It’s a busy week for me so the coverage is a little lighter than normal. After some exciting Conference Carolinas matches yesterday, here are the updated standings.
Belmont Abbey has battled their way to the front of the pack at the halfway mark. There is still plenty of time left for the remainder of the chaos to ensue.
Speaking of chaos, we have a MIVA matchup today that VBelo has a super close one. Give it a watch if you have the time (link below with the match projection). I always appreciate a free livestream!
