WVB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[WLCALUM83]

10/9 Finals:

WLC over Alverno in 3:

Edgewood over Aurora in 3
           (25-20, 25-18, 25-23)

Benedictine over Maranatha in 3
           (25-19, 25-22, 25-19)

Marian upset Dominican in 3
          (25-20, 25-19, 25-17)
                 Sabers Navis-- 21 assists, 11 digs per Marian release)


   Warriors' last 2 in-conference regular season matches --both at home, CUW and Dominican, this poster hopes WLC doesn't need to beat both of those squads just to get into the conference playoffs. One or 2 more CUW losses and Edgewood will have a clear run to the reg season title if the WI Eagle squad stays as hot as it is.

Playoff scenarios.

Marian is in. The Sabers would own the tiebreaker over either Maranatha or Rockford, having beaten both of those squads.

Rockford/Maranatha winner on Tuesday owns the tie-breaker between them.

Shouild MSOE and Lakeland both win, there would be a 3-way tie (with the Maranatha/Rockford loser) for the last spot.
