Go WEST young man (and NORTH)

A couple of Region X games that caught my eye

Southwestern 1 - Centre 0

Southwestern wins it on a 72nd minute goal for its ninth game without a loss.  True to form, Southwestern doesn't generate much offense (it has only scored 20 goals in 11 games), but it also doesn't give up many goals (only 4 thus far this season).  Centre is a bigger mystery to me.  They are 2-7-3 and 0-3 in the SAA, but one of their two victories is a 2-0 win over Denison.

Colorado College 5 - St. Thomas 1

CC dominates UST, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first half and then, after UST closed the gap to 3-1, blowing the game open with 2 more after UST went down to 10 men because of a second yellow.  CC doesn't feel as dominant as in years past, but is quietly putting together a strong season and remains the odds-on favorite to win the SCAC.

Linfield 3 - Pacific 3

Pacific was up 3-1 early in the 2nd half before Linfield came roaring back with two late goals.  At 2-3-2, Linfield has already equaled its win total from a year ago and is showing real improvement on the field.
