Week Three is upon us, and the UMAC conference season is set to begin! The UMAC teams haven’t had much success yet this year, so I’m sure all teams are ready to chalk a few up in the win column. Without further adieu, here are this week’s matchups:
Northwestern at Greenville - The Panthers and the Eagles have both had a rough start to the season, so both will be hungry for that first 2018 win. My gut tells me that Northwestern has the edge, but they will face a long road trip and will need to get their offense going if they hope to outscore Greenville. I think Northwestern wins a close one, 17-14.
Minnesota Morris at MacMurray - Well there’s probably a better way to say it, but...Morris looks really bad. Two shutouts to start the year, and they face a tough conference opponent in MacMurray, not to mention a long road trip. The odds are stacked against the Cougars. MacMurray wins this one outright, 35-6.
Iowa Wesleyan at Westminster - This could turn out to be an interesting matchup. Iowa Wesleyan looks to be improved from last year and had a nice game against Cornell in week one. Westminster is still looking to get on the board in 2018, but they will be at home in their brand spankin’ new stadium, and I think the momentum will be in their favor. Westminster will take this one, 28-20.
St. Scholastica at Crown - The Saints are looking for their first win in 2018, and Crown is looking for their first win in over a year. While Crown has the home field advantage, St. Scholastica has the advantage in numbers and chemistry, and I think they’re still the UMAC team to beat. The Saints will weather the Storm, 49-14.
