What a difference a few years makes in the CCIW. Perennial stalwarts Wheaton & Illinois Wesleyan are 1-5-3 & 1-8-1, respectively, on the season.
I believe that prior to this season IWU was 27-0 all-time vs Millikin. Last evening Millikin beat them, 2-0. On the year IWU has only scored 5 goals while giving up 24. This is a reflection of the lack of recruiting effort from the coach that immediately followed Barrett after he went to Fairfield. It's going to take Bakirdan a few more years to restock the cabinets.
Wheaton and IWU play this weekend to stay out of the cellar. It looks like Auggie & North Central are the strongest sides this season.
