Chaffey product playing in D2 Elite Eight

There may not be any local team representation at the Division II Elite Eight, but the Inland Empire is being represented on the women's team from Alaska-Anchorage.

Former Eisenhower High School and Chaffey College standout Lillie Parks plays for the Seawolves who are competing in the women's Elite Eight at University of Nebraska-Kearney. The Seawolves (30-4) won their quarterfinal Wednesday, beating Franklin-Pierce in overtime 71-65.

Parks only played five minutes but went 0-for-1 from the field. She had one steal but had three fouls which limited her playing time off the bench.

Next up for the Seawolves is a semifinal against Northern Kentucky (26-8) today. Parks was a valuable reserve all season. Hopefully the nerves will be gone and she will have a better showing in the next game.
