FREMONT – Here’s a look at local sports today with Rich Ray:
Soccer
Midland University’s women’s soccer team battled back from a two-goal deficit, pushing the contest against Concordia University to double overtime, but the teams settled for a 2-2 tie in Great Plains Athletic Conference action. Tonight’s double-overtime game is Midland’s third in their last five contests.
Midland moves to 3-3-3 on the year with an identical mark in GPAC action while Concordia sits at 7-3-2 overall and 7-2-2 in the league. The team (3-3-3) returns to action on Saturday as the team heads to the College of Saint Mary for a 1:00 p.m. game. CSM sits at 3-6-1 on the year.
Also on Wednesday night, the Midland Warriors men’s team faced the Concordia University Bulldogs and were narrowly defeated in a defensive showdown, 1-0. Similar to their matchups the last few seasons, the Warriors and Bulldogs very physical and the mood was tense all night, there would be two yellow cards given out along with a total of 17 fouls on the night.
The Warriors (5-3, 5-3) will take the pitch again on November 11 at home against Briar Cliff University (8-0, 6-0). The GPAC matchup is set to kickoff at 2:30 p.m.
NAIA News
The NAIA’s Council of Presidents Executive Committee met Wednesday and voted not to charge fall and winter student-athletes a season of competition for the 2020-21 academic year.
This decision was based on a survey of conferences and reflects the majority feedback. Of the 19 conferences that responded, 12 were in favor of removing the 50% rule, four were in favor of keeping the 50% rule, and three were divided in their position.
