If they play indoors I give the advantage to NU. That crazy glass on one side fieldhouse causes havoc amoungst players not used to it. Goalies hate it. If it is outdoors i think cuse wins.

All teams and players are doing what they think is best for them. If it is to put up ungodly numbers so be it. If it is to have serious goal differentials in wins to maintain rankings so be it. I don't agree with some of the motivations but then again I am not on the field and I am not coaching.

Drexel by 4

Drexel will be the number one team in Pennsylvania this year.

That is an awesome win for the Hokies ! Starting of the "post Sung" era in a top notch fashion !!

Their out of conference scheduling is flat out embarrassing. The fact that they get away with it in the polls is how dumb these polls actually are. All stats are not created equal, and in this case running up scores on Elon, Gardner Webb, W&M, wofford and east carolina is verging on fraud. And b...

I think the Big 10 could be a toss up this year. So many variables:

Northwestern without Scane
Maryland with all the transfers
Hopkins and Rutgers could be problematic for the above mentioned top 2.

Really looking forward to seeing these women compete again ! almost 2 years since they got to play last, should be an awesome feeling for these athletes to get back to what they love !

Penns out of conference schedule is BRUTAL for them. JHU,Loyola,Duke,Gtown,Maryland,Northwestern, and Drexel. It is going to be tough to win any of those games. Princetons is a bit easier but no cake walk UVA,Stonybrook,Loyola,Maryland and USC Dartmouth also tough Stonybrook, UMASS,Northwestern,Bost...

If you look at the 2019 preseason poll, only 5 teams picked for the Top Ten finished in the Top Ten. 2 teams ranked in Top Ten pre-season did not even finish the year in the Top 25. So yeah, pre season polls and honors are a complete waste of time. It is only used to scratch the itch we all feel wai...

I think it will be a tough season across the board for the Ivy League. Penn lost a lot of their best payers on both sides of the ball and have a really tough schedule. Princeton has only one established offensive threat back in Sears, defensively they are going to be solid. Dartmouth could be the su...

I agree with the quality of the Stonybrook win, Maryland was a suspect 3-3 that year. Most everyone of note from the 2018 season has moved on. 38-12 since 2019 with majority of wins in a soft conference doubling up last year due to restrictions. Just havent seen any "Top 10" ranking produc...

Florida is a head scratcher for me. I cant recall a win against a top ten team in the last 4 years. I could be wrong but the only win of note could be against a Stonybrook team that was decent that year

A big question mark this year is going to be the Ivy Leagues return to play. Given the lay off that they have had roughly a season and 3/4 how do you see their chances this year to compete? Most squads have very little experience other than Princeton. How do you see it?
