Two thoughts.. (not that I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night or anything)
Summit League sponsors S & D, softball and soccer
the WIH season will likely be finished as this date hits (and it sounds like the coach's contract is expiring as well)
Don't know if there is a connection or if there is a coincidence
on the other hand, if there is any basis to the UND to B1G hockey conference rumor and the possibility of a Women's B1G hockey, WIH might be both safe and a key to the invitation.
