Tufts - RIT should be a phenomenal game. RIT looked pretty dam dominant against a good Middlebury team. Tufts cannot have the lapse they had against Lynchburg yesterday (taking 3 penalties in the second quarter). Should be an epic game

I think Tufts played pretty poorly today and still had the game won 5 minutes in. At least 5 of the NESCAC teams gave them a much harder game than this. Same goes for York. Some of that can be attributed to familiarity but not all. Was a fairly ho hum day for Tufts, and they were still up 17 to 6, ...

Lynchburg just isn’t very good. That’s just it. They have very few top wins, they have lost to most of the good teams they played, have been blown out several times. I don’t know where the love for them always comes from. They had a very strong team in 2021, otherwise it has been years of losing so...

Lynchburg is getting crushed because of the weather. I think Tufts beat them by 15.

I Spoke too soon about blowout.

W&L getting smoked at the dot. Could we just try to tie him up and making it a 50/50 scrum. No adjustment at all. 5-3 Gulls 2min plus good timeout Generals. This is a game. Face offs hurting , Bou jumps I think he is 2-8 now. Extra poles ???? Do something different they won again or it’s over y...

Tufts over Lynchburg. Similar to the first game.
Salisbury over W&L by 7-8
CNU over Dickinson by 4-6

I am pretty certain if Tufts blows out Lynchburg - the Lynchburg fans will blame the weather since it is raining in Medford.

Indeed, anyone can lose. The Bowdoin game and the first Midd game were both 4 goal games that were very competitive throughout as well. FWIW the first Tufts-Middlebury game wasn’t competitive. Tufts committed 14 (!) penalties and was still up 6-1 after one, 11-4 at halftime, and 17-9 through three....

Tufts-Lynchburg- I am tempted to say all of the crowing of Tufts is premature, given how unstoppable they have looked in several of the past 7 years before, in fact, being stopped in the tourney. In 17 and 18 they lost to Wesleyan, who held them to 8 and 11 goals. Lost in 2019 to Amherst 13-11. We ...

Any insider info?

No but I would think that would be a good job and they have a decent program so would think that would be desirable place.

Haverford job should get filled fairly quickly.

Truly think the jumbos at the minimum walk into championship weekend no problem. Their style of play is hard to scout for opposing teams who have to focus on winning their Saturday game first. Expect their championship game to be lower scoring then many expect Tough to scout? Been done before. Two ...

Not sure if people are aware that Tufts is 56 and 5 dating back to 2017 at home and 28-1 going back to 2019. This team is arguably their most complete team in the D’anolfo Era. They will be tough to beat at home. While not impossible Lynchburg and RIT will have to play flawless lax because Tufts has...

I think RIT - Middlebury is by far the most intriguing game of the weekend. I don't see the underdogs in the other three games pulling it out. Might be close but CNU, Tufts, and Salisbury should win those games. Agreed and... Based on little to nothing, I'm curious to see what Dickinson might do. S...

Give me tufts - Salisbury championship. Talent vs coaching (obviously still have talent too) After seeing every team(except Middlebury) it is hard for me to imagine anything but a Tufts-Salisbury Finals. Also, RIT may be the only team on Saturday that would be on upset alert, but I do think that Mi...

Don’t think Amherst played their best game today. Thought it would have been closer. Anyone know what happened?

Wonder how Lynchburg is going to do against Tufts round 2? Any thoughts?

Not sure what Yorks strategy was today. They wasted a lot of possession because of shot clock. Consistently wasting time with on the fly substitution cost them a lot of time in the offense hence leading to multiple shot clock violation or getting terrible shots with no time left. If they were trying...

Middlebury is not a sham. Would love to see them take down the defending NC
