The winner of the game will then travel to square off against last season's national runner up, Cortland State, on Saturday. Mount Ida stands at 13-6 on the year and ended their NAC 2009 schedule with a record of 9-1.
The two teams have a pair of common opponents. The Mustangs defeated Babson 8-7, while the Pride defeated Babson twice, 22-6 in the regular season and 24-4 in the Pilgrim League Tournament semifinals. Springfield and Mount Ida both lost to Amherst during the season, with the Mustangs falling 17-5 and the Pride dropping a 5-6 decision to the Lord Jeffs.
