2021 Tournament

[GrouchyOldLaxer]

Any thoughts on potential first round upsets or surprises?

Endicott over CNU or Catholic over Stevens are my sleeper picks

Catholic and Stevens is intriguing because both teams feasted on weak conferences all year. Stevens has demonstrated an ability to play at the highest level, but only for short periods of time (aka a 5-1 lead over Stevenson in the 1st quarter before getting thumped), but they were vulnerable in non-conference games. While they beat Eastern, they did use a dominant 1st quarter to compensate for a 12-5 deficit in the second half and their win over Widener did not come easy.

Tough to tell how these teams match up. I suspect, in the end, either one will be dispatched by Lynchburg without too much trouble.

With the new guideline from the CDC do we think the host schools will open up the stadiums for more the 80 fans per team? Looking at Lynchburg site, I don’t think they have restrictions and you can buy tickets for $10.

Stevenson doesn’t have anything posted on website about attendance but I was told no general admission and only 80 fans per team. Which is pretty screwed up seeing how the stadium holds 3500 and at 50% capacity would still allow 1750 fans.

Anything from other sites?

I love the consistency

Cant wait for Catholic to take advantage of the Ducks and dispose of them

No changes at SJF - email emphatically says, All spectators must practice proper social distancing and are required to wear a mask at all times.
St. John Fisher College reserves the right to remove anyone who does not comply with these health and safety protocols.

The tone doesn't make me feel welcome.

Rooting for Stevens, but hardly confident in the outcome today.

Babson is an interesting team. They beat up on Springfield and Coast Guard both pretty good teams. If they get off the bus they could at least make it interesting. Tufts will still win.

Stevenson- Kean should be tighter than your score.

Cortland - Boston It will be interesting to see what Boston brings to the table.

Best game should be Catholic - Stevens Stevens should win.

SGenius, what's your IWU/Hope prediction?

I think it will be the closest game of today's matchups, and I won't be surprise to see Hope win. Short turnaround (and harder matchup) from yesterday's game will impact Hope more than IWU.

Has the makings to be the highest combined score of the day, at any level.

Elder and Radzville should combine for 15 points (I actually think that may be a little light).

Hope shouldn't get run off the field here. Comes down to face offs (Scheffler) and goalie play (Bosman) IMO.

Long way to go and I still expect them probably to win but so far Stevenson showing the wisdom of giving one of 2 at large spots for the entire country to a team that ended its year getting shutout.

Right, I expect Stevenson to win too but they are what you are seeing. How they ever beat Stevens and York I will never know.

A bag job for agreeing to host?

Ya think?

LYN 16-5 @ 1/2
Was 8-2 and Phieffer scores 2 then LYN ran it up.
Jared is smooth. Had a nice 1v1 goal against Galleger drive from left behind. Needs 2 more to tie record. May see it when Coach K swaps our starting D. Rooting for him!

[Goldenboy]

The Stevenson commentators may be the worst I’ve ever seen

[Nothinbutthelax]

Catholic defense has their hands full. Ryan Gephart (sp.) off to a hot start. Solid player!

[Nigel]

Babson gave it a go today but TOs killed them. Tufts was relentless on ride. 16-7.

SJF was rolling in Q1 - 6-1 - so I left. Won every FO i think. They should get at least 18, maybe 22.
