From Twitter, both DJ Dixon of Wes and Will Byrne of Bowdoin going to Michigan next year. Exciting news for the Nescac. Both have D1 size and skills so hoping they make an impact. Congrats to them.

Funny to think about a road that was too tough for Salisbury/Wesleyan/St. Lawrence being viewed as an easy run, but it definitely was. Only team I’d push back on is W&L: no one lucks into outplaying Salisbury on their own field the way they did. Tufts‘ first three games though…complete cakewalk...

Anyone see both Midd-Bowdoin games? What changed that Bowdoin had so much trouble second time around? Also doesn’t seem like Bowdoin has ever been to a final 4 in school history, so even more on line for them. But a 8 hour bus ride from Maine is brutal. Let’s just hope Tufts gets by Salisbury and i...

Also doesn’t seem like Bowdoin has ever been to a final 4 in school history, so even more on line for them. 2022 was just their third NCAA bid ever and first time making it past the Second Round; their only NCAA wins before then were two First Round wins over Mt. Ida. Now they've making their secon...

Long time 'Cac fan, first time poster here. Well, well, well... Everyone thought it was a down year for the NESCAC teams, but we have 3 have teams in the Elite 8. Weslyan unfortunately didn't show up vs. SJF and I had them continuing and beating St. Lawrence, making the Elite 8. Tufts is hungry aft...

Only caught the last quarter of RPI/ Bowdoin game but I was really impressed with Bowdoin’s play. They showed both desire and execution. Wow great showing by the Nescac this weekend. I agree Bowdoin blasted RPI, what an effort. Midd clearly has worked out early season issues and that re-re-match is...

Who has the hardest pod & who has the easiest? I think if Salisbury weren't a big favorite over the majority of the field we would say they got a tough draw - - three combined losses between the Gulls, Endicott, and Swarthmore. Tufts/Union/Stevenson could all advance out of that pod and it woul...

12:00pm - Hamilton vs. Wesleyan (-5.5)

3:00pm - Middlebury vs. Bowdoin (-2.5)

Thoughts?

Hamilton wins in OT
Bowdoin wins a one goal game

Hamilton wins in OT on Sunday. Team of destiny

Tufts, Wes, Bowdoin all join Hamilton in the NCAA tournament

I’ve always had a hard time taking any “_____ is on the hot seat!!” comments seriously. Where is the evidence that any of these schools will fire a coach for performance reasons, let alone schools with successful programs? This isn’t the NFL. Maybe the real question is could/would any current NESCA...

The Cardiac Cardinals survive a battle on the grass. The NESCAC runs through a grass field in the middle of Connecticut. Tufts can’t get it done at home, and the NESCAC is open for the first time this decade Bowdoin rolls the purple cows A lot of tee times are being booked across the northeast Anyo...

Regional rankings updated. And they now appear to be in ranking order, and not alphabetical. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/lacrosse-men/d3/regional-rankings interesting. with this new info, it starts to give an idea of who could be getting at large. looks like wins is more important than losses. as...

Good for Bowdoin - what a turnaround since the Endicott / Babson losses. Those two must be feeling good that if they don't lock up the AQ, they're in a good spot on 5/5. Bowdoin ending with Wesleyan / Tufts is unique given the scenarios for #1 seed Bowdoin wins both - Undefeated Regular Season &...

Trinity will not receive any votes because they're considered a second-tier team. Their recent losses to Williams, Tufts, and Bowdoin were decisive, and they also fell to Skidmore. Their overtime win over Wesleyan, Clarke, West Conn, and Scranton is unlikely to boost their ranking and earn them any...

Bowdoin got man handled by the Babson defense. The Bowdoin defense actually played about as well as they could have with all the possessions Babson had. If it’s any consolation, Bowdoin had a brutal storm over the weekend and lost power and hadn’t practiced since last Friday. I’m thinking no field ...

2 ranked games tonight: Tufts v Union 6:00 http://tuftsjumbocast.com/ Babson v Bowdoin 7:00 https://babsonsportsnetwork.com/ I think Union's D is good but not good enough to stem the shooting chances from Tufts. Jumbos by 6. If Babson's middies can get to the middle to get shots then they are going...

Just some friendly banter here...because it does not happen too often here for the NESCAC people.... but man, Liberty League seems to be wearing "the heavy-weight belt" right now. I know it's early and it's the "last man standing," but not many OOC games left. You say maybe 2-3 ...

yup

Thank goodness for Amherst today. Anyone thinking only 2 or 3 bids for Nescac?

I didn't see the play, but if the shooter conitinued his momentum into the goal mouth, across the inner arc, then that would be a violation. Thought it looked like he was way outside of it when I was watching. Stream is archived so I can't check (Endicott password-protects all of their old streams,...

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...
