Carroll WI's four-game series streak points toward a fifth over Millikin

Millikin still holds the long view of this series, up 5-4 in nine meetings since 2016, but the last four have all gone to Carroll WI, and Millikin hasn't beaten the Pioneers since November of 2022. That trend lines up with where both programs sit heading into this Illinois and Wisconsin conference game, one that counts fully in the standings.

Carroll WI arrives at 3-1, its best start through four games since 2023, and has been outscoring opponents comfortably during that run. Versus grades the Pioneers A- overall with a B+ defense and a B offense, and ranks them 52nd in Division III, though a strength of schedule rank of 102 tempers some of that shine.

Millikin is 2-2 but has been on the losing end of that scoring margin over its last four games, with both losses coming against teams with winning records. The Big Blue carry a B- overall grade built on a C- offense and a D+ defense, ranking 110th in Division III, though their power rating has climbed in each of the last three weeks.

Versus projects Carroll WI to win 37-15, giving the Pioneers a 90 percent chance to extend the series streak to five.
