SLIAC Final:  Westminster-MO over Eureka in 3 sets:
                        (25-12, 25-14, 25-18)

BlueJays:  10 service aces Menke and Wanyonyi 10 and 8 spikes for points, respectively
                                           Wanyonyi also had 10 digs.

                                               Tonight I followed live stats, but when I took in  Westminster-MO's
                                                     video feeds of a couple of  their matches last spring, I was
                                                       impressed with Wanyonyi's play.  She's quick on her feet and
                                                        can pull off a lot of strong shots.

CCIW Conference Race Update:  Carthage, IL Wes, Elmhurst, Wheaton-IL and Millikin have clinched Tournament playoff spots. Augie, North Park and North Central-IL are still alive for the last one.

Schedule for teams still in contention:

North Park;  at Wheaton-IL
North Central-IL;  at Augie
Augustana-IL:  at North Central (Augie must win this to stay in contention.

Tie-breaker scenarios:  North Central:  Beat North Park, yet to play Augustana (so an Augie loss here would
                                                                    give North Central the last playoff sot.
                                  North Park:  Beat Augustana, Lost to North Central
                                  Augustana:  Lost to North Park, yet to play North Central

In the event of a 3-way tie, An Augie win over North Central would put both squads at 1-1. North Park also went 1-1. Further tie-breaker procedures would come into play.
