So what happened with Illinois Wesleyan? They have a good season, appear to be ready to make a run, and then lose 22-9 to a team they beat earlier in the season? First, congrats to Rhodes on a great game. I was thinking of a Denison/IWU Midwest region showdown, to see if IWU could take a step forwa...

Fitzlax who are you thinking the 3 or 4 teams competing for pool B this year are? Is Cabrini one of those teams? Because, remember, Cabrini is pool B this year and for next year as well. I've been searching for this year's pool B list (and asked on fanlax a couple of times). I didn't realize Cabrin...

Since in each of the last 3 years, there has been a Midwest Regional, it seem the committee would stick with that scheme for 2019. Which teams? Will they bring in a high seeded team from the South to go with 1 team each from the ODAC, MLC, and CCIW? There seems to be 3 or 4 teams in the running for ...

As the conference season begins, here are some mid-season updates/summaries on the CCIW, in order of pre-season picks. Overall, the top end of CCIW have had success against other midwest conference’s (MIAA, MLC) best teams. CCIW top 3 teams are 5-0 vs MIAA pre-season top 3 teams, 2-1 vs MLC top 3 te...

Cabrini is in Pool B and can lock up that bid with a win over Salisbury. The only competition to take it is Colorado College, if they win out, which is unlikely. D-III, where is the list of Pool B (and for bonus points, Pool A) teams? The NCAA 2019 site just lists the criteria for D1/DII/DIII, but ...

Dmac, Thanks for your research. I hope a pint or 2 was involved in the review. When I come across refs before or after my son's games, I'll ask them about this scenario. Dmac, I asked 2 refs yesterday before a game. They both agreed with our understanding of the rule. With a new 80sec clock and pos...

Where is the list of conferences that have AQ for 2019?

Dmac,
Thanks for your research. I hope a pint or 2 was involved in the review.

When I come across refs before or after my son's games, I'll ask them about this scenario.

Asked this question earlier but it's way back there and buried, so I'll ask it again. Penalty is called (one minute in the box variety), the O is given a new 80 seconds. In the first 20 seconds of possession (after a save or TO) players can go over and back. When the team gets a new 80 on the clock...

Good win for Elmhurst today against Ohio Northern (the pre-season co-favorite to win the OAC), on ONU's home turf. ONU had a 9-3 lead at half, and Elmhurst came out in the 2nd half and scored 9 nine straight goals. It was a very physical game (13 personal fouls), and it took awhile for Elmhurst to a...

Is it just me or it almost impossible to find lacrosse on the ESPN app? I have both Roku and AppleTV (1st Gen) devices. There is NO lacrosse sports category. The Albany / Syracuse game doesn't show up under the ACC Conf or the ACC Network. Of course lacrosse viewing ratings will be low if people ca...
