Benedictine over CUW in 3

WLCALUM83

Benedictine had a golden opportunity to make a statement vs. ranked U of Chicago last night. The match came within a whisker of going to 5, but the Maroons prevailed in 4. Rats!!!  >:( >:(

WLCALUM83

Joining Benedictine/Edgewood in progress (midway thru Set  2  WI Eagles took first set--)

WLCALUM83

Benedictine/Edgewood going to a 5th set!

                  Edgewood --  Palmer  14 kills, 15 digs
                  Benedictine -- Kmeciak 17 digs

           Dominican, Maranatha and Marian also won tonight.

           5 teams are 1 1/2 games apart at the top of the table now.

10/10/12 NAthCon finals:

Benedictine over CUC  (25-23, 18-25, 25-20, 26-24)
      Benedictine --  Adams 18 kills

         (Eagles' Palmer -- 15 kills, 17 digs)

WLC over Rockford in 3

MSOE over Aurora in 3

Dominican over CUW in 3

(Both Eagle squads and Dominican have more breathing room at the top now).

WLCALUM83

10/16 results:

WLC over CUC
Maranatha over MSOE
Edgewood over CUW
Aurora over Alverno

   (all by 3-0 finals)

Lakeland over Marian in 4


Playoff scenarios:

Edgewood, Benedictine and Dominican are in:

Maranatha and WLC can get in with one win each or an MSOE loss.
CUC, Rockford and Alverno have been eliminated.

WLCALUM83

#144
10/19 NAthCon finals:

Rockford over Marian (mild upset here)
Dominican over Aurora
CUW over CUC
Maranatha over WLC
Lakeland over MSOE

(First 4 were 3-0, Muskies needed 4 sets to knock off MSOE).


With those results, Edgewood clinches the reg season title and top seed for the conference tournament. Maranatha, Lakeland and WLC clinched tournament berths.  Whoever wins the Dominican/Benedictine match tomorrow clinches the second seed.  Lakeland can overtake Maranatha for the third seed if the Muskies beat Rockford and Maranatha loses to Alverno (Lakeland beat Maranatha earlier).

A Benedictine win over WLC coupled with an Aurora win , a Lakeland loss to Rockford and Marian going 1-1 in its' last 2 matches would bring about a 4-way tie in positions 5-8. Highest WLC can finish is 5th with a win over IL Eagles , a Lakeland loss. and losses by both Marian and Aurora in their last in-conference matches.

4 squads are jockeying for the last 2 spots.

Marian:   @ MSOE, vs. Maranatha
Aurora:    vs. CUW
MSOE:     vs. Marian, vs. CUW
CUW:      @ Aurora, @ MSOE





WLCALUM83

10/20 update:

Marian over MSOE in 3
Lakeland over Rockford in 3
Maranatha over Alverno in 4
CUW over Aurora in 4
Benedictine over Dominican in 4

Scenarios:

Marian can clinch the 6th seed witn a win over Maranatha on Tuesday.

A lot riding on Benedictine/WLC on Wed.  A Warrior win coupled with a Marian loss gives WLC the 5 seed (Warriors defeated Lakeland earlier). Wins by the Sabers and the IL Eagles and WLC falls to the 7th seed.

A win by CUW over MSOE and the Falcons sneak in over Aurora (they beat the Spartans head to head earlier.)


WLCALUM83

NAthCon final just in:

Maranatha over Marian 
       (14-25, 25-18, 23-25, 25-19, 15-9)

   Maranatha:   DeLozier  28 kills  17 digs

WLC still has a shot at the 5th seed.

WLCALUM83

Benedictine/WLC going to 5!

Mild upset brewing?  Stay tuned!
