Season 2 of the Juniata Invitational is about to start.  We have the preseason number 1 team in Colorado, who look to begin their season with a bang against defending Juniata Invitational Champion, NYU coached by trentonjoe.  Juniata and Wartburg are both just on the outside of the top 25 and will face off @ Wartburg, with the winner getting the inside track to being ranked in the top 25.  In the third matchup, MIllsaps will travel to Pacific Lutheran to begin their season.  Pacific Lutheran will try and avenge their loss at Millsaps the previous season.

Predictions:

Colorado                        5-0
Juniata                            3-2
Wartburg                        3-2
NYU                                2-3
