MIAA

You may be right about Alma being 4/5 this year.  Olivet has moved into the NSCAA coaches top 25 poll at #20.  Looking forward to the Comets playing at Hope on Saturday!!

Wouldn't it be great to see a really competitive MIAA. I thought it would be close to that 5 years ago but it just didn't materialize. Nice to see Alma doing well and I think Olivet has brought a tough game to the table for several years. Keep it up.

I completely agree.  IMHO part of the reason both Hope and Calvin went so far last year in the tournament was the competition they faced in their league games.

How many of the MIAA schools have made NCAA playoff appearances?

[Dutch Touch]

Based off of the automatic bid going to the regular season champion until last year, I count 4 from past champions.

Hope
Kalamazoo
Calvin
Alma

If anyone knows of any of the other teams making the tournament as well I will take corrections.

Saturday picks. Trine 2, Adrian 0 /Calvin 3, Albion 0 / Alama 1, Kalamazoo 1  and the biggie,
Hope 3, Olivet 2, although this should probably be a pick Em!

[sflzman]

You had the right score, wrong result for the Trine/Adrian game.  Calvin was straight up ugly 7-1.  Kalamazoo/Alma, I just don't know what happened.  Alma scored 27 seconds in to make it 1-0, then they just like, layed an egg.

You had Olivet's total right, but were wrong on Hope.

Good job Olivet. Back to the drawing board for Alma. What can you can you say about Albion that would sound positive. I got it! Currently they have given up fewer goals than the girls side.  Will the real Calvin please stand up. Let's have some fun with it. Make picks- keep tabs on yourself. Can start this week. Have a brag off at the end. Kalamazoo on top! That's pretty good.

[neddy]

Well, it looks like the enthusiasm factor if off the charts. Oh well- Trine 3, Albion 1, Olivet 4, Kazoo 2, Hope 3, Calvin 2,  and Alma 1, Adrian 0. This where we find out if Alma has started the long trek back, in the right direction.
