CONWAY — The Monks of St. Joseph's of Standish, Maine (28-2), fashioned a 27-game winning streak to begin their march to the NCAA women's Division III tournament with two former Fryeburg Academy Raiders — junior guard Julia Quinn and junior forward Lexi L'Heureux-Carland — playing important roles. Meanwhile, sophomore guard Mackenzie Buzzell led the Colby-Sawyer Chargers to a 14-12 record in the Great North Atlantic Conference.
For the Monks, the GNAC champion's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament was lost in heartbreaking fashion in the conference tournament final, when second seeded Emmanuel College pulled off a 65-64 upset to take the title on Feb. 23 in Standish. Fortunately, the tournament committee recognized the tremendous achievement of the Monks and awarded an at-large bid which sent 14th ranked nationally St. Joseph's to Ithaca, N.Y. to open its March Madness.
