RFC Summer Semester: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Preview (NCAA Division III)

Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC)--NCAA Division III

Website

2013 Final Standings

Looking back: Texas Lutheran (8-1 overall in 2013) went undefeated in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) action at 3-0, with TLU winning last year's league title. Yes, they may have lost just one game, but it proved very costly for the Bulldogs and their postseason hopes, as their 73-44 late-season setback to Hardin-Simmons cost them an at-large berth to the NCAA Division III playoffs in 2013.

Looking ahead: Don't be surprised if Texas Lutheran takes home the 2014 SCAC crown.

Predicted order of finish (2013 overall record in parentheses):

1. Texas Lutheran (8-1):  If the Bulldogs hope to find themselves competing in postseason play this season, there can no be margin for error whatsoever.

2. Trinity (Tex.)--(5-5):  The Tigers hope to return to their winning ways after struggling to a 1-2 record in SCAC play, as well as posting their second non-winning record in the last four years.

3. Austin (5-5):  With four straight wins to close out the 2013 season, there's cautious optimism for the Kangaroos and the faithful for the 2014 season.

4. Southwestern (Tex.)--(0-10):  The Pirates will enter the 2014 season of play looking to win a game.
