Morehead State captured the Chat-


tanooga (Tenn.) sectional men’s title to move on to Columbus along with Webber International, Lindenwood and Wright State. Calumet College advanced from the Peoria (Ill.) sec- tional, along with Robert Morris-Illi- nois, Toledo and Davenport. And the

year,” said Del Warren, part of Web- ber’s three-headed coaching staff (along with Joe Slowinski and Randy Stoughton). “We learned a lot last year, both from winning the women’s title and not winning the men’s title. We’ve paid a little more attention to detail this year. Still, there are so many great teams. It’s going to be re- ally competitive.” Midland won the Peoria Sectional,


with McKendree, Robert Morris-Illi- nois and Wisconsin-Whitewater also advancing. Central Florida topped the Allentown sectional, which also advanced Pikeville, Kutztown and Adelphi.
