10/20/07 NAthCon Women's Soccer Finals:

Benedictine 4, Marian 3
Concordia-WI 1, WLC 0
Concordia-Chicago 1, Maranatha 0
Edgewood 9, Alverno 0
Dominican 2, MSOE 1

With these results, Dominican moves up to 3rd place, and there's a real logjam after that among Benedictine, MSOE, Concordia-WI and Lakeland for the remaining spots.

Concordia-Chicago, Maranatha and Marian have been eliminated from NAthCon post-season tournament contention. (Marian could still tie Concordia-WI, but the Falcons would advance by virtue of having beaten the Sabers 6-2 head-to-head).

Barring upsets, injuries and other unforeseen developments, does anyone think the NAthCon gets more than one women's team in the NCAA D3 tournament?

no

[Jim Matson]

Maybe Concordia and Aurora - depending on the outcome of the Tourney of course.  Also, watch for the NCAA Regional Rankings that will be released on 10/31/07. 

[Northern_Explorer]

Central Region Rankings: (10/24)

1.  Wheaton (Illinois)  14-0-0  17-0-0
2.  Washington U. in St. Louis  8-1-0  12-1-0 
3.  Wisconsin-Eau Claire  14-1-2  14-1-2
4.  Wisconsin-Stevens Point  12-3-1  12-3-1
5.  Concordia-Moorhead  11-2-1  12-2-1
6.  St. Benedict  13-3-0  13-3-0
7.  Carthage  9-1-0  14-2-0
8.  Aurora  15-1-0  15-2-1
9.  Chicago  7-4-3  8-4-3
10.  Carleton  11-4-0  11-4-0
11.  Carroll (Wisconsin)  12-2-1  12-2-1

Nationwide there are 18 spots for teams that don't win their conference tournament.  Unless someone upsets Aurora in the tournament, there definitely not be two NathConf teams in the NCAA's.  Also, if Aurora loses in the tournament, that could knock them out of the rankings all together, leaving only on team anyway.  Neither Edgewood nor CUW have in region results that will allow them to advance as "pool C" teams.

NAthCon First-Round Women's Soccer Results:

Dominican 2, MSOE 0.

Concordia-WI 1, Benedictine 0.

Semi-Final Matchups:

Aurora/CUW
Edgewood/Dominican

[libero]

Big upset tonight:

#3 seed Dominican over #2 seed Edgewood

I think Edgewood's tournament hopes just went up in smoke. They have been having trouble scoring lately. Their last three games:

W v MBBC 1-0
L v Aurora  0-1
L v Dom    1-2

Only two goals in three games. Not a typical Edgewood run.
