The 2014 A.C.C.-B1G Challenge has ended in victory. Victory! The final tally: B1G 8-6 A.C.C.

The A.C.C. dominated the first decade of the Challenge, but has not won since '08. The Big Ten won in three straight years, '09-'11; the Challenge ended in a tie each of the next two years, '12 & '13; &, as decided in last night's games, this year the Midwest prevailed. I root for all Big Ten clubs in the A.C.C.-B1G Challenge, but I won't pretend to be above reveling in the misfortune of the valiant Wolverines' in-conference rivals who failed to uphold the conference's honor.
