Lower Division Updates 10.18.17: Rocky Mountain Men Sweep in Tight CCC Race
In an extremely tight race for the regular season title in the Cascade Conference, the Rocky Mountain College men swept their two games against tough opposition on the road last week. The opened things up with a convincing 4-1 victory at Corban versus a Warriors side that is also challenging for the top spot, and then topped mid-table Northwest Christian 2-1. The Bears are 8-1-0 and have pulled away from the pack in a three-way race for the top seed in the postseason with 8-1-1 Southern Oregon and 7-1-1 Corban.On the other side of the CCC the Eastern Oregon ladies are still perfect at 7-0-0, picking up an easy win at Warner Pacific that clinched a playoff spot.
Though longtime power Whitworth has turned a corner on their season with a four-game win streak thanks to a pair of road wins last week, the story remains the ladies in Spokane. The Pirates suffered their first defeat of the campaign over the weekend, but quickly rebounded with a thunderous 5-1 result in the second half of their trip for an 8-1-1 mark. The loss, though, allowed 9-1-0 Pacific Lutheran to jump into first.
In Nampa, the Northwest Nazarene sides had a fairly eventful week. The ladies split in a pair of close contests, falling via a penalty kick 1-0 on the road against unbeaten Concordia and defeating Western Oregon with a dramatic 1-0 overtime decision. The men topped MSU-Billings 3-1. The matches marked their final games as the Crusaders with the school announcing on Monday that it has officially rebranded as the Nighthawks beginning immediately, a decision that is believed to have made NCAA history according to the program because its men's golf team was playing in a tournament at the time of the announcement, making it the first team in NCAA history to undergo a name change in the middle of game competition.
