Foresters Win the MCC
Huntington takes the MCC Title and the MCC Tournament.

HUNTINGTON CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS

The Foresters won the MCC Conference Title this year with a 14-2 record.  Only once in the previous 8 years
had a team gone through the Regular Season schedule with less than 3 losses; the 1999-00 Foresters managed to do it when the MCC had 8 teams (and a 14 game schedule).

While Huntington tied with IWU for the MCC Conference Title this year, the Foresters beat the Wildcats three times.  HU has won at least a piece of the Title 5 times in the last 9 years.
