Random Thoughts:

We just have the one rare SCIAC match. Not sure why this is on Thursday but my guess is someone had a conflict tomorrow. Oh! I know what it is. Whittier is headed up to UC Santa Cruz on Saturday and that’s a travel day for them.

As for the match, I think Whittier is in a tier below La Verne and above the rest of the conference. (Not sure where CMS fits but they are either with Whittier or slightly better.) So, I think they win this match. With that said, Chapman has a nice win over Redlands (who just beat Pomona-Pitzer) and a surprising loss to Occidental. So, not sure how they will show for this but it’s clear there is a wide space between their floor and ceiling. Here’s hoping for the ceiling and a good match against the Poets.
