A weekly look at what’s going on in the Centennial Conference:
Volleyball
|
And you thought the NFL has parity ... CC volleyball enters its final week
with a five-way tie for first. Key matches on Wednesday are: Muhlenberg at
Ursinus, Gettysburg at Franklin & Marshall, Haverford at Swarthmore and
Johns Hopkins at Western Maryland. Because they only have one loss to the
other contending teams, the Mules would win most tiebreaker scenarios and
would have a good shot at hosting the CC Tournament if they beat Ursinus.
However, if Muhlenberg loses to Ursinus, and Gettysburg, Haverford and
Johns Hopkins all win, the Mules would miss out on the playoffs entirely.
Stay tuned.

Muhlenberg has clinched a share of the regular-season title and will host
the CC Tournament this weekend. Gettysburg will be the No. 2 seed. The
remaining two qualifiers will be decided Tuesday by the
Gettysburg-at-Dickinson and Johns Hopkins-at-F&M games. For the three
contending teams, it’s simple: win and you’re in.

Johns Hopkins has clinched a playoff berth. The Mules need help even if
they win their final two games, since they have lost to the two teams with
which they are tied. Based on the standings, Western Maryland (vs.
Dickinson, at Washington) and Haverford (at Ursinus, vs. Swarthmore) have
easier schedules this week than Muhlenberg (vs. F&M, vs. Ursinus). But
Gettysburg and F&M still have to play Johns Hopkins, so anything is
possible.
