Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt bowling finished second place at the Northeast Classic, falling to Nebraska in the championship match after beating hated rival McKendree in the morning. For the record, the Commodores have now competed in five events this season and have finished in second place in four of them (and finished third in the other.)

Women’s tennis beat Northwestern 5-2 in its first dual match of the season on Sunday.

Women’s basketball dropped to 0-7 in the SEC with yesterday’s 73-55 loss at Florida, the latter of which came in 1-5 in the league. And now, it’s another week off before Texas A&M comes to town next Sunday. Also, Shea Ralph hired active WNBA player Katie Lou Samuelson as the program’s director of player development.
