At least I think it is - Dartmouth vs. Tufts. D1 vs D3, Ivy powerhouse vs. NESCAC powerhouse. I'm not sure this type of game has happened before? It looks to be Dartmouth's 1st & only game this year while the NESCAC is playing a shortened season with not all teams participating.
Glad to see it happen - games like this do in fact grow the game.

I'd put $ on Dartmouth, but I agree, great for the game.8meterPA wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 8:42 am At least I think it is - Dartmouth vs. Tufts. D1 vs D3, Ivy powerhouse vs. NESCAC powerhouse.

Re: REALLY interesting game today
Dartmouth should win, but Tufts is really good. I have no idea what Dartmouth's roster looks like - kids may be sitting out this year like Penn. But if they are near full roster, they should win this game. It would be great if there are annual Ivy vs. NESCAC gamesDr. Tact wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 8:56 amI'd put $ on Dartmouth, but I agree, great for the game.8meterPA wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 8:42 am At least I think it is - Dartmouth vs. Tufts.

ESPN+ at 11:00 AM.
Dartmouth shows 35 kids on the "2021 Roster," including 9 freshmen.

Nope; I am pretty sure we are in the clear on snow. Looks like the 50s today, with the possibility of a light rain.8meterPA wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:13 amis there still snow on the ground in Dartmouth?seacoaster wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:08 am ESPN+ at 11:00 AM.

Re: REALLY interesting game today
Danielle Spencer was stockpiling talent at Dartmouth. It will be interesting to see how some of these players look today.
The talent gap between top IVY league teams and NESCAC is pretty large. Much more speed in the IVYs and upper D1.

The younger Gilbert was committed to Dartmouth. She rerouted to Spencer's new gig.westcoastlax wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:32 am Danielle Spencer was stockpiling talent at Dartmouth. It will be interesting to see how some of these players look today.

Re: REALLY interesting game today
GREAT transition & ball movement by the ‘Bos. They have got a talented goalie and great D too
Re: REALLY interesting game today
Really nothing more than a fall ball exhibition/scrimmage...
Re: REALLY interesting game today
Oh sure--no doubt that's true. But as far as the standings and the Ivy League and this sad season of being barred from playing, it means nothing. Kind of sad.
Re: REALLY interesting game today
Yes, agree with that.
Tufts has nothing to lose by playing this game, they aren't supposed to win....nothing but upside.
Dartmouth has no upside, they are supposed to win...but if they lose, its a big deal.

Re: REALLY interesting game today
It is patently untrue that Danielle Spencer was ‘stockpiling’ talent at Dartmouth. Please name a name(s) The 2019, 2020 and 2021 classes were all Patton. The only underclass contributors in the 2019 and 2020 seasons were also recruited by Patton. Spencer was a bad match for Dartmouth and it was better for everyone that she moved on. Wish her well I her future endeavors.westcoastlax wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:32 am Danielle Spencer was stockpiling talent at Dartmouth.
