Kent is 8-1 since the Cats beat them a month ago. The two teams that swept Ohio the past two weeks (Northern & Fiami) were both swept by Kent. I think the Cats will be ready and this one should be a war. Tonight (Thursday) at 7. Go OHIO.

You have to hand it to Kent, they came in and played hard (all but the first set). Everything Ohio hit offensively, Kent was there to dig it up. Kent has themselves a good group of girls, and I wonder now if they can truly make a run for the MAC Tourney Title. Now that NIU is on top of the MAC, I see they have WMU and Ball State left to play yet. So, there's some hope of them dropping one more contest. I just hope Ohio doesn't lose confidence after this, they're still a very talented team with a lot of potential. I'd hate to see them go one and done again this year.

The ladies just need to get back in rhythm and ride that trough the tourney.

It would almost be to our benefit to finish third and have a game against a lessor opponent to get the kinks out. Time for some senior leadership. Have fun ladies, the sun will still rise tomorrow whether you win or lose.

Have fun ladies, the sun will still rise tomorrow whether you win or lose. Someone help me out here. NIU will get a double bye and if Kent & Ohio win out, they will be tied for second. I believe head to heads will be next determiner and we split with Kent. If team records in the East is the next criterion, and I'm not sure about that, then we have one fewer loss which would give us the double bye.

If team records in the East is the next criterion, and I'm not sure about that, then we have one fewer loss which would give us the double bye. I'm not sure what the tiebreaker criteria are, and I can't seem to find it on the MAC website, but if it follows the same rules as men's basketball, then division record is the second criteria in the case only of division leaders. However, a possible scenario would be that NIU loses one of its final matches (probably to WMU) and that would create a three-way tie for first between Ohio, NIU and Kent State. In that case, Kent State would be the #1 seed (with a 2-1 record vs. those teams), NIU would be #2 (with a 1-1 record) and Ohio would be #3 (with a 1-2 record). And things could really change if Ohio loses one of its final two matches, though, of course, it should not lose to those teams.

Ok, so I'm rooting for NIU to win out and if we do too, it doesn't matter what Kent does.

Miami topped BG 3-1 last night to stay right behind Ohio and Kent State.
