There's a bunch of good teams all playing a wide variety of styles. The up-tempo game of WLU and Mercyhurst's triangle and two defense are about as contrasting styles as you can get. In certain years, Gannon has had really, really tough teams that didn't go down easy. Slippery Rock and Hurst have both pulled off big upsets. Fairmont State has proven to be a mainstay in the MEC and in the NCAA field. Other PSAC teams not named IUP such as Kutztown, West Chester, and East Stroudsburg have gone on deep runs in the Regional. The CIAA appears to be getting stronger.
Nobody has cut down the net yet, but the winner of the region each year always represents us very well. It shows that this is a tough region to get through. The days of IUP and WLU being the only two real combatants are long over. It's only a matter of time before somebody wins the last game.
