Conference tournament here we come!

We're getting ready to head down to Dubuque for the IIAC Tournament...


here's the schedule of events:

Friday (today) at 11 a.m. no. 2 Dubuque plays no. 3 Loras
Friday at 1:30 p.m. no. 1 LUTHER plays no. 5 Simpson

Saturday at 4 p.m. the winners of today's matches will play for the tournament championship, and the direct bid to nationals.

Check here for live stats and the webcast of today's games: http://www.iowaconference.com/women/soccer/tournament/2009.htm

In previous play,
Dubuque defeated Loras on Oct. 21, 2-1 in two overtimes
and
Luther defeated Simpson on Oct. 10, 1-0 in OT

(also...
Dubuque defeated Luther, 2-1, on Sept. 26,
Loras and Luther tied 0-0 on Oct. 7 after two overtimes
Simpson defeated Dubuque, 1-0, on Oct. 24 with a penalty kick,
Loras defeated Simpson, 1-0 in OT on Oct. 31)

EVERY MATCH this season between these four teams has been decided by one goal (or less:) ) With four of the six matches going to overtime!

Any way you slice it, this is going to be one heck of a tournament to watch.

The teams will play at the "Rock Bowl" at Loras College as it is the men's conference champs that determined the tournament location this year. This gives the Loras women the obvious home field advantage-forcing the other three teams to play their turf.

Keep a good thought for the Norse as we head into the most intense IIAC tournament we've seen in years! GO NORSE!
