Amherst and Skidmore have suspended their spring sports as a result of the Coronavirus. Who else?

Skidmore just suspended all spring sports. No practices. No games.

Ithaca doesn't have to wait long before it's next shot at an upset - Tuesday 7 pm @ Tufts

And on Wednesday, RPI gets Williams and Union gets SJF.

Some really nice midweek OC games

Bowdoin and Wesleyan have cancelled spring break trips to Fla. Is Middlebury next?

Big week coming up. Ithaca gets Cabrini and Tufts. Either a signature win (or two) or a 1-4 start. RPI plays Babson and Williams, both of whom already played Union. Will be a good comparison to see where RPI and Union stack up. Clarkson's been putting up tons of goals. Get to see how real that is wi...

Union v Williams was a great game - five years in a row it was a one goal difference. Two very evenly matched teams with the only real advantage Williams had being at the faceoff x. Offense moved the ball well with 7 assists on 10 goals. And Union’s D might be stronger than last year. Looking like A...

Ithaca with a one goal loss at Geneseo, 11-12. Ithaca went 7 for 26 on faceoffs, yet still had a chance at the end. Now around 30% on the season at the X. If they don’t clean that up fast, it will be a tough go in conference play.

RIT, SLU and Union looking strong to start the season.

RIT, Union and SLU had strong debuts. Union seems to have answered their goalie question yesterday- 14 saves and 1 goal allowed. Ithaca bounced back against Lycoming. They had a terrible first quarter against SJF but have otherwise played well. Clarkson put up a ton of points. RPI squeaked past Scra...

Engineers squeaked one out vs Scranton. Don’t know much about the Royals but I’m thinking this was a surprise. The performance definitely mirrored the graduation losses from last year. Much of the offense returned and they looked balanced and played well off each other. Putnam and Colucci showed an...

RPI and RIT get it started next week. Predictions? I’m going:

1. RIT
2. Union
3. SLU
4. Ithaca
5. RPI
6. Vassar
7. Clarkson
8. Skidmore
9. Bard

Things I learned from reading the first page of this thread: 1. Athletic conferences are not about athletics. 2. Forfeiting half-a-season's worth of games is far less important than being on a train line to NYC. 3. We're all myopic idiots. It's a good thing it's not about athletics. Once again, Bar...

Barnable (M) and Hare (G) for RIT

Lowery (FO) for Vassar

Winters (D) for Union

Interesting to see the difference of opinion on the Liberty League teams between coaches poll and Inside Lacrosse. Both have RIT in top 5 and both have SLU around 18. RPI shows up at 20 for Inside Lacrosse but not in top 20 in coaches poll. Meanwhile, Union has the biggest spread. Number 11 in coach...

RIT, SLU, Union, RPI and Clarkson with selections. RIT (four players) and Union (one player) have team selections. Rest are HM

SOS uses a math formula based on team records vs opponents and their records vs their opponents etc.etc. By the way St John Fisher beat Gettysburg in their first round game. Then lost to Williams by one or two goals. Preseason ranking can have an effect at margins - SLU not making it in because mos...
