Another week and still hard to get updates on soccer in Eau Claire. Here are some new updates for you, the soccer fan of Eau Claire. You are not alone, I feel you!!
McDonell/Regis
McDonell/Regis has had a little break following their recent 1-0 win last week. I am pretty sure they are 4-2-1, but I will keep snooping around for updates. They play again on Thursday against Phillips. More to follow on Friday.
Big Rivers Conference
Here is an update on the conference as we move into the second half of the conference calendar. Things are taking shape with Memorial, Chippewa Falls and Hudson in the best spot to win conference.
School Record
EC Memorial 6-0-1
Hudson 4-2-0
Chippewa Falls 4-3-0
Rice Lake 3-2-2
EC North 2-4-1
River Falls 2-4-1
Menomonie 0-6-1
Surprise result of the week: Chippewa Falls dropping back to back home games against Rice Lake and Memorial. Thought they would split at home.
Team to watch: Hudson. Hudson sits in second with the only real chance to challenge Memorial for the conference crown. They have a big game against Rice Lake on Thursday that is a must win and Rice Lake has played really well against the top half of the conference.
