Elgin, Ill.- Looking to continue their Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Confernce (CCAC) dominance, the Judson University men's soccer team was picked to win their fifth straight championship. Judson received 80 points and eight first place votes.
Given 65 points for second place is St. Xavier University followed by Olivet Nazarene (62) in third, Illinois Tech (59) in fourth, and Cardinal Stritch (48) in fifth. Both Olivet Nazarene and Illinois Tech each received one first-place vote.
Taking sixth with 46 points is Trinity International with seventh going to Trinity Christian (36). Robert Morris was eighth (27) while St. Francis (IL) was ninth with 15 points and Calumet College (12) in 10th.
Judson has won the last four CCAC regular season and tournament titles while also winning the NAIA Region VII Tournament. They have also qualified for the NAIA Tournament the past four seasons. This year, the NAIA has done away with the regional tournament and the conference tournament winner receives the automatic bid to the NAIA Tournament. The teams will then play a first-round match at the top seeds site with the winner advancing onto the second round that will be played in California.
