Division 2 Scores courtesy of: http://www.d2football.com/index.php?fuseaction=home.notebooks&regionID=5

---SOUTHEAST REGION---
* Central Arkansas vs. Albany State
A touchdown and two-point conversion was the spread as Central Arkansas sent Albany State packing. Central Arkansas faces Presbyterian College next. (28-20; Central Arkansas -> Advances[/B])

* Valdosta State vs. Northern Alabama
Valdosta State are the defending Divsion 2 Champions, looking to get it done against Northern Alabama. However, we got a hellacious shocker here as Valdosta State fell to Northern Alabama. Northern Alabama has North Carolina Central next. (40-13; Northern Alabama -> Advances)


---SOUTHWEST REGION---
* Pittsburg State vs. Nebraska-Kearney
No, it's not a misspell. Pittsburg State is what the school is called as they met Nebraska-Kearney. This was not even close as UNK ran out of L-U-C-K. Pittsburg State meets West Texas A&M next. (49-2; Pittsburg State -> Advances)

* Angelo State vs. Northwestern Missouri
Angelo State met up against Northwestern Missouri, and didn't get much loving against NW Missouri. Dirty? Time to take a wash. Let's see if Washburn can wash away Northwestern Missouri. (45-14; Northwestern Missouri -> Advances)


---NORTHEASTERN REGION---
* West Chester vs. C.W. Post
This was a close fight all the way as West Chester got it done. C.W. Post didn't make it. West Chester may be in BIG trouble playing at Shepherd next. Shepherd is unbeaten, so a win against them is an upset. A BIG one. (24-20; West Chester -> Advances)

* East Stroudsburg vs. Southern Connecticut
Learn to multiply by 11, people. Eleven times 3 is 33, and that was Southern Connecticut's score. Eleven times 5 is 55, and that's what East Stroudsburg's score. Do the math, Einstein! East Stroudsburg has a hot date with Bloomsburg next on Bloomsburg soil. They are 11-0 with the First Round Bye. (55-33; East Stroudsburg -> Advances)


---NORTHWESTERN REGION---
* Minnesota-Duluth vs. North Dakota
The North Dakota Fighting Sioux put up a good fight and won the good fight to meet Grand Valley State of Michigan. North Dakota wins against Minnesota-Duluth. (23-13; North Dakota -> Advances)

* Saginaw Valley vs. Northwood
Hey JNasty, you ready for this one? Winner gets the 8-2 University of Nebraska-Omaha in the next round. So, let's do this. Saginaw Valley beat Northwood by almost half the score. Saginaw Valley gets to go to the University of Nebraska-Omaha to meet UNO. For you college basketball fans, this is the UNO Mavericks(?) of Nebraska, not the University of New Orleans Privateers. (31-16; Saginaw Valley -> Advances)


If I get any other scores from other playoffs, you'll see them here. Contribute at will.

Now, here are Division 3 notes from me to you. Enjoy.
