This has less to do with the new OC and more to do with a lack of effort on the recruiting trail over the last few years. The talent is just not there right now in Lancaster. Doesn't help when your two best freshmen leave after their first year - but that might be a sign of larger issues.

Well it might be another tough year in Owings Mills for my boys. Hearing they got beat in a scrimmage by St. Mary's yesterday. Might only be a scrimmage but I can remember the days of yesteryear when Stevenson was a Top 10 team year and year out. Sad alumnus over here At least you have the hope tha...

Do we really think Cortland is that much better of a job than Muhlenberg? Sure tuition is probably cheaper but Plunkett has done a phenomenal job at Muhlenberg. Better academics, quality facilities and a contender in one of the best conferences in D3. Also owns and operates a local club program that...

I'll also add this. Cost of living is clearly going up. Schools are struggling to fill beds/dorms and that doesn't help either. A lot of these smaller Division 3 programs are underfunded and under supported. Like mentioned above, these young HCs often have so much on their plate and are paid 1/4 or ...

Hearing rumors of Pilat to Immaculata.

Just to make one final point regarding the Salisbury/NCAA format discussion. I don't love the format but it is what it is and CNU benefitted from it in the first weekend getting a lay-up game and a few extra hours of rest, they did last year as well. Sure it might have played a factor but you can't ...

Any insider info?

Quick Weekend Day 1 Recap for the CC Dickinson is for real. I expect them to take care of business against Stevens tomorrow. This team is playing their best ball right now and is a legit Final 4 threat. McKee and Brandau's play will be the deciding factor if they get there. Gburg down 10-5 at half....

Salisbury 23-7 over Montclair
CNU 21-14 over Kean in a very competitive game.

Don't call a 7 goal game, a "very competitive game" ever again.

York would need some MAJOR help. Agree with what was said above, F&M winning would not benefit them. Sure they have beaten the Dips and that would improve their resume if F&M would get regionally ranked, but that would also give the 3 teams above them (Dickinson, Swarthmore and Gburg) anothe...

For anyone questioning RPI, they are ranked 2nd in their region and would be a shoe in if they made the Liberty Championship. I have a hard time buying their resume as a lock if Williams/Amherst are in the ‘need help’ group. If Williams or Amherst make the NESCAC championship they are also locks fo...

Fun exercise that should bring some clarity to the Pool C discussion: who are current locks to get a Pool C bid assuming these conference winners: NESCAC: Tufts Liberty: RIT Centennial: Dickinson All three of these teams if they lose would be locks to get a Pool C bid but as we have discussed these ...

Fun first round of the CLC playoffs. Those bottom 4 are so close that the opening round is going to be a ton of fun in the upcoming years. Seminfinals will be a bit of a snooze as CNU and Salisbury will cruise and then we will get a good rematch in the championship match. Feels very MAC Commonwealth...

Tough to say so early who some top candidates would be. Would have to think either D1 assistant or mid-level D3 head coaches would be prime candidates.

2 bids max Man, the York fans are giving themselves a bad reputation this year. :?: I can’t weigh in and make a prediction if it isn’t just like yours? Super soft of you. My bad. G’burg peaked early. Dickinson has been grumbled about for a few years now and just never hits a consistent stride. Swar...

Looking at regional rankings Bowdoin SS is only .573, one of the lowest in the NASCAC. Also based on where they are in regional rankings today, they would need region 1 to get 4 pool C bids, because they sit behind Tuffs (AQ) Middlebury, Williams and Amherst. No hate for them but their season is ov...

I think it's unrealistic to ask Stevie to add more teams to the Classic when they have 10 teams already. Pretty absurd at how fluid the event is when you consider the manpower it must take to put that on. I also don't think it's too much to ask some of these NESCAC teams to schedule some tougher gam...
