The South division of the Great Midwest Conference shook things up with Northern Iowa and Illinois State both winning semifinals Saturday.

That sets up a championship final November 6 in Cottage Grove, Wisc., while Wisconsin-Whitewater and Marquette will battle for this.

Illinois State bonced back from last week's loss to beat a tough Loyola side this week in Great Midwest Conference action.

Meanwhile, Marquette won their second in a row, taking down Northern Michigan 29-17.

Illinois State won two very tight games this weekend in a wild finish to take the Great Midwest Conference.

The semifinal-final weekend produced plenty of drama throughout.

Played in snow, which slowly melted and converted the fields to mud, the games were close all the way through.

It's early days in the Great Midwest Conference and everyone is still in it, mostly, but some teams have logged early results with noting.

Struggling right now is Northern Michigan, which had a tough opening two weeks against Minnesota Duluth and Marquette, both losses. There's time for NMU to rebound, however, and they are perfectly capable of it.

We're down to one more DII playoff spot to be decided.

Sunday, RPI hosts Sacred Heart in the Tri-State final.

Saturday, the play-ins were held, and the WIIL Conference came out of it pretty well.

#2 Illinois State edged the Midwest winner IUPUI 24-21. The WIIl #3, UW-Milwaukee, defeated Minnesota-Duluth 39-31 to halt Duluth's longtime run to the national final four.
