Today, #1
MichiganState and #2
Eastern Michigan will be faced against one another in a battle that will decide the MCRHL Regular Season Champion, and thus, the #1 seed in next weekend?s MCRHL Championships.The Spartans (
15-1-1,
23-3-1) have always been a power house in the MCRHL and will look to continue that tradition tonight.Their only regular season loss came against
Western Michigan by a score of 6-4.The Eagles (14-0-1, 20-0-1) are having the best season in team history.The two teams have met twice this season.Once was an exhibition game to decide the Winter Invitational Champion, and EMU won with a score of 6-4.The second time these teams battled, the game ended in a 6-6 tie.This puts a lot of emphasis on tonight?s game because the two teams cannot split their regular season series (unless they tie).If EMU wins, they will automatically claim the MCRHL Regular Season crown because they would be tied at 31 points on the season with MSU, but will have the tie-breaker with the win.If MSU wins, they will have 33 points on the season, and the tie-breaker.It all comes down to tonight at
in
Canton,
MI.
