeat No. 11 Kentucky Wesleyan and No. 22 Southern Indiana last week, earned five of the eight first place votes to land the top spot ahead of Findlay, whom they were tied with at No. 2 last week. The Oilers opened their Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference schedule on a winning note last week as well.

As a result of Cal Poly Pomona’s losses and setbacks by three other teams in the top 10 last week, the top half of the rankings saw a significant shuffle. Winona State moved up a spot to No. 3, while West Liberty and Montevallo enter the top five for the first time as they also remained undefeated into December. Fort Hays State, which has won its first eight games by an average of more than 24 points a game, comes in at No. 6 and is followed by Indiana (Pa.), South Carolina Aiken, Alabama-Huntsville and Augusta State.

The second ten begins with Bowie State, who pulled out an overtime win over Mansfield last week to remain perfect at 5-0. Central Washington made a 12-spot jump to No. 12 after winning three times a week ago, then Tarleton State, Grand Valley State and Central Oklahoma took the next three positions. Cal Poly Pomona landed at No. 16 in the rankings after the two setbacks, with Hillsdale, Kentucky Wesleyan, Cal State-Dominiguez Hills – who handed the Broncos the first of the two losses – and Southern Indiana checking in behind Cal Poly Ponoma,

Minnesota State is the highest ranked team this week that is making its debut in the 2010-11 rankings at No. 21, while the last four spots are occupied by Merrimack, Northern Kentucky, Lincoln Memorial and Virginia Union. NKU, who was ranked 20th prior to its loss to Southern Indiana last week, is the only team among the last five that has been ranked in a regular season poll this season.

A Showdown in the Dome Sets the Stage for Clark Atlanta’s 2011 Football Season

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on

Atlanta, GA-The Clark Atlanta University Panthers will open their 2011 football schedule with a Georgia Dome match-up against the neighboring Panthers of Georgia State University, Thursday, Sept. 1st, highlighting a game that brings together an Atlanta-based Division I program and one of the nation’s leading Division II Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

“This partnership is a win-win for both universities and good for the city of Atlanta,” Clark Atlanta Athletic Director Dr. Tamica Smith Jones affirmed. “Panthers will pack the house and Panthers will have a victory.”

This match-up sets the stage for others to see the quality of Clark Atlanta’s football program and its university that is nestled in the heart of metro Atlanta and headlines a three home game stretch slated to open its football season.

“It is an exciting opportunity for our football program and our community,” added CAU Head Coach Darryl McNeil.

Dr. Jones released the Panthers 10-game schedule this week featuring a new Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play structure, five home games, two non-conference contests and a second appearance in the St. Louis Gateway Football Classic (9/24) against the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

In his second year at the helm of the football program, McNeil noted that, “This is a great schedule for all Panther fans and supporters. Last year we traveled the whole month of September so it will be good to play at home for most of the season.”

The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) introduced a new East/West Divisional format beginning in the 2011 season that tabs CAU in the Eastern Division along with Albany State University, Benedict College, Fort Valley State University and AUC rival Morehouse College.

Fort Valley, at home, Sept. 17th, begins divisional play for the Panthers followed by Morehouse on the road Oct. 1st. The Panthers dropped both games for losses in the 2010 campaign. CAU Homecoming will be October 8th, against Miles College before traveling to Benedict College Oct. 15th.

Thereafter, the Panthers will compete in a home-away format for the rest of the season concluding with Albany State (10-22) and two non-divisional competitions against Tuskegee (10-29) and Stillman (11-5). The East/West division winners will vie for the conference championship November 12th.

This year’s schedule, according to Dr. Jones, “provides balance in competition, gives our fans more opportunities to support the Panthers at home, and enhances our student-athletes’ experience by playing in two dome games.”

Although the Panthers finished last season 4-6, their nationally ranked defense landed in four NCAA Division II statistical categories including the top spot in pass defense, No. 2 in tackles for losses, No. 11 in total defense and No. 26 in total sacks.

“Our motivation is to win the East Division in the 2011 season,” added McNeil.

Spelman student killed on Clark-Atlanta Campus

Posted by HBCU Editors
Posted on

A Spelman College student was shot and killed early Thursday on the campus of nearby Clark-Atlanta University.
The shooting happened about 12:30 a.m. in the 200 block of James P. Brawley Drive, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office.
The victim, Jasmine Lynn, of Kansas City, Mo., was “walking southbound on James P. Brawley when she was struck in the chest by a stray round from a group of individuals involved in a physical altercation on Mitchell Street,” Atlanta police Lt. Keith Meadows said.
An 18-year-old student from Clark-Atlanta was also wounded when he was struck in the wrist by a stray bullet, Meadows said.
That student’s name has not been released.
“At this point, we have not been able to determine the nature of the altercation on Mitchell Street. However, we are questioning a number of witnesses,” Meadows said. “We have not been able to determine whether any of the individuals involved in the physical altercation were actually students from Clark-Atlanta or any of the surrounding colleges.”
Meadows said that detectives “don’t have a clear description on the shooter himself. We are working with university officials in an effort to develop security footage.” Meadows said security cameras “probably captured the incident.”
Danays Marquez, a Morris Brown College freshman from Miami, said she heard “at least five [gunshots], back to back.”
