Attached are 5 2-1-2 set plays from Division III opponents that we played last season. All of the plays are from conference play. We, Colorado College, play in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC). The SCAC has 8 members. 6 of the member institutions are located in Texas, 1 in Colorado, and 1 in Louisiana. Colorado College is the only Division III school in the mountain time zone, so travelling far for conference play is normal for us. Current members of the SCAC include: Austin College, Centenary College, Colorado College, University of Dallas, Schreiner University, Southwestern University, Texas Lutheran University, and Trinity University.
