NCAA III Championships

On the women's side, Wheaton College won their second straight NCAA III Championship over Messiah last weekend. I had the privilege of being the NCAA site rep at the Wheaton sectional on November 17 and 18 when Wheaton defeated Wis.-Steven's Point and Univ of Puget Sound. You can read about the final four here. The Thunder went 27-0 on the season and have won 40 matches in a row dating back to 2006. WC was ranked #1 before the tourney and Messiah was ranked #2.

On the men's side Trinity (Texas) from the Central Region (our region) was defeated 4-3 in penalty kicks by Middlebury. Here is the game story. Too bad the national championship had to be decided by penalties. Middlebury was ranked #11 in the nation prior to the tournament and Trinity was #1.
