Waverly was seeded second with a record of 12-8. Centre was seeded third, with a record of 9-11 following its 46-27 victory at home Feb. 23 in the first-round game against Marais des Cynes.
The Lady Cougars ended the season with a record of 9-12, an improvement over the previous year’s record of 7-15. With most of the players returning next year, Coach Kelly Steiner expects more improvement in 2009-10.
