And other than the Salisbury the same could be said for Reg 3.
Play is down there too for sure (especially my Captains). But I’m saying is that Region I isn’t the deepest, as someone had previously stated. Even their “Salisbury,” Tufts, is down. And that, two of their regionally ranked teams wouldn’t even make last on the list in RIII. As expected here, I caught pushback.SKUD wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 11:02 amAnd other than the Salisbury the same could be said for Reg 3.choochooCharlie wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 10:38 amAnd those “rankings” mean absolutely zilch. SOS and regionally ranked wins are what matters for NCAA regional rankings. Stevenson will be out today in region III, and York will be last in.Harlem-lax19 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 10:27 amWell Babson is ranked 11 in the USILA poll, and Endicott is ranked 17.choochooCharlie wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 8:56 am Neither Endicott nor Babson would be ranked in region III
In region 3 there Babson is ranked higher than Stevens (14), Gettysburg (20) and Stevenson (Unranked), and Endicott is ranked higher than Gettysburg (20) and Stevenson (Unranked). So something tells me that both Endicott and Babson would be ranked in Region 3.
Endicott’s SOS is trash, and they have 1 regionally ranked win. No shot.
Babson’s SOS is better than Endicott’s, but pales in comparison to York’s. With 2 regionally ranked wins, same as York, who is to be last in in region III rankings. More of a shot than Endicott, probably would get a side by side look vs York for that last spot, but me thinks no. SOS not close.
Region I has parity, even beyond the NESCAC, that it hasn’t seen in some time. But the overall level of play, and just where that parity lies, isn’t where it has been for some time either.
It’s just a current resume comparison, that’s all. Absolutely looking forward to some more crossover action. This has been a pretty good year for that too.
Laxguy3, cannot disagree with you, I was down at the other end of the field but, several people told me they thought it went in as well. If Amherst wins that game, I agree with you, I think that punches their ticket. That said, as impressive a résumé as they have they are not guaranteed a bid yet… a lot of fun lax left before selection Sunday!Laxguy3 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 10:20 am Moving off the Coach Gameday J's conversation... The Amherst Tufts game this weekend ended in a 14-13 win for tufts after #8 for Amherst seemingly hit a pipe on what would have been a game-tying goal with 20ish seconds left.
However, if you go to the Tufts highlight video (minute mark 3:16) (https://youtu.be/dtWPHE3A5hM?si=92dkGn6rVxcNUP01) it appears that the shot actually went in. The ball clearly does not hit the vertical pipe. Not blaming the refs on this one because it can be extremely difficult to tell but what a brutal break for the Jeffs. A win would likely have secured them for an NCAA tourney bid.

You’re saying this with such certainty, hoping others don’t know where to find it (who knows, maybe you actually believe it). But, you. are. still. wrong.
Lol. Let this be a lesson in don’t trust everything someone writes on the internet then.
York’s resume is a worse version of Bowdoin’s from last season, didn’t realize the comp until I was looking things up for the previous post. I think Babson would absolutely be in over them (and might be a Pool C team regardless). Again…previous post - measurables are better in every way, even if the gap isn’t huge, but they would have to sweat every CCG and hope for minimal/no bid stealers. York is a good team that just didn’t do enough at the top of its schedule. Even one win in their top five losses would have made them a great Pool C team.
Looks pretty clearly on the pipe to me. I can also tell you from experience, the ball doesn't bounce that way if it hits anything other than a post.Laxguy3 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 10:20 am Moving off the Coach Gameday J's conversation...

A. The SOS, a primary regional ranking measurable, is far better for York. (Using the SOS as the NCAA defines it, not as Ah23 does, where only wins are tabulated)ah23 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 4:05 pmYork’s resume is a worse version of Bowdoin’s from last season, didn’t realize the comp until I was looking things up for the previous post.
