National Champions

Spring Arbor University
2018-2019 NAIA DII National Champs

While there are plenty of good NAIA DII leagues, I am not sure there is one better then the Crossroads League right now. The league has claimed four of the last six national championships, including last season, when Spring Arbor (MI) took home the DII Crown. Five teams from the league (Spring Arbor, Indiana Wesleyan, Marian, Mount Vernon Nazarene, and Bethel qualified for the NAIA DII tournament. Indiana Wesleyan, Spring Arbor, and Marian all made the Elite 8, while Marian and Spring Arbor would advance to the Fab Four, where Spring Arbor beat Marian on their way to the National Title. Spring Arbor shared the regular season Crossroads League crown with Indiana Wesleyan, while IWU won the conference championship.
