Go WEST young man (and NORTH)

After CMS was crushed by Caltech, kind of crazy that they remain in the Top 8, but that's probably a reflection of the overall dearth of strong teams in Region X

Redlands and CMS both recovered from their upset losses this weekend.

Redlands 4 - Chapman 0

CMS 3 - Cal Lutheran 0

As a result, they are now first and second in the SCIAC standings.

Occidental, however, continues its late season collapse, tying Whittier 2-2 and falling to 7th in the standings.  If it can beat Caltech on Saturday (no easy task - just ask CMS!) then it could jump up as high as 4th and make the conference tournament, but that assumes Whittier doesn't beat CMS and Pomona-Pitzer doesn't beat Cal Lutheran.  If both happen, they would each jump Chapman for 4th and 5th and Chapman and Oxy's seasons would end.

Upstarts Schreiner and Howard Payne got their hats handed to them in the ASC tonight

Mary Hardin-Baylor 6 - Schreiner 1

UMHB follows up a bad tie to ETBU by demolishing Schreiner, which at one point looked like it might have a chance in the ASC.  UMHB goes to the last game of the regular season on a 10 game unbeaten streak

East Texas Baptist 5 - Howard Payne 1

ETBU looks like it is peaking at the right time.  When it played Howard Payne earlier in the season at their place, it was a 0-0 tie.

Halloween could be ugly in Texas.  Howard Payne plays @Mary Hardin-Baylor and Schreiner plays @East Texas Baptist in their last games of the regular season.
