College soccer's regular season is winding down across all divisions with the final week of the regular season taking place this week. Minnesota State ran away with the top spot in the NSIC for much of the season. But a massive unbeaten streak has put the Mary Marauders in contention for the regular season title and overall number one seed. Two matches on Thursday will decide the top spot in the playoffs, should the Mavericks win it is all theirs. But should Minnesota State lose or draw and Mary wins, the Marauders will have the regular season title.
