2023 Upcoming Best Games

Ultimately the biggest problem is creating 1 quad that is laughable is the biggest problem. The brackets are completely unbalanced. And getting at John fisher in this round is a gift

I hear a lot of complaining and whining. Not much else. To win they all have to be gone through. Might I direct you to the Hopkins and Cornell D1 men’s threads?

Five good games on Saturday. The most interesting are Wes/Tufts, GBurg/W&L, York/Gulls, Colby/TCNJ and SJF/Smith.

In a rematch of Nescac Semis I think Tufts pulls this out. Great coaching and use of players/adjustments for Tufts. They elevate their game in the playoffs.

GBurg wanting revenge for coughing up two goal lead and the ball with one minute left. Also, W&L not in a competitive game in two months. I see Bullets winning this one in a dogfight.

If the York team that beat W&L shows up York beats Salisbury. York has been inconsistent so this one is a toss-up.

Smith has one good win v Salisbury and SJF want revenge from a one goal loss to Smith. I think Smith pulls this one out but uses a lot of energy doing so.....faces an uphill battle with Tufts/Wes the next day and loses.

I also believe TCNJ beats Colby. This is the farthest TCNJ has traveled in years but will win this game.

Both F&M and Midd win their games to reach region finals.

Good luck to all teams that battle for final four!

Did the men’s have a bracket that was completely non competitive as compared to the other 3? Or was that limited to d3 womens lax?

Saturday I’m curious to see the PP/Kenyon game. My sense is PP will win but both teams are so untested.

Other picks are Midd, Colby, Wm Smith, F&M, Salisbury.

I think Gettysburg/W&L will be tight but I think W&L will pull it out. Tufts/Wes is a toss up for me.

Looking forward to the 2 upset teams squaring off tomorrow in Lexington (Gettysburg/York). Pick 'em.

From a seeding perspective, the underdogs won today

[laxfan22]

Sure but having watched all 4 this year, they are all very comparable teams.

[Dr. Tact]

Yeah, you are probably right. W&L definitely had the top ranking....Gettysburg crushed York in the regular season and only had losses by 2 or less. So, I would say the #2 beat #1 and #4 beat #3. We will see who comes out tomorrow. Not expecting that the winner tomorrow beats the top of the bracket (middlebury, tufts ,colby, william smith) but I could see Gettysburg or York beating the Pomona-Pitzer/F&M winner.

[laxfan22]

I don’t think they get middlebury/F&M bracket ti the final. But I see no reason why the winner can’t beat tufts who I suspect will have little issues with WS. To me it’s middlebury and then about 7-8 yeahs

[lax410]

Could definitely see a Midd/Tufts final again.

In Lexington, getting ready to watch Bullets and Spartans

Well, the William Smith - Tufts game was a laughable romp. Just directionally backwards…

Beautiful day until the game started I joke...Bullets came out hot and stomped the Spartans. Never in doubt. The takeaways were:

• *Team speed - Gettysburg was too fast for York
  *The Bullet's weave confused York - need a coaching solution for that
  *Gettysburg is coached to emphasize when they get contact - This led to 6 or 7 YC on York - leading to alot of goals on the unreleasables.
  * York was sloppy and not very good with contested ground balls, in contrast, Gettysburg won nearly every contested ball

Gettysburg played like they deserve to play next Monday. If they are consistently that good, they will make the assumed Middlebury championship close. I don't think they beat Middlebury, but they were definitely the best team of the weekend at W&L

So they are also going to moonwalk past WS as well like the winner of Tufts/Wesleyan was going to? I’ll tell my daughter we shouldn’t watch the WS/Gettysburg game weekend, thanks!

Is (bolded above) this a nice way to say they are coached to FLOP?

Sorry, no. I wasnt thinking....no offense. I thought they were playing F&M. That would be a moonwalk, IMO
