Interesting tidbit about tonight's game. UP's head coach is Mike Meek and he's a very successful coach. Before he got the Pilots job, he led small D3 school George Fox to the national championship. https://portlandpilots.com/news/2019/3/2...coach.aspx. In his first year, the UP women won the WCC tournament title, which was quite a shock because they were very under-talented. The guy knows what he's doing.

And get this...his daughter is McKelle Meek and she is on the UP team (but she hasn't appeared in this year's box scores so it looks like she's hurt). She grew up in the same grade playing with Cameron Brink. They played together at Southridge High before Cam transferred. Coach Meek coached both of them in AAU. I read somewhere where Brink gave him high praise for being a great coach.
