My Conference Rankings after 2 weeks of play: 1 - Gettysburg 2 - Dickinson (strong argument for 1, but think I would take G'burg if they played today) 3- Swat 4 - Mules 5 - Haverford 6 - F&M 7 - Ursinus 8 - WAC 9 - McDaniel Looks like Haverford, Mules, F&M are going to battle it out for thos...

CC Rankings: 1-T Dickinson 1-T Gburg 2- SWAT 3 - F&M 4 - Mules 5 -T Ursinus 5 -T WAC 6- Haverford 7 - McDaniel The 4/5 Spots in the playoffs seem to be wide open, especially with McDaniel playing some better lacrosse recently. Mules are interesting, young group that has played a tough OOC schedu...

Great game in Allentown last night - both goalies played well but the F&M keeper made some great saves that in the end was the true difference in the game. Certainly a game of runs and quality defense and tough to see either team have to lose this one, but in the end the senior heavy Mules just ...

anyone have any insight into why HCs leave Haverford so frequently? seems like a rotating door there, so curious if its an administration issue. The team had a great finish to the year and has some promising talent + can recruit a relatively wide area due to the caliber of the academics.

Patience for the Shoremen is key! The Mules were the below the bottom of the conference a number of years ago, went winless for a number of consecutive years, but Plunkett was able to change the culture and recruit well and that has turned the team into a competitive one. It certainly didnt happen o...

Looking like the battle is now for the 5th seed - Dickinson is #1 if they take care of business at Ursinus Swat is 2 G'Burg 3 Mules 4 F&M has the easiest path to the 5th seed w/their game against McDaniel. Haverford would need to pull off a big upset to lock into that spot and need F&M to lo...

Mules v F&M is going to depend on goalie play and shooting for the Mules - in their 2+ goal losses (lost to RIT by 1 and G'burg by 2) the opposing goalies stood on their heads (RPI - 18 svs, 75% ; Swat -16 svs, 67%; Haverford - 26 svs, 84%). This is both a testament to some outstanding individua...

Oh what one day can change.... Mules pull another jekyll & hyde act on offense and score only 5 goals. Credit to Haverford's goalie on 22 saves... Red Devils are now looking to be THE team to beat in the conference with a 5 goal W at G'burg. F&M pulls a close one out against WAC and Swat got...

How many spots in the NCAA tournament does the centennial conference get? Think it can range anywhere from 2-3. Getting 4 would be a massive stretch and I don't see that happening even though Gburg, Swarthmore, Dickinson and Muhlenberg all have pretty impressive resumes. Biggest reason I don't see ...

Well Dickinson looks to be hitting its stride and the magical season for Swat was sidetracked over the weekend. Watched the Mules v G'burg and Muhlenberg looked all the parts legit contender in my view throughout the game. The D mids for muhlenberg played well and caused a couple turnovers on G'burg...

Great game played by Shoremen! certainly the future is bright as they have fought hard in every game (cortland may be the exception). Swat survived to stay perfect in conference, good teams just find a way to win sometimes. Mules offense finally showed up again and took it to a tough Ursinus team 18...

The NESCAC/Centennial idea was floated around a few years back, I want to say 2019/2020 with WAC being the host, similar to a Mustang Classic type of event. A shame it was never put into motion because that would be a great event. [/quote] This would great! F&M would be a great host with their s...

Lets pick some games. Its been a crazy conference season with each week seemingly having playoff implications -Dickinson vs McDaniel- The Red Devils offense can score in bunches but have been very "bipolar" to say the least.Poor shooting and lackluster thrown away passes are what dug them...

We are in for a fun few weeks, as the conference playoffs are pretty much wide open right now and all the games this weekend were competitive! Mules v Ursinus game on Wednesday is a very intriguing match-up with 2 teams that have been "underperforming" the past few games. Both teams can be...

My CC Rankings at the moment: 1. Gettysburg- No surprise, talent everywhere, great coaching 2. Swarthmore- Solid defense, incredible offense, a lot of youth, team is in a great spot for next few years 3. Dickinson- Talent everywhere, very solid goalie, interesting loss to Muhlenburg 4. Ursinus- Hav...

Predictable spreads for this weekend: Ursinus -4.5 / Haverford Muhlenberg -9.5/ Mcdaniel Gettysburg -1.5 / SWAT Dickinson -2.5 / WAC What's the thoughts? Where do I place my bets?? Think the Ursinus spread may be a little on the low side. Thinking closer to -7.5 and the Dickinson spread is more lik...

Can really see people's bias' in these polls. If you aren't a "blue blood" or NESCAC good luck getting in without a top 10 win. Swat deserves to be in most polls, now they will have to beat Gettysburg to get respect Lots of 4+ loss teams still highly ranked in the InsideLacrosse poll too:...

Absolutely, I'm referring to mistakes like bad passes. I'm done, but wouldn't bad passes mean you're less skilled? :lol: in other news: FanLax polsters not giving Swat the credit they deserve - maybe they are viewed as less "skilled" despite the W/L record and dominance of some quality te...

Washington College the better team in that game. Sloppy mistakes. Shoremen are definitely a big threat moving forward Not better in GB's Not better in FO's Not better in turnovers Not better in caused turnovers Not better in clears Not better in penalties Not better in EMO Not better in shots Not b...
