NCAA Division III women’s tournament is underway, with the Regional tournaments concluding today, Sunday, November 16, 2014. Of the 64 teams originally in the draw only eight are still left believing they can win this event. And, speaking of believing, our song of the day is “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey.
“Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Paying anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Don’t stop believing”
