MIAA

Tie breaker for the automatic qualifier is head-to-head record, which of course is 2-0 in favor of Hope.

It looks like it will go down to the wire !

The next week + is going to be very exciting and a great thing for MIAA soccer.

With history playing a part in this, I have to think Hope is going to have a rough go of it the last three games especially since Mike May will most likely be back at almost 100% for the Comets for that end of the season matchup at Olivet....

One last day, one last MIAA game to play, and 3 teams have a chance at the championship and an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.  What more could we ask for?

Hope at Olivet game starts at noon, 2.5 hours earlier than the other two games, so Calvin and Adrian will know if they still have a chance to win the title by their kickoff time. I won't have livestats at the soccer game since I have to be at football, and my spare laptop does not have livestat capability. So, people will need to find another way to get the score.

Why is that, the early start?

Will your Comets be able to get their win in football tomorrow?

Do YOU think the Comets have a chance in football tomorrow?

O ye of little faith!

Good news for the Knights is that they essentially have an at large bid locked up, although another conference trophy would look nice on the mantle, right next to that final four trophy.

Locked up is an overstatement.  A loss today, and they will not be playing int the tournament IMHO.

I sure HOPE NOT, but the way our season has gone so far....

You wouldn't give the defending national champs an at-large bid if they were ranked 12?

The knights are ranked third in the region. If both teams ahead of them win their conference, the knights would probably be first in line for a pool C bid. Even if one or both loses, the Knights might have a shot.   

By the way, didn't Olivet figure large in Hope's collapse at the end of last season? It's interesting that they have the opportunity to play spoiler again this year. I'm very curious about how today's games will come out...

Sitting in the nice brisk Olivet air waiting for the game to start. Will try to post any score updates. FWIW I suspect Calvin will get into the tournament, it's not just a forgone conclusion especially with a game to play

1-0 Hope scores 10 minutes in
