CCIW

[DIIIdad]

Wesleyan wins in PK's.

[Mr. Ypsi]

To elaborate (slightly - I'm just going by the CCIW site), the game was 1-1 (unlike the 0-0 finish a couple of weeks ago).

Wheaton beat Millikin, 3-0.

IWU @ Wheaton for the AQ.  Hopefully all of the 'big 3' will make the national tourney.

[Mr. Ypsi]

It's nil-nil at the half in Wheaton.

By all stats (and my short time watching a 2"x3" screen ), the game really does appear to be as close as the score!

[Mr. Ypsi]

120 minutes, and still no score!

If I'm reading livestats correctly, I believe IWU won in the shootout, 3-1!

Both these teams (as well as Augie) obviously belong in the national tourney.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Good to see I haven't lost all my marbles - the conference site has confirmed that IWU wins the AQ with a 0-0, 3-1 shootout victory!

The Titan keeper is, well, a keeper!  18 saves during the game, and 3 of 4 Wheaton shootout attempts no good!  (No info on the shootouts - whether all were 'saves' or some were 'misses'.)

[Titan Q]

I watched the entire IWU/Wheaton game on WETN.  It was really a great game between two outstanding teams.  

Congratulations to coach Barrett and the Titans.  This alum was very proud of how hard you played today.

(And Alli Novak was just outstanding.)

The Titans play Washington & Jefferson @ 11:00am (ET) Saturday at Denison in Granville, Ohio.

The bracket...

Wheaton is hosting a 4-team pod that also includes Augustana.  The Thunder play Lawrence and the Vikings get Carleton.  (IWU is in a different quadrant than Wheaton/Augie.)

Good luck to the 3 CCIW teams in the field.

Looks to be a pretty favorable draw for the Thunder other than Augustana....If the Thunder can get through Augie it looks like the top half of that bracket can beat themselves out and the Thunder have an easier 3rd round game before another tough one in the Quarters.

Tough bracket draw for the Titans though as it looks like they'll have to go through UW-Stevens Point and Loras in order to get to San Antonio

I do like the sound of a Thunder-Titan rematch in San Antonio

[Mr. Ypsi]

That works for me!

[Jim Matson]

I think that the committee ended up ranking Wheaton higher than Illinois Wesleyan in the final regional ranking.  This must be a result of how they considered the shoot-out results.

[thunder38]

for all theoretical purposes the game goes into the book as a tie so that's how its reflected on both team's records which is most likely what kept Wheaton at the top of the field in the region

[Mr. Ypsi]

Wheaton easily dispatches Lawrence, 3-0 (shot differential was 21-2!).

Augie vs. Carleton should be nearing the end, but I have no news.

Tomorrow, IWU vs. Washington & Jefferson at 11 am (EST).

[Mr. Ypsi]

Dang - Carleton 2, Augie 1 in OT.

No other details yet.

[thunder38]

very dominant win by Wheaton...they seemed to play their best offensive game of the season and their second string dominated Lawrence in the second half...Lawrence was lucky to keep the score at only 3-0 as Bergh had a shot go off the post, Clark had a sure goal stopped by her own teammate, and they had two lasers off the crossbar in the first ten minutes.

the second game was very entertaining with Augie going up 1-0 in the 56th minute...Carleton scored in the final seven minutes to tie the game on a ball that Augie just couldn't clear.

the game was unfortunately decided on an own goal...officially it may be credited to a Carleton forward due to the official own goal wording but Carleton tried to cross and it went off a defender's leg right into the net.  a very entertaining game throughout that the Vikings should have won but unfortunately it was one of those nights.

based on what I saw tonight, it looks like Wheaton will be ending Carleton's season for a third straight year and it may see a similar score to what we saw in the first game. 

good luck to the Titans tomorrow night and looking forward to Wheaton taking the next step as well.

[Mr. Ypsi]

The Titans are off to a strong start, scoring in the 10th and 22nd minutes.

They lead 2-0 with about 10 minutes 'til the half.
