Would say RIT vs. Naz would be a good but … what’s going on at Naz for them to have dropped so off so drastically?

I think that the Stevenson v. Catholic game will be very interesting as both teams will be desperate for a win.

Definitely! I think Stevenson by a few, maybe 14-11.

The emergence of St. John Fisher and Naz has gotten very expensive. It has caused them to shift recruiting away from Western NY. They only have 4-5 Rochester kids on the team.

Upset alert: Cortland up 8-4 on St John Fisher headed into the 4th.

12-5 Cortland final. Nicely done.

This is not an upset if you recognized how much SJF lost after the '22 season.

They are currently ranked number 14/17 in the country. I don’t care if they lost their entire starting lineup last night. It’s an upset.

Interested to see if Union came out flat game 1. Endicott should be a good test for them.

Good overall game for Union from what I saw. Some kinks to work out still. Not sure if they’re a top 5 team right now but they have the pieces to be.

.

The Gettysburg v. W&L game has the makings of a classic.

Very difficult choice this week..Agree with the Gettysburg / W&L comment, but I am going to need to think about the other games for a while.

Salisbury v York will be great but I'm going with Tufts v Amherst. This game will reveal much about the NESCAC. I expect a high scoring very entertaining game.

I'm very interested to see how Williams stacks up against Union after their seemingly easy victory over a Trinity team that is in transition. If memory serves, this game is always pretty tightly contested.

Spot on. They've played thirteen times; nine of those games have been decided by one goal (along with one game by two goals and one game by three goals). It has always been a great series.

Babson runs away from Trinity 17-10 after Q1 hole. Nice bounce-back win after their loss to Union.

Trinity is a shell of a team - the NESCAC chat says the entire senior class quit - sounds like new coach and rebuilding time - and that will take years in that conference and given the success of so many teams these days... so I would say Babson should celebrate for a night, but don't put too much credit in that win.

The 2024 edition of this game will mark 100 years of consecutive annual meetings.

Salisbury and York will be a good game. It will come down to the FOGO - the freshmen vs the senior - a battle of Anne Arundel County kids
