The Northern Wisconsin Soccer League will crown its 2013 champions on Sunday and based on the results of the first nine matches of the league's playoffs, top-seeded Green Bay Team Miller and Eclipse FC surely must be the favorites.

Higher-seeded teams won all nine of the NWSL quarterfinals and semifinals last weekend, setting the stage for a pair of 1 vs. 2 matchups in Sunday's finals at Akzo Nobel Sports Complex in Howard. The Division II title game kicks off at 1 p.m., followed by the Division I match at 3 p.m.

To be fair, the season series between the finalists have been tight.

In Division I, Yale United (12-3-1) earned a 3-3 draw against Green Bay Team Miller (14-0-2) back on June 2 and dropped a 5-4 decision in the rematch Aug. 25. Yale United scored 11 goals in its two playoff games last weekend.

Team Green Bay Packaging (8-3-4), the No. 2 seed in Division II, handed top-seeded Eclipse FC (11-1-3) its lone loss of the regular season by a convincing 5-1 scoreline on Sept. 15. Eclipse FC won the first meeting between the teams 3-2 on June 23.
