IIAC 2013

Loras is hosting the winner of Lake Forest vs. Luther. They just aren't hosting a 4 team pairing.

Assuming Loras wins the 2nd round match up, likely they would host the sweet 16/elite 8 rounds Nov. 22-24.

I just noticed that Hatter, wonder why they wouldn't just have the first round a Loras as well?

If things go right it looks as if Loras and GAC could be meeting in the Sweet 16.

Unfortunately I can't make it up to St. Peter this weekend for GAC/CSS/Westmin/CarlE matches.

However, if GAC advances out of that group, I will absolutely be making the trip to Dubuque (assuming Loras hosts) for the Sweet 16 match ups...

The Wartburg Quad looks pretty decent. UWO has to be the favorite to come out of that group, but not by much. I could see anyone of those 4 teams getting thru to the Sweet 16.

Interesting that Wartburg is hosting. Definitely aids them as their preferred playing surface is obviously grass. I could see them getting through to the sweet 16 since Oshkosh is about as bad as Loras in terms of quality of play dropping on grass compared to turf.

Then again, Dominican and Hope are both teams that have quality records, albeit questionable strength of schedule.

[gustiefan04]

I think Dominican is the sleeper in this group. While they have had a down year by their typical standards, I think they are still a good side. Their match up with Wartbug should be a heck of a game.

Looks like Puget Sound and Cal Lutheran have the long distance road trip of the tourney, heading all the way to Trinity!

I would agree that Wartburg hosting aids them but Dominican is pretty good on grass as well and tend to step up a notch come NCAA tournament time and playing away.

Awesome Thanks

Toyota Park in San Antonio is one hell of a stadium to play in.  Please google if you havent seen it before.

Nothing against the Blossom Soccer Complex, but Toyota Park is an actual soccer stadium. Very excited for the student-athletes who will play there this year.

If the intent is for this to be open to anybody and everybody, maybe post this over in the 2013 Bracket Challenge thread.  If it's meant more just for Duhawk, IIAC and North Region friends and fans, then nevermind. 

What's the deadline to enter?
