Liberty League 2024
Re: Liberty League 2024
LOVING the parity at the top of D-III this year, RPI is tough as hell. Thought RIT was going to cruise today, very happy to be wrong about that (and very happy that RPI and their broadcast team will hopefully be doing the hosting in the tournament).
Re: Liberty League 2024
Both the Union and RPI broadcast teams are exceptional, in both football and lacrosse.
Congrats to RPI. Would love to see them win it all this year.

Great game to watch, and I hope the rematch (between RPI and RIT) will be just as entertaining and close

Re: Liberty League 2024
Congrats to RPI, great game to watch, awesome to see new LL champ.
GL to all in selection show, RPI should of locked up hosting throughout, expect RIT, Tufts, Wes to host and SLU and Union to get in.

Re: Liberty League 2024
SLU with a tough draw having to play a red hot Wesleyan team in the second round. Should be a great game.

Re: Liberty League 2024
Not to mention SLU also is the higher seed in that pod but Wes is hosting due to either the NCAA not wanting to send those teams up to Canton or maybe SLU not being able to host this weekend. Is Clarkson graduation this weekend by any chance? That could be why SLU is not hosting. Regardless, should be a really good game on Sunday assuming the Saints take care of Plymouth St. on saturday.
Re: Liberty League 2024
Let’s hope that Wesleyan overlooks Fisher. They are playing pretty well right now. I don’t like Fisher but I really dislike Wesleyan.
Re: Liberty League 2024
A couple of fun storylines in what is otherwise an unnoteworthy SLU v Plymouth game:
Plymouth's leading scorer (#10 Crosby Fay) is a SLU transfer out of New Hampton. I don't believe he saw any action for SLU (was maybe only there for a fall), but still a cool thing for him to lead his new team against his old team.
Plymouth also has a former D1 Quarterback (#11 Alex Hawkom - QB at Central CT State) creating matchup problems from the midfield.
I don't think they have nearly enough to keep up with the Saints, but those are two guys who are certainly good enough to hang for a while.

Re: Liberty League 2024
Is Crosby Fay any relation to Charlie Fay? If Plymouth had Charlie, they would be in business. Likely looking at a very long day in this one though.VTLaxGuy wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 12:12 pm A couple of fun storylines in what is otherwise an unnoteworthy SLU v Plymouth game:

Honestly, would love to see RIT in final. Had to add to this trifecta post. Good luck to ALL LL teams.

Re: Liberty League 2024
Best of luck to all LL squads. Hoping for a SLU, RPI, RIT Final Four with a LL champion. Would be an awesome ending to a fantastic year for the league.
Re: Liberty League 2024
RPI passed their gut check with flying colors. So tough to beat a team like RIT twice in a season. When RIT tied it in the 4th I thought the momentum had shifted enough to carry them. And the response to that energy was championship level. Fun team to watch.
Re: Liberty League 2024
I like RIT’s chances to make the Final Four the best out of the LL teams. I haven’t followed Babson or Denison much this season, but I expect RIT will be able to take care of them. Their elite 8 matchup would most likely against CNU, who they lost to last year, that will be a great game but think they squeak by. SLU has a tough draw having to go through Wesleyan and Tufts. Bowdoin will be a tough matchup for RPI in the second round as well, although I expect them to win that one.

Re: Liberty League 2024
St. Lawrence has had a great season, but how in the world did this go to anyone other than the RPI staff? They massively outperformed big picture expectations and I thought they were great at making in-game adjustments/flipping games in their favor all season long. Make it make sense!billyosier wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 2:09 pm Coaching Staff of the Year: St. Lawrence University – Head

Re: Liberty League 2024
Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me either. Most likely has to do with them being picked 4th in the preseason rankings and ending up as co-regular season champs while RPI was picked 2nd and finished 1st. Definitely a big head-scratcher.ah23 wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 2:28 pmSt. Lawrence has had a great season, but how in the world did this go to anyone other than the RPI staff?
