Wingate v. UCSD -- 2-0 Charleston v. Rockhurst -- 2-1 Saturday's DII Championship Charleston v. Wingate In my opinion, Charleston will win by at least 2 goals. They were clearly the best team in the semis. I just do not see Wingate having the firepower or defensive ability to keep up with Charleston. Rockhurst was outmatched, big time.
Six finals today. (If I thought about this sooner, maybe I would have put together an all-small-college pool for this weekend's SF's and F's). Go Michigan Teams!

BOY...I was wrong. Wingate beats Charleston 2-0. Hastings beat Rio Grande 1-0 to win NAIA National Championship. Hastings goes 25-0-1 on the season with their lone draw in 2nd round of National Tournament.
