It's the final full weekend of Centennial action before final examinations but tests will be handed out early for the Conference unbeatens on Saturday.
Gettysburg at Ursinus (Men's Basketball)
It is a game that Gettysburg fans have had circled on their calendars for eight months. The ninth-ranked Bullets (1-0, 4-0) travel to their personal house of horror to take on the 21st ranked Bears (1-0, 3-1) in a rematch of the 2008 Centennial title game. Also, a rematch of the 2008 NCAA Division III "Sweet 16" contest. Both games ... as well as the two regular-season contests ... were won by Ursinus. In fact, Gettysburg lost five games last season - four to the Bears. UC has a 10-game winning streak against the Bullets since a 71-63 Gettysburg triumph in 2005 at Helfferich Hall. Keep an eye on the matchup of sharp-shooting guards in Gettysburg's Dan Capkin (16.5 ppg.) and Ursinus' Matt Hilton (18.0 ppg.)
Muhlenberg at Franklin & Marshall (Women's Basketball)
The 21st ranked Mules (3-0 CC, 5-0) and the Diplomats (2-0, 3-1) meet for the 35th time in their rivalry. The teams split the season set last year with F&M capturing a 75-60 decision at Mayser to give the Dips a 20-14 all-time advantage. Two of the Conference's top players will be on display in Muhlenberg's Lauren Boyle and F&M's Sarah Meisenberg. You can also see a rising star in 'Berg's Alexandra Chili, who set a school freshman record with six three-pointers last night against Swarthmore.
Muhlenberg at Franklin & Marshall (Men's Basketball)
The Mules (1-0, 3-1) and the Diplomats (1-0, 5-0) square off for the 124th time in their long rivalry with 'Berg looking to end a six-game skid at the Mayser Center. Muhlenberg's last win in Lancaster was a 76-58 triumph in the 2001 CC semifinals, while its last regular-season win was in 1999. F&M, who leads the all-time series, 64-59, is led by 6-6 sophomore James McNally who is averaging 18.0 points and 7.7 rebounds per outing. Muhlenberg will counter with 6-9 junior Peter Barnes who has posted 14.0 and 9.3 numbers.
