For the first time since 2008 and only the fourth time in the last 28 years, Santa Clara did not make the NCAA Division I Women’s Tournament, and longtime coach JerrySmith is not happy with the NCAA selection committee. His beef: WCC rival San Diego was selected ahead of the Broncos but the “preponderance of evidence” favors SCU: 3-1 win at USD, better RPIranking (No. 49 vs. No. 55) and more wins (14 vs. 10). “It’s a head scratcher, for sure,” said Smith. “Our seniors can’t get that back.”
