Titans 'hope' to repeat in 2010

September 1, 2010

As the Titans take the field in the season opener at Hope College Saturday, coach Norm Eash can probably rest assured his team won't be complacent, coming off of their second CCIW title in three years. They no doubt know how hard it was to win last season and the first challene of this season has already presented itself. Senior first-team All-CCIW defensive end Ryan Jenkins is out for the season with a broken leg. The Titans might go to a 3-man front more often, and it will also present an opportunity for others to step up. 

There are a few other injuries coming into Saturday's game. Starting center Trace Hummel has mono and won't play. Free safety Scott Wenzel has a foot injury and is questionable, as is corner Michael Panno. who has a back injury. 

The good news is quarterback Brien Rooney will start despite going through two recent hamstring pulls. That might make him a little more cautious to scramble with the ball - what he does best. Linebacker Dan Rogers will also play with a shoulder injury and Donald Driver is back after missing some time as he recovers from double knee-surgey last year.

The Titans are the preseason number 4 in the CCIW according to the league's coaches, which is a spot that suits coach Eash just fine.  We will have the webcast Saturday at 12:15.

 IWU Men's Basketball News and Notes from Eric Stock

Great season could be a prelude to 2011

March 15, 2010

While it's disappointing to say goodbye to the season, it's exciting to think about what the Titans have to look forward to next season. Sean Dwyer had a big impact on the team as a captain, leader and perimeter defender, but it's exciting to see what the Titand have to look forward to next season with everyone else back, and who knows who else might be added to the roster. The Titans made great strides from last year to this, in particular Sean Johnson, who took his game to another level this season.  He became a more complete player.  Ryan Connolly also showed great improvement and will continue to create matchup problems for teams.  Travis Rosenkranz became a steady and reliable point guard, while Jordan Zimmer was dangerous from the outside and Doug Sexauer added another move to his arsenal, making him one of the dominant post players in the region. 

Look for the Titans to get a lot of attention heading into next season. They won't be able to sneak up on anyone next season. But it will be fun to watch.

Titans Titans reach Elite 8

March 12, 2010

It would be wrong for me to say I never expected The Titans' to go on a late-season run all the way to the NCAA sectional championship and potentiall beyond. But I didn't expect it this year.  This mostly junior and sophomore-laden team is playing well beyond its years late in the season, beating teams they had problems with early in the season.  First, Wash U and then Carthage.  Not that they were overmatched by either of these teams in the past, but now they are getting it done.

Doug Sexauer held his ground and took command, outfaking the Carthage defenders for most the night on his way to 26 points, Sean Johnson mathcing his 26 and pulling down 12 rebounds (like 3 times his career record - his words, not mine) and a number of clutch baskets from Travis Rosenkranz, Sean Dwyer, Ryan Connolly and Matt Schick.

It should be a great atmosphere at UW-Stevens Point for the sectional title.  Capacity at Quandt Fieldhouse is about 2,600 and their game with UT-Dallas was sold out, so tickets could be tough to come by.  If you decide not to make the trip, you can naturally catch the game on WJBC.(AM-1230).

It was disheartening to hear the IWU women's season end at the hands of the Pointers at Shirk Center, especially when the Titans had the entire postseason lined up at home. But it was still another stellar season for Mia Smith's team at 28-2 and much of this year's team will be back next season, with the exception of All-American Christina Solari.  The Titans wll be a force again in 2011.
