West Region Rankings (10/30/17)

Well this week’s regional rankings are a big one. The RACs have had a chance to work out any issues they may have had and the ordering will give you a good idea where teams sit prior to the conference tournaments. Of the eight teams listed in the West rankings we had 5 losses this……

Weekend Wrap-Up

Update – I’ve also updated the Watch List. I removed Chapman and UTD this week as I think neither have a chance at a Pool C bid. Tournament champ or bust! One other interesting note that I’ll repeat when the regional rankings come out about the regional host site. Right now Claremont is the odds……

Saturday, October 28 Match Day

Update: Box score links will not happen today. Sorry. Caltech trying to win an SCIAC match for the first time in forever. Going to 5th set. History, as Caltech earns their first ever SCIAC victory. First shoe drops as Whittier loses to La Verne. Chapman is winning and if they hang on then Whittier is……

Wednesday, October 25 Match Day

Update: Southwestern gets a measure of revenge against the NAIA team that beat them earlier in the year. Everything I see is that Caltech just beat Chapman!?! I don’t believe Caltech has won a SCIAC conference match in over a decade. Box score says Caltech won and SCIAC site says Caltech won. Live Stats says……
