McDonell/Regis
McD/Regis Boys posted a 1-0 win over Washburn earlier this week to run their record to 4-2-3. Steady. Time for a little winning streak to build momentum for the end of the year.
Big Rivers Conference
Surprise team of the year: Rice Lake. With only 3 Senior starters, Rice Lake has put together a nice run of games. A 0-0 result against Conference leader Memorial and a nice win on the road against Chippewa Falls, 2-0. That is an important result in the conference. They are in striking distance of 2nd place and showing resilience. They may make some noise in their Division this year.
A goal on a PK and a late header were the difference against CF …plus a clean sheet against a dangerous team shows some defensive skills. Well done!
Did I predict the Rice Lake win? Lets review my last post. CF has 4 straight wins in conference and are riding a lot of momentum coming into this week. Two difficult games for them as they face Rice Lake and Memorial. Both home games so that may give them an edge. If they are thinking ahead to Memorial, Rice Lake could surprise them.
There it is in print. Rice Lake could…and did surprise them. Just sayin.
Schedule for the week.

UWEC Blugolds
Okay Blugolds, now we have a win streak. I like it. A nice win on Wednesday against St. Olaf 2-0 and back to back wins for the first time this year. As we have discussed, 4 losses by only 1 goal, so they were close and now getting some positive results. Record on the year has now improved to 2-1-4. A week off before playing Augsburg next week on the road. Can we make it three in a row ladies!
