In a Division II baseball league that had plenty of standouts a season ago, the games in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference are about to get even more competitive.

The regular season comes to a close across Division II football this week, and with a trio of conference showdowns on the GLIAC slate, there still is plenty to play for, and there is potential for a three-way tie atop the league, if games go a certain way.

Undefeated and a win away from the NCAA Tournament, Saginaw Valley State rolls into the 2022 GLIAC Championship looking to avoid upset against a hungry Davenport side.

As the GLIAC enters its final two weeks of the season, the conference title race remains very much in doubt, and depending on this week’s results, could set up either a winner-take-all showdown next week, or set the table for a three-way tie atop the league.

The 2021-2022 season was a somewhat down year by GLIAC basketball standards.

With three weeks left in the regular season, the race for the GLIAC title remains hotly contested, with a trio of teams still in the running.

While the top of the GLIAC has the usual suspects in Ferris State and Grand Valley State sporting unblemished records through five weeks, the lone other undefeated team in the league is not one many, if any, predicted when the season began.

As the season rolls along, the GLIAC could be setting itself up for a national 1 vs. 2 showdown.

Davenport sits alone atop the GLIAC after a 31-21 win over visiting Northern Michigan in Week 3 — of course, it was the only conference game thus far. The next conference matchup of the 2022 season headlines Week 4, Davenport returns to non-conference competition in one of the week's top out-of-league contests, and GLIAC counterparts Grand Valley and Wayne State meet in a unique non-conference date.

Every team in the GLIAC has at least one win through the season’s first two weeks after a collective 6-1 showing in Week 2.

GLIAC Players to Watch As college football becomes more of an offensive game at every level, the GLIAC is a something of a throwback coming into the 2022 season. A variety of the conference’s top returning players are on the defense.

The top of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference will likely come to a battle between two longtime powers and rivals, with defending Div. II national champion Ferris State and four-time national champion Grand Valley State tabbed as the league’s top teams by its coaches back during the offseason.
