Keeping it nice and short today. Tons of match scores from yesterday with a handful of meaningful upsets in several conferences. The MIVA continues to add intrigue while the ECC and NEC are showing off their parity. You love to see it!
Also, Penn State fended off a tough Saint Francis in five sets yesterday and now they have to go right back at it. We might only have one match today, but it could be interesting if SFU can capture some of the magic from yesterday.
