Latest Poll Lynchburg #7 W&L#8… HSC I think could be a top 20 team. Noke didn’t help themselves losing to Swarthmore, I was surprised by that score. W&L takes on what I think will be the number 1 team when they meet 3/22 CNU. Unlike last year where the Generals made 21 saves but also had 27...

A lot of big OCC games this weekend

LYN vs Cabrini
HSC vs Denison
Roanoke vs Dickinson

We have seen what W&L can do now it's a test for thee rest of the big four. any predictions?

Ranks feel fair. I think Noke or HS-C could have taken the third spot but, Noke beat them last year so they take it I guess. But, I still am not buying into W&L. I feel that they were a decent team carried by a great goalie and now he is gone. HS-C if they figure out the face-off can make some n...

Does anyone know why some teams like HSC play avert, Randolph, and Ferrum while others only play one or two, for example, LYN or W&L. Is this a choice or required? Yes its nice to have some games like those for young guys but if I were one of the top four ODAC's fighting for NCAA bids I'd much r...

HSC roster is up with 6 freshman, competing with Averett for fewest freshman. I see Will Perry is back for a fifth year who graduated 2016 from North Cross School. What G program does HSC participate in 6 is very low. Last fall, HSC Instagram introduced 13 new freshman. I find it hard to believe a ...

Agree so far but, feel like we are leaving out one ODAC defenseman, Morgan HSC. IMO one of the top poles in D3 currently and from what I have heard is looking at the D1 level for 5th year (as many names mentioned are or have). Been all-American every year since the shorted covid season and if ODAC h...

Work with a couple of guys who played at Cortland and they know im a big ODAC guy. Said HSC vs Cortland was a great game. Refs let them play and HSC came out on top. Seems like the Tigers may have something cooking down in Farmville. My goodness I can't wait for the season

Anyone have a idea of who is coming back for the fifth year or if there are any transfers coming in

I heard Rutgers made some plays for union (d3 national runner up) on the defensive side and they turned it down, think they were already fifth years and wanted to get in the real world. I think if they get a couple more play makers and grit guys they could make even more noise in '23

Face-off wins championships in todays game, so pivotal and the traditional FOGO is becoming more and more athletic-- look how UVA "struggled" in games without LaSalle even though they have a championship caliber team

Avertt in the ODAC now?

HSC with new ac hire

Surprised they didn't give Marcille a look, gave them good minutes in 2021 when give the reigns If I'm not mistaken, I think Marcille took the shelling after they pulled Kirson in the first MD game. I took that to mean he was the #2 at least at that point. Seemed like Versfeld was the #2 at the beg...

Being that Im HSC fan I'd like to hope that CNU is down next year but, don't think that's the case. Coach is great and draws in good transfers (Cook, Young) I expect he has some guys up his sleeve to reload next year

There isn't much sense in picking up a goalie just to have one in the class. That late in the game there likely isn't a 5 star goalie recruit just lingering around that everyone else overlooked. If you don't think there is anyone better than what you already have on the roster why bother, the goali...

Any mount fans out there how do we feel right now. Injury bug hit team hard last year and they have had success keeping guys to 5th with Giblin back next year they may be able to make some conference noise and even pull out some upsets

Agreed, top four teams for a long time. I will say it is definitely a good thing for the conference to have teams like RMC starting to be more competitive

If I was a betting man I think CNU takes it this year. The SU win locked this in for me. They dominate in every aspect. Wayne shuts down anyone he covers and the rest of their d is not far behind. Offense is outstanding. They ride hard and dominate ground balls and are one of the best coached teams ...

with the season coming to a close what are the playoff seeding predictions. Think W&L and LYN are locked in for 1 and 2, NOKE takes three, seems RMC will take the 4 and then HSC at 5 and the Bridgewater and Shenndoah take 6 and 7. Seems to be the only way it plays out what do others think? I be...

Think overall the difference is speed, great talent in D3 but the speed of the game is a lot faster in D1. It's not to say that the top players can't play at that speed, have seen it with Rodgers at HPU (grad year after LYN), Gallagher at OSU this year (also from LYN), and Waldbaum at Jville (tufts)...
