Lake Forest wins fifth championship
in seven years, Carroll claims second
History was made Saturday afternoon at Schuldes
Sportscenter in DePere, Wis., as the #5-seed Lake Forest College downed
#7-seed Carroll College 31-29, 30-24, 29-31, 30-14 to win the 2003 MWC
Championship. The championship game marked the first time ever in MWC
Volleyball Tournament history that both teams playing were less than the
#3 seed coming into the tournament. As the fifth seed, Lake Forest becomes
the only school to ever win the title below the #3 seed also.
The Foresters made it to the final game by
defeating defending champion, host and tournament favorite St. Norbert
3-1. The Pioneers were victorious over divisonal opponnent Beloit in the
semifinals, 3-0. St. Norbert finished in third place by beating Beloit
3-0 and in the fifth place game it was Illinois C. over Monmouth three
games to one.

#2, #3, and #4 seeds fall in first games;
defending Champion St. Norbert moves on to Saturday; Carroll and Beloit
to play for a chance at the title
Day one of the 2003 MWC Volleyball Championship Tournament
proivded more excitment, more surprises and more upsets than in any recent
years.
As expected, the first match of the day between South
Division rivals Grinnell and Knox went the distance with the Pioneers
winning in five games. Carroll shutout North Division foe Lawrence 3-0
in the other opening round match. Lake Forest avenged a loss to Ripon
from the 2003 Crossover by defeating the fourth seeded Red Hawks 3-1 while
Beloit upended the third seed Monmouth in five games, the last four of
which were all decided by only two points each.
Defending Champion St. Norbert took the floor for the
first time in round three and rebounded from a first game loss to Grinnell
by taking the next three straight and the match. The upset of the night,
arguably, came at the hands of Carroll who dropped#2 seed Illinois C.
in three straight games. All three games were not only decided by two
points each, but all of them went extra points before being decided. In
the night caps Knox knocked Ripon out of the tourney with a 3-0 victory
and Monmouth won games two through four after falling behind 1-0 and knocked
out Lawrence 3-1.
