The top six teams make the MIAC tournament and it usually takes 15 points to punch your ticket. We stalled at 12 points for three conference games, but we just got that elusive fifth win at Bethel on Tuesday! Seniors Patrick Erredge and Ben Becker netted goals in a hard fought 2-1 victory for the boys in red. The relief was palpable as the final whistle blew. No one in the league has made the playoffs more times in the last eight seasons than your Johnnies!
We host Carleton tomorrow in the regular season finale with a chance at earning a home playoff game next Tuesday. Carleton are an organized and gritty side that believe the team that makes the fewest mistakes will win, and they don’t make many. It, like most late season MIAC games, should be a tight affair. Here are the playoff scenarios.
The team is buzzing and ready to play some knockout soccer. We’ve knocked on the door in recent seasons. . .but it is time to kick the dang thing down. I hope you can tune in or be there next week!
OUR FAMILY vs. their team,
John Haws
