It was reported by Radio Iowa last week that the Iowa Conference is looking for a new member. Ever since the departure of Upper Iowa in 2003, the IIAC has been left with just nine schools. So far, there is no indication as to which schools are being considered, but I'll take a stab at it anyway.

1. Grinnell - The Pioneers look like the top possibility. Despite the school's location in the heart of Iowa, Grinnell plays in a Midwest Confrence void of any other Hawkeye state members. A move to bring them in would not only help with scheduling, but would maintain the conference's academic standing.

2.....Well, since there are no other DIII schools in the state, it's kind of hard to decide who else is in the mix.

Schools I wouldn't mind making the move to DIII for the IIAC:

-Grand View: The Vikings could be a much needed western school in the eastern Iowa dominated conference.

-Upper Iowa: It appears the move to DII hasn't been as successful as the Peacocks would have wanted. Maybe a move back to DIII could be the cure.

-Waldorf: Waldorf may be on the small end, but the school does have a football program (a plus over some other eastern/central Iowa colleges).

With that said, is the IIAC looking outside Iowa as well? I guess we'll have to wait and see...

LCTV13 was down in Greenboro, NC for the NCAA DIII Soccer Final Four. The Duhawks fell to eventual national champion Messiah in the semi-final round. We have highlights and look at some folks who made the journey to the Tar Heel state.

One of the online DIII Soccer authorities has little faith in Loras' chances, or so the first sentence of their final four preview would lead you to believe.

"The (Messiah) Falcons return once again to the semi-finals and that experience should pay off in a determined, stress free match against Loras."

Rough.

The writer goes on to give kudos to Loras' run and hinted at a possible OT conclusion, but, overall, it looks like the folks at D3soccer.com are pretty set on a Messiah victory.

Also, they need to learn how to type "Duhawks". It's not DuHawks. Whats with the capital H?

Anywho....We'll get to see if the Duhawks can prove their critics wrong with a win Friday morning at 10 am (Central).

Here's a look at how the Loras soccer team made it to their second straight NCAA Final Four.
