mac teams

the mac appears to be a much stronger conference this year

Northern Illinois is 4-1 and had a high quality win this weekend...3-2 in overtime over Marquette...always good to see a mac team beat a big east team

NIU plays at #1 Creighton Tuesday night

Bowling Green is 6-1...they play at Dayton on the 23rd and host Michigan state on the 29th

Western Michigan is 5-0-1 after playing Dayton to a 1-1 tie this afternoon.

West Virginia is hosting Georgetown this afternoon at 4 today. WVU's best result this year was a 1-0 overtime loss to Michigan State. unrelated to the mac, VCU and Georgetown played to a tie Friday night

tonight was not a good night for the other teams in the MAC.

Top Drawer soccer had Western Michigan ranked at #18. WMU was 5-0-1 before today and had given up 1 goal all year in 6 matches.

They had tied Dayton 1-1 on Sunday.

WMU lost today 2-0 to Valparaiso.

Bowling Green was 6-1 before today...they went down to play Dayton today. final - Dayton 6 Bowling Green 0

unrelated to other MAC teams...Akron's 1-0 win over Georgetown continues to look impressive. Georgetown had a high quality 2-1 win over Maryland today.

If you look closely at the level of competition WMU and BGSU faced early in the season and the fact that they played mostly home games, they were paper tigers. This is not to suggest that they aren't strong MAC teams, because they are. But there is still only one national power in the MAC that can win games against other national powers on the road.

DiG,

Your assessment of MAC competition is right on it! Paper Tigers indeed! More is the pity.
