Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference 2010 Soccer Preview & Preseason Poll
It’s that time again in Minnesota. The State Fair is in full gear and the kids are heading back to school soon if they’ve not done so already.
That also means it’s time for college soccer. The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) has one of the best Division-3 soccer conferences in the nation for both men’s and women’s programs. The teams are competitive and well coached and most years you will find several Minnesota teams in the NCAA postseason playoffs with some pushing far into the tournament.
The MIAC website is equal to the task with excellent pages for both men’s and women’s programs. Every year I compliment the site and this year is no different. The site isn’t overly complicated but has the information you need laid out in a very intuitive manner.
One of the features I really like are the schedules which you can find on the right sidebar below the standings. Click on any date and you know who’s playing where and when that day. Want more information about a team? Click on the icon of any team at the top and go to their website or click on the school name in the standings and go directly to that school’s soccer program page. Very well thought out and put together by MIAC.
Last year I toiled for hours gathering information from coaches, AD’s and teams in an attempt to preview each schools men’s and women’s soccer program. This year I decided to leave that to MIAC since they do an excellent job themselves.

Also, the 2010 preseason polls are out and Macalester leads the way for the men with St. Thomas and Carleton nipping at their heels.
For the women Concordia is once again at the top this year with Carleton and St. Thomas trailing.
