Great analysis.  I am reading it largely the same. 

I throw it out there that...
St. Norbert sweeps Lakeland.
CUC grabs both.
BenU also grabs both.
AU and IIT split.
CUW and Marian split.
MSOE and Edgewood split.

Today's Matchups

St. Norbert at Lakeland (DH): Battle of two teams most likely making up the bottom of the league this year. Was thinking this was Lakeland's for the taking but they have been struggling lately losing seven straight. St. Norbert also has a seven game skid but has shown to be a bit more competitive in their losses. Won't be shocked if SNC sweeps this.

Rockford at Concordia Chicago (DH): CUC is red hot at the moment. Regents got a much needed sweep over Lakeland Saturday to keep within shouting distance of the midpack. However this might be a bit too much for the Regents here against a CUC team showing flashes of their old form from years past.

Benedictine at Wisconsin Lutheran (DH): Eagles are mashing the ball very well as of late and look primed to continue their hot play as of late. WLC might be over their heads here but stranger things have happened during league play so far.

Aurora at Illinois Tech (DH): Spartans find themselves out of the league lead after getting swept at CUW Saturday. Tech got a split at WLC Saturday but still hasn't separated themselves from the logjam in the middle of the league. I want to say AU is favored but they haven't played up to their expectations at times.

Concordia Wisconsin at Marian (DH): CUW got a shocking sweep over then league leader Aurora Saturday in Mequon while Marian got swept by CUC. Still this will be a close DH and I could see it going either way.

MSOE at Edgewood (DH): Alright MSOE can you hold onto the NACC lead? Raiders are hot winning eight straight heading into this one. Eagles need a split here because Benedictine awaits after this one and can't afford to have a cold streak as league play winds down.

Most likely a two-point specialist.

A lot of transition in the Empire 8 going into the 2025 season. Is the gap closing in on the Red Dragons? Are the Golden Eagles on pace to sit atop the perch? Which other schools will be in the hunt and who will be the biggest dark horse next season? All the changes will lead to some excitement and new expectations for those members. Can't wait!
