PNCLL Weekly Poll Question (Week #5 3/1-3/8)

[Dan Wishengrad]

Most of the time our PNCLL teams play in relative obscurity, geographically isolated in the upper corner of the country. Far from the national spotlight, truth be told, not many folks around the MDIA world pay much attention to any of our conference games. But this week is different, as all eyes will be focused north of the border. The #7 Oregon Ducks, undefeated on the season, travel to Canada to take on the #23 Simon Fraser Clansmen. SFU upset UO 7-5 in Eugene last season, but then the Ducks got the last laugh with a 19-6 rout over the Clan in the PNCLL Finals. This time around Simon Fraser is more battled-tested, having played a tougher early season schedule with three ranked opponents already in the young season. But Oregon is ready, possessing their highest national ranking and poised to truly enter the world of the MDIA-elite. This one is as "make-or-break" for both teams as is possible for a non-playoff game. What will be the outcome?

Only one poll voter correctly picked the Ducks by a single goal! Congrats to the sage who did so, and no fair voting now that the outcome has been decided folks --- 1 out of 33 winners this week!
