It Wasn't An Upset At All

When I congratulated Coach Gondak for his Womens Team performance at the Wisconsin Invite a few weeks ago, he related that there was better things to come from them.  And he was, of course, correct.  Both the Mens Team and the Womens Team continued to improve at yesterday's Big Ten Championships.  The Men placed 6th while the #16 Women put it all together and defeated the #2 Wolverines by 5 points.  Some called it an upset, but Coach Gondak (and I because of him!) knew better.
