Big games this week in Men's DII (19-24 March)

[RedFromMI]

Wednesday March 20

Adelphi (#1) hosting LIU Post (#5) --- Post already has the monster upset of the year over Mack - can they do it again?

Adelphi hangs on - but gave up a lot of penalties that Post made them pay for...Faceoff specialist for Post who was 33-36 against Mack near 50% in this one.

Friday March 22

Florida Southern (RV=receiving votes) hosting Belmont Abbey (#8) --- does FSC deserve a ranking?

The Abbey in a convincing win 14-9 off of a 4-0 second quarter. Liam Osborne with (7,1) for the Crusaders

Maryville (MO/#18) hosting Young Harris (RV) --- can YH get ranked just like Maryville (at _8-1_) just did?

Young Harris wins this one in OT 11-10 - handing the Saints their second loss on the year...

Saturday March 23

Merrimack (#6) hosting Le Moyne (#4) --- always a classic NE10 game, and the last time in regular season - and each team has an unexpected early loss
Huge fourth Q comeback for the Warriors
Mount Olive (#13) hosting Wingate (#15) --- a Conference Carolinas vs SAC showdown of near top teams from each conference
Another comeback on this Saturday for the Trojans
Lindenwood (#14) hosting Indianapolis (#9) --- Big GMAC contest
Indy controls this one

I don't see the Assumption/Mercy game on either of their schedules.

I'm interested to see how #8 Belmont Abbey does @ Lynn. Lynn is receiving votes. Game is scheduled for 6pm tonight

[HoundsDad]

#9 UIndy travels to #14 Lindenwood on Sat 23rd.

[RedFromMI]

Fixed it - the Assumption/Mercy game is on the NCAA website, but that is not always right in advance.

There is no Assumption / Mercy game. Was originally scheduled from the fall but Assumption didn't want to make the trip in the end.

Mercy plays Molloy this Saturday

Wednesday

SAC

LR at Queens (#10) - after taking it to Tusculum, is LR in the mix for the SAC? They have played a very tough schedule to this point.

Wingate (#15) at Catawba (RV) - should be a good one.

[Laxwarrior]

You forgot Emmanuel at Limestone! Do think Limestone will put 35 on them like Florida Southern? It’s a rhetorical question as I doubt Coach Clarke would ever do that. I’d say Stone scores no more than 23.

They did score 25 on Lees-McRae. BTW, I left them off the post because I didn't think it was a big game in the sense of national interest (unless of course a ginormous upset happens).

The real game tonight is the Panther-Pioneer one. Unfortunately for me, I cannot watch as I have an other commitment. But I'll make sure I have a tab open to the live stats for that one.

Queens beat Lenoir Rhyne 12-11 in OT. Queens score tying goal with 13 seconds remaining in game.

[RedFromMI]

Another SAC surprise as Catawba runs away at the end and beats Wingate 13-9. And the big one was not a disappointment - got to see the last couple of minutes as Adelphi withstands a late charge from Post to take it by one.

Oh and Stone only scored 19 against Emmanuel.

[MDLax30]

Strong performance by Catawba, led from the outset. Wingate tied it at 9-9 late in the 3rd qtr, but Catawba was never behind. Defense held Bulldogs scoreless in the 4th qtr and offense produced.

LR had 1 goal lead over Queens with less then 1:00 min in regulation and had possession. Queens scored with less then :20 on the clock to force overtime and then went on to win. Tough loss for LR, with them looking like they can play with some top ranked teams, despite record.

[RedFromMI]

Good win for the Abbey - 14-9 over FSC. Matchup of former teammates/coach (Chris Barrett's last year at Stone as student 2004, and then coached at Limestone 2005-2011 until taking the helm at Belmont Abbey, while Marty Ward played for the Saints 2004-2008).

Mount Olive (#13) hosting Wingate (#15) --- a Conference Carolinas vs SAC showdown of near top teams from each conference
Lindenwood (#14) hosting Indianapolis (#9) --- Big GMAC contest

UMO 11 vs Wingate 10 (OT) - Wingate totally dominated the game and were up 7-3 at the half. However, as the saying goes, you need to play a FULL 60 minutes. Simply, the Bulldogs lost this game in the final quarter and allowed UMO to score 6 unanswered goals including the GWG in OT. Character win for UMO coming from behind.

[RedFromMI]

Merrimack, trailing 10-5 early in the 4th quarter takes a 12-11 victory over Le Moyne at home. Bertrand was 7,1. What a comeback.
