Maroons march on: Chicago-Calvin LIVE at 5:45 p.m. CT

No matter how much yesterday’s NCAA tournament opener marked a new start and an all-new test for the Maroons, it was the same old Chicago women’s basketball team dominating with size, athleticism, defense and shooting.

Official recap is at the official athletics site. Meghan Herrick scored 19 of her 25 points in the first half and was the dominant two-way force she often is, including keeping Hanover to a one-gun offense. Morgan Herrick and Taylor Simpson added reliable work in the post.

Yesterday’s game was one of runs, though Chicago’s came first and their answers were always larger than Hanover’s. And both Calvin and Chicago were able to run out to big leads and rest their starters in the second half yesterday.
