MIAC Men’s and Women’s 2010 Playoff Teams Determined
Just like the leaves that fall on the trees every fall, it seems you can count on the MIAC Men’s and Women’s soccer conferences to came down to the last weekend of the season to decide the top four teams that qualify for playoffs. This year was no different.
In the Men’s Conference, MIAC teams that qualified for the post season tournament were: 1) Macalester (8-2-0, 24-points, 14-3-1 overall), 2) Augsburg (7-2-1, 22-points, 13-4-1 overall), 3) Carleton (7-2-1, 22-points, 11-6-1 overall) and 4) Concordia (6-3-1, 19-points, 12-5-1 overall).
Augsburg won a critical game on Friday 1-0 against Gustavus, which knocked the Gusties out of playoff contention allowing Concordia to take the 4th and final spot. Macalester defeated Hamline 1-0 to assure them of the top seed and a first place finish.
In Saturday’s action Carleton defeated St. Olaf 3-1 in the Northfield derby that takes place the last Saturday of the season every year, and Concordia hung on to the #4 spot despite a 2-1 loss to St. Johns in overtime.
Macalester will now host Concordia-Moorhead for a MIAC semi-final playoff match on Tuesday evening, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. and Augsburg will host Carleton. Their game will also be at 7:30pm at Edor Nelson Field, which is the first-ever home playoff game for the Auggies!
On the women’s side, teams that qualified for the MIAC playoffs are: 1) Carleton (9-1-1, 28-points, 13-2-1 overall), 2) Concordia (7-2-2, 23-points, 10-4-3 overall), 3) St. Thomas (7-3-1, 22-points, 11-6-1 overall and 4) Saint Benedict (7-3-1, 22 points, 11-6-1 overall).
Carleton will host Saint Benedict on Wednesday Nov. 3rd, and Concordia will host St. Thomas. Game times to be determined.

You might be right. That small field of Augsburg’s will play into their favor. I see Mac winning as well.

Interesting result last night in the MAC game, very unexpected. An Augsburg/Concordia final should be interesting!
