Union had 2 losses playing in what was the strongest league in the country last year and 1 loss in the regular season. They started 8 seniors. They were 14-1 at the end of the regular season with 3 top 10 wins (all on the road, including a 5 goal thumping of Tufts), 5 top 20 wins and the #5 SOS in the country. Their lone loss being a 1 goal game to undefeated defending national champion RIT. They were ranked in the top 5 nearly the entire year. Explain to me how Lynchburg, York, or W&L look anything like that?DeepPocket wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 9:28 amTo be fair he’s saying “make it to Memorial Day” as in, even be runner up, not just the winner. We needn’t look further than Union last year to see how ridiculous that is. Tell me who your favorites are, heck tell me who the favorites are. But to list 4-5 teams and say nobody else has a chance is right on par with the arrogance frequently displayed. Just plain silly, but I suppose he will stop watching then, because he called it.Dehuntshigwa’es wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 8:48 amYork is 5-4 best win being Ursinus #19 at the time and Denison just lost to Kenyon. Bottom line is there are a lot of teams who aren’t what I thought they’d be; W&L, Lynchburg, York have all played below my expectations were for the season. What do I say about Denison besting Gettysburg and then lose to Kenyon. I agree on this thread with the comment there are only 4-5 teams who can with the National title this year, Tufts, RIT, CNU, Salisbury, maybe Gettysburg due their DAbeFroeman wrote: ↑Sat Apr 01, 2023 9:51 pmHow is the York win diminishing in value.

They hosted a regional pod, got two games that were very winnable early. Then had York knock off their biggest obstacle before the final 4. These are just facts, not opinion.
