Playoff Berth Decider Time in NCR D1

NCR D1 games are down to the wire now with conference champions and playoff spots being decided.

St. Bonaventure vs Walsh is the ARC decider and a rematch of a wild game where a cover defender bumping into the goalpost helped Walsh score the game-winner in a 20-14 nailbiter.

Bonnies failed to score as many as seven times when within five meters.
