Loggers Are Chicago-bound for Sectional Round

INDIANAPOLIS - The seventh-ranked Puget Sound Loggers will be heading to the Chicago area this weekend as the NCAA has announced that Wheaton College will play host to one of four sectional rounds beginning on Friday, Mar. 13.

The Loggers, who play undefeated St. Thomas (Minn.) on Friday at 6:00 p.m. CDT, will be returning to the sectional round of the national tournament for the first time since advancing to the sectional final in 2006 against Illinois Wesleyan in Appleton, Wis. Joining the Tommies and Loggers in Wheaton, Ill. will be the host Thunder and the Washington (Mo.) Bears.

The other three sectional sites are John Carroll, Richard Stockton and Franklin & Marshall. The winner of the Wheaton sectional will face the winner of the John Carroll sectional in one of two national semi-final games on Mar. 20 in Salem, Va.

Basketball wasn't the only reason that Kaleb choose Puget Sound, as the accomplished pianist was familiar with the music program as well. "Puget Sound has a great basketball program, an outstanding music department and an esteemed athletic reputation."
