2012 Final Standings
Looking back: Cal Lutheran (8-2 overall in 2012) emerged unbeaten in Southern Collegiate Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) play, finishing 7-0 in league games last season. Still, the Kingsmen couldn't get over the hump in the NCAA Division III playoffs, losing to North Central, 41-21, in the first round.
Looking ahead: It appears that everyone will be chasing Cal Lutheran for all of the marbles in the SCIAC again in 2013.
Predicted order of finish (2012 overall record in parentheses)
1. Cal Lutheran (8-2): Barring any serious injuries or other unforeseen circumstances, expect the Kingsmen to be on the throne of the SCIAC when all is said and done in 2013. By the way, the last time CLU didn't win a conference crown came in 2008.
2. Redlands (6-3): All three of the Bulldogs losses in 2012 came by 10 or more points. But that didn't stop them from ending the season on a five-game winning streak.
3. Chapman (6-3): Head Coach Bob Owens and the Panthers will try to build on the program's best finish 1996.
4. LaVerne (4-5): The Leopards look to leap higher in the SCIAC standings after finishing 4-3 in conference play last year.
5. Whittier (4-5): The Poets just can't to seem to get over that four-win hump, can they? Their last winning season came in 1998, when they finished 7-2 overall.
6. Occidental (2-7): The Tigers look to start from scratch under former Yale assistant Doug Semones.
7. Pomona-Pitzer (1-8): Wins have been hard to come by for the Sagehens, who have won just two games over the past three years.
8. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (0-9): Speaking of which, the Stags have gone finishing 7-2 in 2010, to 4-5 in 2011, to winless in 2012. It's a trend that head coach Kyle Sweeney hopes to see reversed in 2013.
