FB: Midwest Conference

SNC leads 14-0 at the half, holds on for 21-14 win against Carroll

Ripon beat Macalester, 23-0. SNC plays RC next week

Monmouth beat IC 35-7

LFC leads Knox 27-3 in the third

Monmouth and St. Norbert rolling through their seasons and the message board goes quiet. Tough game for SN this week at Ripon but Monmouth should have the south sewn up already. Not sure there's many challengers there in the south after IC lost.

Definitely looks like a Monmouth-SNC championship tilt.

On other fronts hockey starts the 19th and basketball starts the 15th (I think they can practice on the 15th).

I agree.  They should just cancel the rest of the season and play the championship now.

Lake Forest will present a challenge this weekend as Monmouth looks to avoid a letdown after a big homecoming win against IC.  The road game at Cornell the following weekend won't be a cakewalk either.

But if dad thinks this is the route that the MWC should go, then who am I to argue?  I guess we can agree this one time.

Mav,

Just like you Monmouth guys trying to take the easy way.  Tip toeing out of bounds, skipping right to the playoffs...Geez, haven't you ever heard that anything not worked for is usually hardly worth achieving?

More schools need to join LU, LFC and SNC with hockey...

just me wishing...

SNC gets a 54 yard TD on the first play. Totally fooled the camera guy. Nice to get a lead :16 in.

And SNC intercepts the first RC play!

[gbpuckfan]

SNC converted off that turnover. Made a stop on defense and marched down the field again. Becker pitches to Boockmeier who threw it back at the QB for the TD. Pat good. 21-0 at the end of the first quarter.

[gbpuckfan]

RC put together a nice TD drive. Late in the half, RC just trying to run out the clock but fumbled it away on own 16. RC defense forces FG, which is good. 24-7 at the half.

[gbpuckfan]

Early 4th. Boockmeier TD. 41-7 SNC.

Final

Monmouth 38, Lake Forest 7

No tip toeing around this one.
