Great Plains Season Off to Great Start!
Next event will prove as exciting as first!
The
Great Plains Region is already off to a great start! After
finishing the 2003-2004 season with all four National Championships
going to Great Plains teams, the teams seem to be returning in National
Champion form. The first weekend's schedule highlighted these
teams by pairing them up against each other.
Lindenwood continued their success by not only defeating their own National Champion B team, but the DII and DIII National Champions as well. With the exception of the Lindenwood defeats, each National Champion continued their successes by going undefeated in every other game of the event. The University of Missouri - Rivermen completed wins versus Southeast Missouri State and Western Illinois, while St. Charles County Community College defeated Saint Louis University and St. Louis Community College - Meramec. Lindenwood B went on to win against Saint Louis B, Southeast Missouri State B, and the University of Missouri - Columbia B.
Another success of the first weekend was the amount of offense. In Division I, John Gillis (Rolla) leads the division with four points in two games. Will Roestel of the University of Missouri - St. Louis leads Division II with five goals and three assists in two games. Brandon Marchand, largely known as one of the best players in the region, if not the Nation, leads Division III scorers with three goals and one assist in two games. And last, the B division is host to a four-way tie between players on four separate teams for the points leader.
The upcoming event on November 6th and 7th plays host to another set of great games. Archrivals Saint Louis University and the University of Missouri - St. Louis start off the event with a sure-to-be exciting game. Concurrently Washington University starts their season off by playing Lindenwood University in an exhibition match. Lindenwood University then plays St. Louis Community College - Meramec at noon. St. Charles County Community College B, currently ranked second in the Nation to Lindenwood University B, will match up versus St. Louis Community College - Meramec B on Sunday.
The next event will prove as exciting in the first, and each team will undoubtedly settle in for what will become the best Great Plains season to date. Good luck to all teams!
