Re: NESCAC
#11 Williams beat #9 St Lawrence 6-3 with starters and 9-4 overall yesterday. Feels like the depth of the NESCAC is under represented in the polls due to the terrible decisions made by their administrations 14 months ago.
Expect to see Middlebury, Wesleyan and Williams rise in the rankings over the season. (Until they beat each other up).

Re: NESCAC
Midd largely handled Trinity the okay. Lead at half, pulled seniors and then increased the lead through the me of 3. They played a 5th quarter. Not sure how good they’ll be.Bystanders wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 11:11 am #11 Williams beat #9 St Lawrence 6-3 with starters and 9-4 overall yesterday.

I think a fairly skewed interpretation of what happened there... but all good.

Re: NESCAC
@nehslaxfan and @UpperCorner - would either of you be willing to provide a clearer summary of that scrimmage? PM would be fine if you don't want to make it public.

Re: NESCAC
5-3 Trinity after 1; 9-7 Midd at half; 13-9 Midd after 3. They played 5 “quarters”. Final tally something like 18-14.smoova wrote: ↑Mon Feb 28, 2022 10:48 am@nehslaxfan and @UpperCorner - would either of you be willing to provide a clearer summary of that scrimmage?

Re: NESCAC
Predictions for Saturday's NESCAC matchups:
Colby @ Tufts: 22-10 Tufts. This score could most likely be whatever Tufts wants it to be. They are the early top team in the NESCAC this year. Colby does look better than most years but Tufts should get up early.
Williams @ Trinity: 13-7 Williams. This should be a good game, but Williams looks relatively deep this year and gains a lot of players who were not on campus last spring. Trinity is a wild card most years with such a large roster, but Williams should hold their ground.
Bates @ Wesleyan: 15-4 Wes. Bates looks down this year with their early loss to Babson. Wesleyan always has a good defense and brings some new players to the offense. They should be a team to keep an eye on this season.
Middlebury @ Bowdoin. 12-10 Midd. This is a game that will shed light on future matchups this year. Midd and Bowdoin did not have teams last year. But, given Midd's history, they should be a top 5 team in the NESCAC this year and should be able to take down Bowdoin given the talent on their roster.
Hamilton @ Amherst: 13-6 Amherst. Hamilton looks like they are having a down year, and Amherst's schemes are yet to be seen with their new coach. While they may have had a bumpy last couple years, Amherst has great talent on their roster and should handedly take down Hamilton.
Colby @ Tufts: 22-10 Tufts. This score could most likely be whatever Tufts wants it to be. They are the early top team in the NESCAC this year. Colby does look better than most years but Tufts should get up early.

Re: NESCAC
Agree mostly, I have been told that some of the people in and around the Wesleyan program don’t believe this years team is quite as strong as some of the more recent ones. Time will tell I guess.Shock the World wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 1:39 pm Predictions for Saturday's NESCAC matchups:

Re: NESCAC
Would love insight into the Bowdoin/Middlebury game...heard a lot of talk about Middlebury and their freshmen class etc....
Re: NESCAC
Bowdoin dominated at the FO dot (23 of 29) dominated the the gbs (36-13), out shot Midd 49-36 and still barely held on to win 13-12. Thought Bowdoin FY goalie played well especially in the 3rd quarter when the Polar Bears pushed a one goal lead to 13-9. Sloppy clearing and inability to handle the ball in the final 4:00 minutes allowed Midd a chance to tie it up late but Bowdoin FO guy came up bug with :28 seconds remaining. Strong outing for Midd #9 (5g), #29 (3g) and #13 (1,2). Strong effort by Polar Bears #2 at the dot, #16 at attack (3,2), #42 middie (3,1) and FY #1 (4g). 10 saves by FY goalie #49.Sidelinehorn! wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 6:25 pm Would love insight into the Bowdoin/Middlebury game...heard a lot of talk about Middlebury and their freshmen class etc....
