The Northern Athletics Challenge Game Sends the Raiders to Sheboygan
The "NAC Challenge Game" will not count in standings or conference record, but will be used in the head-to-head tiebreaker to determine higher overall-seed for games involving the same seed (i.e. North #1 vs. South #1). The top four teams from each division (4 North, 4 South) will make the eight team tournament. The teams will then be seeded #1-8, (North #1 and South #1 will be overall #1 and #2 seeds; North #2 and South #2 will be the overall #3 and #4 seeds, etc.). Places will be not crossed or mixed for seeding (i.e. if South #2 has a better record than North #1, South #2 does not slide up to the overall #2 seed).
MSOE (13-11, 10-8 NAC South) finishes as the third place team in the South Division and travels to Lakeland (16-8, 11-6 NAC North) the third place team in the North Division. The game is set for Saturday, Feb. 21 with a 2:00 p.m. tip off. Win or lose, MSOE will travel for a NAC first round playoff game on Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 7pm at an opponent and site to be determined.
