Turmoil in the west region already. #8 Chaminade beats #1 Anchorage. #2 Western Washington gets knocked off by archrival #7 CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY!

Wayne State gets upset in the first round of the NSIC Tournament by Augustana. I think Wayne still hosts the Central Regional, but who knows now.

Still have the highest RPI in the region (though that could change) and went 3-0 against CSP, so yeah.

[MrMustang]

I would think the SMSU win over Wayne really matters for a regional bid. I guess we'll see.

[Inkblot]

St. Cloud State desperately needs to win their opening match. They've yet to show that they can beat any of the top four, which is why they're ranked 10th in the region.

[wscsuperfan]

Wayne State beats Concordia in five sets to win the NSIC regular season title outright.
