Wesleyan annihilated Roanoke today. Good win for comparing conferences but probably more of a reflection of how weak the ODAC is year after year. 73 goals by Wes in three games either means their offense is elite or they scheduled three cupcake games to get their mojo back. Unknown if the defense c...

Anyone see the Midd-Bowdoin game? What happened? Or after two straight losses we now know Midd is not an elite team? Bowdoin was dominant in all three phases. Physical defense, strong transition and controlling offense. Midd showed flashes at times, but Bowdoin controlled the pace of play and physi...

Maybe the Trinity and Conn dads will chill after yesterday being exactly how it's always been..... I saw parts of both games via stream, and honestly it was hard to tell if Tufts and Bowdoin are that dominant or if Conn and Trin just are not very good at all. It felt like the latter despite all the...

This looks pretty spot on. Though quite possible that those top 3 all tie with same regular season record of 1 loss in some combo to each other. The season is going to be intense and the tourney up for grabs.

What happened to Denison? Did they lose that much to graduation, such as the goalie?

Anyone have updates from today’s scrimmages?

https://media.tenor.com/tQu-LBctuDAAAAAM/community-donald-glover.gif Tuning in to the past ~20 pages of discourse. Middlebury has a scheduling crisis. Bates is 2 Duke players away from making a run. NJIT could join the NESCAC & immediately be in contention. And it turns out there is a huge WWF ...

First games predictions anyone? Bates vs Emerson Williams vs Babson Trinity vs Bowdoin Conn College vs Tufts Wesleyan vs Colby Hamilton vs Bates (3rd game) Amherst vs Middlebury Bates Babson Early season Trinity upset Jumbos Colby Hamilton Midd in OT Bates Babson (in a close one) Bowdoin Tufts Wesl...

…What exactly is it you want them to do or have Midd/NESCAC fans answer for? Again… this isn’t something I “want NESCAC fans to answer for.” It just stands out. Them and Bowdoin. But Bowdoin isn’t consistently touted as a top10 team the way Middlebury is. And no, I haven’t looked to see if there is...

Any thoughts on nescac scrimmages? Any interesting matchups?

As he continently ignores the Cleveland state and Wagner results. Checks 2023 results….. sees that Wagner and NJIT are very similar teams. I know nothing about Cleveland state, but I doubt they played starters deep, they open the season this Saturday, 2/3. York is a very good team, well coached. Wa...

Thoughts on which nescac school has the best incoming freshman class?

Ok. This argument surmised in one paragraph So someone hates the NESCAC, and points out the small OOC. Someone who loves the NESCAC retorts that the small OOC is conference mandated, and a high percentage of that small OOC are ranked opponents. NESCAC hater then responds by pointing out that the ra...

Bowdoin returns a loaded roster....I think they end up right in the mix with Tufts... I understand Bowdoin returns a lot from their roster last year, but they were a 5 loss team whose best win was against a mediocre Wesleyan team. They have the pieces but will have to see some better wins before I ...

This league (more than any other) plays out based on who you play, when... and where that game is... 1 - Midd (Hosting Amherst early & Tufts late is a good scenario for them) 2 - Tufts (CNU & RIT will have them ready for their late Midd - Amherst - Bowdoin stretch) 3 - Amherst (Momentum of ...

Williams and Midd look like ...

I'll weigh in on this preseason prognostication. First off, full disclosure, I do have a dog in the fight which makes me biased but also gives some intimate knowledge as well. In addition to losing all of the starting attack and starting FOGO, Tufts loses an AA SSDM and AA long pole. So, for starte...

Trying to start discussion... These are just my thoughts and not set in stone. With that being said here is how I would expect the NESCAC to look at the end of the spring. 1. Midd 2. Bowdoin 3. Tufts 4. Conn 5. Williams 6. Amherst 7. Trinity 8. Hamilton 9. Wesleyan 10. Colby 11. Bates Thoughts on t...

Solid commentary and list. Lynchburg gonna make some noise and Bowdoin prob learned their lesson last year and has a ton of older guys which will give them a real shot at final 4. 1.) Salisbury - the loss of Ferrera, Woodward, Ballard, and Timmons will hurt as they brought a lot of experience and to...
