The official temperature was 45 degrees for JMU's first round Colonial Athletic Association tournament game against George Mason. It felt like it was cold enough for snow.
James Madison battled GMU for a 2-1 victory, and advanced to the semifinal round in Virginia Beach, Va. I stood on the sideline for the entire game, because the metal benches were absolutely freezing.
Coach Lombardo notched his 300th win thanks to goals by senior forward Annie Lowry and junior forward Megan Deaver. When asked to evaluate the team's performance, Lowry said "We're finally getting back on the ball, playing the offense we can," but also gave GMU senior goalkeeper Kasey Davenport credit for her seven saves.
Madison plays Hofstra on Friday in the CAA semifinals, and if it wins JMU would play the winner of VCU/ODU on Sunday. How would you evaluate their chances to win the conference tournament?
