hold a one game lead over the second place team. It would mark the
Panthers first ever outright regular season championship and their
fourth title overall. |
The Tigers men's soccer team recorded their first win of the
season last week with a 3-1 road victory over Blackburn. They
scored on three of their six shots on goal and the win marks the
program's first victory in SLIAC play. |
The MacMurray volleyball team wraps up their season this weekend
with a tri-match at Fontbonne University on Saturday and a match
against Greenville on Tuesday. The Highlanders will face Spalding

already surpassed last season's win totals in both overall and
conference play. |

SLIAC Tournament. The men's team can clinch a berth into the
tournament with a win on Saturday. The women's team is one of three
fighting for the final two spots into the tournament. |
The Spalding men's cross country team will be looking to repeat as
SLIAC Champions this weekend. The Golden Eagles won last year's
event after having the top two runners and three runners in the top
seven. |
With just one game remaining in the regular season the Gorlok
women's soccer team has an eye on an undefeated conference season.
They currently stand at 7-0 in SLIAC play and have won eight

undefeated conference season since 2006. |
