    At this point, Park and Baker are still in it.

    Baker plays at 3 pm today.

    Park plays at 5 pm

    If any of us make it out, root on the local teams.

    GO PIRATES!! Doubt I'll make it out tonight, but if Park U advances I'll probably try to make the next game.

    That sucks. Oh well, at least we won the MCAC championship.

    I may still go out and catch a game anyway.

    You should. To anyone who hasn't been, there is some surprisingly good soccer going on at the NAIA level. The influence that foreign players have, (I doubt AUM has more than 2 players who speak english as their first language) creates an interesting mix of styles on the field.

    I'd like to see a list sometime of NAIA players that have gone on to play professionally here and abroad. I imagine that would be next to impossible considering these players come from every corner of the globe.

    Well if you want proof that the NAIA is decent, look at Grand View, out of Des Moines. This year they defeated then number 25 in division I, Drake 1-0.
