Did happen last night on the NACC women's side last night. #6 Alverno beat #3 Benedictine. They go to #2 Lakeland for a semifinal.

Concordia nearly upset Benedictine in more than one way. I didn't see Benedictine getting a Pool C spot had they lost. Despite last year's success, it seems there are more than a few people that are questioning Benedictine's credentials this year. I hope they can get into the 2nd weekend, though the Midwest has some tough opponents they'll be facing, most likely on the road.

Had Benedictine lost it would have gotten REALLY interesting for UWO. If the regional committee would have decided to keep Benedictine in front of Oshkosh despite the loss, then Oshkosh might never even get to the table and this whole debate about a 10-loss team never happens.

Skip Noon steps down as head coach at WLC. He'll still be the AD there going forward.

Aaron Aanonsen, the Lakeland HC has been hired to the same position at WLC.

I was surprised to read that Aaron had been at Lakeland that long. Good for him and good luck.

The Muskies have filled their head coaching vacancy from within, promoting Sam Schroeder to the post. The 2011 Lakeland graduate had been an assistant coach for the past 6 years and a player before that.

And I thought Sam was a soccer player.

He is, and he's currently the head women's soccer coach at Ripon. But this one is not that one. (Or might be a clone - can someone check on that? ;D)

IIT is a good addition to the NACC. The only problem is that the Scarlet Hawks don't field a football team, so the NACC is going to be one team shy of the seven-team minimum required for an automatic NCAA playoffs bid once Benedictine moves to D2 in a couple of years.

So ITT has a couple of years to form a football team!

I suspect an affiliate member in football is in their future.

We've been hearing about BU's move to D2 for a couple years, and now comes a forecast of their moving in a couple (more) years. I'm beginning to think that chances the move may not happen are increasing. However, should the Bennies depart, the conference will stand at a nice even 12 members for basketball, barring any additional additions or subtractions. Might we then see a 2 division split, possibly with northern and southern divisions?

It's higlhly unlikely that IIT will start a football program anytime in the foreseeable future.

Yeah, but who? Finlandia is focused upon getting into the UMAC as a full member, and former NACC member Maranatha Baptist just dropped the sport. That leaves absolutely no independents available for the NACC to add as an associate member for football.

Based upon what?

Actually, it will have eleven men's basketball teams post-Benedictine, not twelve:

Aurora
Concordia (IL)
Concordia (WI)
Dominican
Edgewood
Illinois Tech
Lakeland
Marian
MSOE
Rockford
Wisconsin Lutheran

It will have twelve for women's basketball, thanks to the presence of a women's college (Alverno) in the NACC ranks.
