2 bid conference?

If RMC is able to continue these complete games, I would not want to be any team playing them in the ODAC tournament. They could roll in and get rolled like they did against WandL or smoke a team if they play like they did this saturday. Dark times in the conference.

RMC 13 Lynchburg 9 - I don't think anyone saw that one coming. Now the #1 seed is totally up for grabs.

Agree. RMC has been on the rise and this win should help JP on his recruiting trail. Good for ODAC
At 4-1 the 3rd string midfield was in leading me to believe they all made critical error underestimating RMC.
Maybe spring in Virginia, maybe they just hit the wall after brutal OOC or maybe.. there’s bad blood in the locker room (1 goal losses can do that..?)
I look forward to 4/29. Game at LYN but HSC has a very good defense and if they beat NOKE will be very up for this game..

I just saw that the ODAC tournament format is different this year. The semifinals are on Thursday May 4th at the home fields of the #1 and #2 seeds. Then the championship game is on Saturday at the highest remaining seed. I liked having the semifinals and final on the same weekend at one site.

I did not pick up on that. As a fan everything on 1 weekend was great. I have to admit, I prefer the new format. How many times did the 2 seed have a war on their hands and then turnaround and play the next day. This is much more equitable

Any predictions for today's Noke v. HSC matchup?
Should be a good one!

HSC, better team, Noke crumbles around this time of the year.

Hadn't looked at the score before saying this, 6-1 HSC, 10 min in.

The only team H-SC scored more on in the first quarter this year was Ferrum, which they scored 11 against.

9-2 H-SC after 15 minutes.

Wow - totally dominant first Q for the tigers. Out-hustling Noke all over the field. HSC has a tendency to let people back in lets see if Noke can crawl back or if this will be an absolute blowout.

And now HSC is getting away from good shot selection and adds their 5th man-down in the first 20ish minutes... this team is so hard to figure out.

Roanoke had some momentum going early in the 2nd quarter, yet find themselves down 16-6 at the half

At the half, H-SC 16 goals, Roanoke 16 shots

That's an impressive stat Scott. HSC just looks so much faster and aggressive on all sides of the ball. Next week at lynchburg will be a huge one.

This hsc defense has to be one of the best in the odac in a while. Nick Morgan POY

That's a hell of road win too.

HSC - LYN next weekend shaping up to be a good one… I got HSC winning by 1-2. Thoughts?

HSC offense has looked a lot better without #7 in the lineup. Their defense is one of the best in the country. My new favorites to win the ODAC.
