Army 14-13 - I'm giving the home team the advantage here.

I'm going to go with Yale by 2. They've been playing well and it seems Army has been in a bit of a funk for the past few games.

Yale 4 Army 3 after 1st quarter

Army goes on a nice little run to close the half up 8-7 over Yale.

Yale wins 14-13 - great game. Yale goalie with a one-on-one stuff with under a minute to go.

Yale wins by 1. Entertaining game to watch. Two evenly matched teams. Army has to clean up their clearing game.

Loyola should look at Army and adjust their thinking about their biggest threat.

Did you mean the Yale goalie? That stuff was indeed as timely as could be.

What is wrong with this picture, Maquette, 11-1 not ranked in the IWlCA poll? Not even getting votes! What is wrong with the coaches or people voting? I don’t think they are a top 5 or top 10 team, but they have some nice wins. SMH

They don't appear to have any wins that move the needle, at least from a voter's perspective. And the media poll doesn't show who's receiving votes or not, so they might be.

Richmond v. JMU at 5:00, ESPN+.

Think that is pretty spot on, imo. They have beaten 5-7 Gtown and 5-8 OSU.............. Record wise their best win may be Cinci who sits at 9-4 I believe. Their wins, imo, stack pretty well against Dooks but they get the ACC bias bump.

I look at Marquette and Army in relation to the IL Poll and struggle to see the difference between the two.

Army: Best wins are a free falling Rutgers team and Jacksonville who is no longer in lead position of their league. Close calls against BU, Lehigh. Strength of schedule is 51 in the country.

Marquette- blown out by NW, win against Louisville, 1 goal win vs OSU (both at the bottom of their respective conferences). Best win is cinci. Close call with Niagara, UC Davis. Strength of Schedule is 55.

Not much of a difference between the two, but one is ranked 14 and the other isn’t even receiving votes.

Both are great stories but the next 4 games for both will be very interesting. Loyola game will tell us a lot about Army. Interested to see what Denver and Marquette game will bring to the table as well!

Loyola wins by 6-7. I think Loyola will win but Army will put up a fight. Denver wins by 8. Something like 15-7

Actually the real question is what the heck has happened to Ohio State over the past 5 years? I can recall them with a signature win against MD a few years back and program has gone downhill since.

Marquette is a nice team, but honestly they are in that #30 - #50 category.

Yes I did. Fixed it above

St. Joe’s has doubled up Princeton 12-6 at the end of the 1st half.

14-8 now in Q3, which makes MD's squeaker over Princeton even more interesting.
