Congratulations to Messiah on winning the championship. 
Also to Wheaton on a great season.

Perhaps, Coach Frey's best coaching job ever.  Certainly since I have been watching the Falcons.  Great games by everyone.  Go Falcons.

I just read where Messiah's senior class finished with a 96-1-4 record, with their only career loss being to H/S in last year's champioship game.  Wow!

I'm not a number cruncher, but does anyone know if there has ever been a class with a better record at any NCAA level...men or women?

I have to check a few things but I believe that the 4-year record is indeed a DIII record.

By comparison, Wheaton won 3 of 4 national championships in 2004-2007, as did Messiah in 2008-2011. But with as good as Wheaton was in that four years, they still had a handful of losses: 97-6-0. Wheaton plays a tougher schedule, but 96-1-4 is crazy good regardless of the schedule - and considering that Messiah was in the finals all four of those years.
