A guy on the backpost wouldn't have been able to get that ball. way to difficult of an angle to head that ball out. a guy on the back post would have had to stop it with his hands to keep it out. just my opionion though.

North Park down 2-0 at the half in Iowa.

Where are all the NP bloggers??? I am very intrigued to here what is going on behind the scenes since they have dropped their last 2 games. I know Carthage and North Central are having good years, but I would have expected more from a team that is on the verge of making deep run in the tourney.

Some insight would be helpful for those of us who have been keeping up all year. Thx

Quick question... Why does the "superior" team always just not play well when they lose? How about the other team just playing that well and deserving to win. How about the gameplan they put together, or their execution on that night. I am sure Carthage was the "superior" team the night they beat NP. Who knows...maybe if NP played to their potential Carthage would have raised their game even more and still won.

Give credit where credit is deserved and leave it at that. Carthage won and NP lost. NP will just need to raise the bar in the tourney as will every other team, to and see if they can win it.

What is going on with Wheaton this year? I know they have played a bit of a rough schedule, but play a little defense boys.

I haven't kept up like in years past, but the usual Wheaton supporters are pretty quiet these days... I would love to hear what's going on over in the Thunder's camp?

Results for Saturday:


Edgewood 2 - 0 Benedictine

Aurora 5 - 0 Concordia Wisconsin

MSOE 4 - 3 Wisconsin Lutheran

Dominican 6 - 0 Marian

Maranantha 13 - 0 Rockford

Lakeland 2 - 0 Concordia Chicago

Some surprising results this year with some teams that are very up and some teams that are down quite a bit.

Anyone have any feedback after seeing some any teams in the conference this week play out their first game or two?
