DANVILLE, Ill. — Still feeling the sting from seeing their national title hopes dashed less than 24 hours earlier, Allen Community College head coach Andy Shaw hoped the Red Devils would respond favorably.

Because the NJCAA-Division II National Tournament is a double-elimination affair, teams such as Allen that dropped their opener still have something to play for.

That led to Wednesday’s consolation round matchup with Florida Gateway.

“Since it was the consolation bracket, I didn’t know what our mentality would be,” Shaw said.
