First look at Round 1 opponent Albion College


Here is a first look at the Albion College Britons – UW-Whitewater’s first round opponent in the 2011 NCAA Division III Football Playoffs

Albion College’s desire to gain sole possession of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association football championship was clearly evident from the opening kickoff of last Saturday’s regular season finale - as the Brits put the exclamation point on its 34th league title with a 41-14 victory over Trine University in front of a packed house at Sprankle-Sprandel Stadium.

“We talked about (the outright MIAA title) all week,” Albion Coach Craig Rundle admitted after the contest. “We didn’t want to share it with anyone. Trine has been a great team the last three years, winning the league and doing it outright themselves. We thought we could measure ourselves pretty well if we could do the same thing.”

The Brits 6 & 4 record includes a 6 & 0 mark in-conference. In non-conference action
Albion lost to Wheaton, DePauw, Butler and UW-Stevens Point. The Pointers defeated the Brits 14-3 in Albion, Michigan on September 24th.
