MACHA Gold Playoffs this Friday

2012-02-15

The Redbirds are set to appear in their 5th consecutive MACHA Gold Playoff Tournament. This time, they are set to do some damage. COME OUT AND SUPPORT YOUR ISU REDBIRDS!

The Redbirds have clinched their fifth consecutive playoff berth in the MACHA Gold Division with a record of 9-6-1.

The Redbirds had a good run through MACHA this season. They split the two game series with; Loyola, NIU, SIUe, Iowa and Missouri State. They swept Kansas and Saint Louis University. The sour taste of two losses at Mizzou remains in the psyche of the Redbirds.
