Great defensive battle for the championship. Congrats to the Fighting Scots on finding a way to pull it out! Good luck in the playoffs!

Quick shoutout to Beloit for getting in the W column today. I hope The Roop is smiling from above.

Carroll lost 71-0 today.... how's that working out for you?

They're probably dominating the conference in every other sport.

Reminds me of the joke about the boy who brought home his report card which had four Fs and a D.  The dad looked over the report card and told his son that he was spending too much time on one subject.

Monmouth at Trine in the First Round!  First ever meeting between the Scots and the Thunder!

So with a little inside knowledge/info from the NACC, Trine looks like a good option for Monmouth to open up against.  Definitely not the usual powerhouse the MWC gets stuck with every other year.....

A glance at the Top 25 poll should be a good indicator as well.

RE: All sport standings.

Interesting that Monmouth got 12 points and SNC got 11. They just skipped over the missing slots, and did not adjust the place rankings

Makes sense on one hand, there are 12 teams. On the other, seems odd that one sport is worth more than others. Though the sports with less than 10 teams still get 10 for first place. Maybe the women's golf winner should get just 5 points then?

Not sure there's an easy answer, but it's a bit confusing, at least to me,

A quiet confidence must be wafting through both the MWC and MIAA fan bases.... #noaction?  #thisistheplayoffspeople!

Further proof that Pat is probably THE smartest mind in D3Football....

At the half, Trine leads Monmouth 28-24.  Big plays all over the place from both sides!

Final Score

Trine 63, Monmouth 24

Disappointing second half effort.  I will hold off from posting anything more about this one right now.

Congrats to the Scots on another good season.  Congrats to Trine on the win and good luck the rest of the way.
