Hawks just barely beat the bad storms.

Looks like the tournament is set,

Hobart needs to beat UMass to bump HPU.

Someone want to give odds on Hobart beating UMass?? UMass' fogo slightly outplayed Zach Cole, who had his way with us last week. Their goalie is a legitimate AA candidate. And we can't play a 60 minute game. So????

Curious......If Hobart beats UMass and HPU loses to Saint Joseph's, wouldn't HPU get in on a head to head tie breaker with Hobart, who lost to HPU?

In this hypothetical UMass HP and Hobart would all be 2-3
UMass has head to head over HP, HP has it over Hobart and Hobart has it over UMass. No idea how they figure who is 3/4 seed

Thanks, Laxbuck.

Check the Hobart thread.

Hobart has been around forever..... they should get an automatic bid every year just out of respect for the program.

Conference tournament predictions?

Too close to call here.

St Joes scored 5 goals in a little over a minute and a half to take control of that game - they looked tournament ready.

But,
Richmond with 4 straight A-10 wins.

And,
UMass, the games against High Point, Richmond and St Joes have all been close games, and they have Matt Knote in goal.

Too close to call it in the A-10.

This A-10 game seems almost exactly like the last game,

8-5 St Joe’s now.

Like last game
a game of runs
12-9 Hawks

Again,
runs,
High Point just down 1 now.
4th quarter.

High Point up by one,
11 left.

High Point takes over,

up by two, 7 minutes left - outplaying the Hawks.

High Point took over, and make the A-10 finals,

great stretch run by the Hawks, the past two seasons,
but their season is over - and also, they’ll need to re-tool, they’re losing a lot of great players.

There have been some surprising results today.

I expected St Joseph's to win today and be in the running for a bid. A great season; sad to see it end.

That said, congrats to High Point.

FYI, St. Joes starting attack is back next year. There may be some unnamed addition to come for the '24 season. Though Zach Cole is probably on his way to the PLL.

Doran, Scott Macmillan, Dwyer, Tucker Brown, Burham on D,
that’s a lot of turnover, key players — in addition to one of their most important, Zach Cole.
They’ll need to retool.

Key losses for certain. Possible impact transfers coming to Hawk Hill in 2024 season. 2nd/3rd year guys waiting their turn are ready to step in.
