Next question:   Last I heard, in terms of ranked and in-tournament contention teams, Benedictine split with ranked U of Chicago and beat NEWMAC Tourney finalist MIT.  Dominican actually had a better record against Top 25 teams and was regionally ranked, whereas, Benedictine wasn't-- what kind of draw will the IL Eagles get?  :-X :-\

Turns out Dominican still gets in.  And Benedictine gets U of Chicago for a third time. First time in the history of the NAthCon that 2 of the conference's VB teams make the NCAAs.

With MSOE hiring a new women's volleyball coach today, that makes 2/3 of the Milwaukee NACC schools. (Alverno landed  a new coach a month or 2 back).

The big 3 (Benedictine, Edgewood and Dominican) have proved hard to surpass the last couple of years.

NACC schedule vs. ARV teams 8/30-9/10/13:

8/30:   Edgewood vs. ARV New Paltz;

9/6:   Lakeland vs. Top 25 Colorado College. CUW vs. UW=Whitewater.

Other observations: 

1)  Edgewood, Dominican and Benedictine start off with matches against other ranked teams as well. (noted on Top 25 board)

2)  I know its' early, but it'll be interesting to find out who lands the playoff spot that Maranatha was getting on a yearly basis before the Crusaders' exit from the conference.

3)  WLC's had a penchant for getting off to slow starts in-conference the last couple of seasons--is this the year that pattern changes??

4)  A handful of NACC teams landed new coaches--which one will have the best showing in the end?
