I guess I don't perceive a league such as the NACC as so vastly superior to the MWC in the way that WIAC is, or even the MIAC.  Being so close, somehow I would expect to see more MWC teams play Lakeland, CUW, and/or Wisconsin Lutheran.

SNC has a two-year deal with Benedictine. But haven't played Lakeland (which is an hour away) since 1962. Haven't played CUW since 1995.  Never played Wisconsin Lutheran, Aurora, Rockford, or Concordia-Chicago.

As for Lawrence, haven't played CUW since 91, Lakeland since 83, or Wisco since 2002. (and haven't played the Michigan Wolverines since 1915, or Minnesota Gophers since 1910!!!) They did play Rockford the last two years, however. (And they lost in SD, but beat Finlandia - which is at least just the next state up, and a school in their hockey conference).

Just seems the two would hook up more.

Of course, it looks like the NACC has its act together, having a deal with the MIAA. Maybe the MWC needs to find something like that.

SNC does have a game with Aurora coming up in 2018, and plays at UW-Eau Claire that year... so good to see another WIAC school set, and there's a NACC, too.

I was not aware of the IL Wesleyan deal for LU. That would have made sense. Very disappointing LU backed out.

And gbpuckfan, I agree wholeheartedly. MWC should be playing NACC, Upper Midwest, and whoever they can grab from MIAC, WIAC, CCIW. I would think Twin Cities and Chicago area would be prime away locations for Lawrence; large alumni and prospective student populations.

Including:
0-2 vs. WIAC
1-2 vs. MIAC
1-2 vs. IIAC

First off, to the rest of the MWC, you're welcome. ^^

Second, IWU should be ashamed of themselves for scheduling Larry in the first place.

Lake Forest moves to 3-0 with another big game (which will go unnoticed) by Valdivia.  235 yards on 15 carries with 3 Td's.

I believe LU had to back out for risk management reasons.  They play in a bowl (Banta Bowl) and the large number of IWU fans in wheelchairs could not be accommodated in the stadium despite the modifications made last year.  If they rolled them down to field level,  and someone loses control, the damage would be devastating.  Being a good host is big at LU.  :D

Lake Forest up 35-0 over Cornell with 1 minute left in the half.  Valdivia over 100 rushing with 2 TD's.

make that 35-6 at half.  Cornell scored on a hail Mary as the clock expires and misses the extra point.

Lake Forest up 55-13 4 left in the 3rd.  This offense looks VERY good.  Valdivia running strong, Quinn right adding more yards.  And the Sophomore QB with his receivers clicking on all cylinders........

Monmouth 28, Ripon 0

Macalester with a solid win over the Blueboys, 45-35.  Looked like offense was in sync and the Scots have their QB situation figured out.
