I think Joe is fighting an uphill battle at Stonybrook. With a growth of the game and the expansion of programs at BCS level schools, it’s becoming harder and harder for schools like Stonybrook to be national championship contenders. Of course, he wants to win a national championship, but they’re p...

I'd switch Thacker (1st Team) and Nalls (2nd Team). Both great defenders and players, but I think Nalls has a harder job within the UNC defense (than Sam does within Denver's), particularly this year. Completely agree. Thacker had an injury season ending after game 12. How can she be a first team a...

Every defender gets beat. Nalls is a great all around defender, but she’s nowhere near Emma trenchard or even Walker Welch in terms of pure man 2 man stopper. Doesn’t mean she’s not a starter anywhere!!

Once you introduce the polls or the eye test, you throw objectivity out the window. This is a lot of outrage over the last team included. And I think that much of it is because of Duke and the animus they face on this board. And Maryland may not be the 4th best team in the country right now, they a...

Duke getting in is a farce. They looked like a talented JV team last time out against BC. They need to get Loyola to OT in order to save face at all. If they get running clocked, the committee has explaining to do. This comes down to the committee bringing in personal relationships from outside. It...

As I have written, I disagree and thought Duke should have been included. Attributing “save missy” or “save Kirsten” to the motivation of the committee seems a bit petulant to me… Sorry. That came off badly. Should have said sour grapes. I get why people thibk navy deserved it based on h2h. But I p...

Does Navy taking Loyola to OT yesterday push them over the edge?? *Edited to add I didn't realize their best win was against #30... hmmm If it came down to navy versus duke, for a spot in the dance, I’d rather see navy. The amount of Duke hate on this board is pretty hilarious. None of these teams ...

Am I making this up, but didn't they make "flopping" a point of emphasis for the officials this year? If so, pretty sure I did not see it called once. Flopping and the constant grabbing of the head (when stick is below shoulder level for goodness sake...) drives me nuts too. Of course may...

Can I go chalk(?) for not looking at RPI , it is a primary criteria in the selection process. If the committee goes chalk on the RPI, the tournament would not be reflective of the best teams they could add. If they go by RPI, Brown makes the tournament. Browns big wins according to Jeremey are UMAS...

I don’t see how Loyola can possibly get a seed
They are 1-2 against top 10 rpi teams. Best win is hop at 8.
They also hold a win over Florida, but they are 17.

Their wins against top teams are meaningfully below notre dame and uva, whose rpis are stronger.

B lost to c. And c rpi is 30. So b worst loss is 30 and they have zero top 20 wins.
B isn’t making it.

Based on a comment above. I did this without teams RPI listed so that people didnt go chalk based on RPI. Pick 2 teams to enter the tournament! Team A: Record:10-5 SOS: 26 Worst Loss: #28 Best Win: #25 Notes: Lost to Team B by 1 Team B: Team Record: 10-4 SOS: 50 Worst Loss: #15 Notes: Beat Team A b...

HARVARD BEAT BROWN AND MADE THE IVY TOURNAMENT. Brown did not. This makes me think this Jeremy fellow has either inside information or doesn't look at head 2 head. I just don't get it. Someone explain it to me like I am 5. Like i have been saying, DUKE beat Harvard, but is first out as well. This i...

Super talented I will give you that…but she needs to cut down on her flopping. Sez you... And let me ask--would you say the same thing if she played for the team you root for? These are her numbers through 15 games so far this season: 58 goals, 25 assists, 24 for 40 on free position, 12 GB's, 8 CT'...
