* - Top Eight Teams Go To the Play-Offs.

First of all, Lax1 beat HipandKnee. Not small. That said... Last Regular season game of 2023 is this coming Week, Week Eight.
Bold is in. That's 6 teams. Room for 2 more.
If two (or three) of Cal, Farfrom, and/or NJ lose, the current 3-4 teams (FCA, OCanada, NC Lax, Lax1, and Genghis), if they win, could slip into the play-offs.
The teams in italics are done.

Did not see Matt or FCA failing to qualify for the playoffs pre season and now it might be both!

Surely PA talk could fail to qualify if the 3 teams on 4 and 3 all win and set higher overall score than him? In theory same could apply to me but they aren’t all getting to over 100!

True. Unlikely but true.
I deserve not to qualify. I'd like to see FCA squeak in.

Is Campbell really a middle? I've read some posts that say he plays every offensive possession. He certainly scores like an attack.

Based on his team scoring (111 points) FCA deserves a spot in the playoffs, despite his truly terrible draft.

If he finishes 3-5, OMG

been a middie since i've coached him in high school!

As far as we're concerned, yes. He's listed as an M both on the roster and, more importantly, on the box scores: https://villanova.com/sports/mens-lacro ... core/15091.

Last year he played a lot of attack but this year Nova have more component other players so he plays most possession but from midfield.. the article you saw, I also saw but was referring a lot to last years exploits

[PATalk]

I'd bring them forward if I knew how.

In the draft thread a few of us made some post draft predictions on the playoffs. I wonder how they look now?

[OCanada]

It may be time to revisit position listing as determinative. For most players it seems to work but if there are outliers there does not seem to be a good mechanism for coping.

[Matnum PI]

Did not see Matt or FCA failing to qualify for the playoffs...

You can't point a finger at 1-2 players but... Injuries to Maryland keeper Logan McNaney and Cornell's Michael Long did not help me...

Agree with everyone and can take my lumps when they are deserved.....and oh are they are deserved this season!!! The pressure of being successful year after year may have finally caused too much panic and anxiety for my guys to overcome this season. If we don't make playoffs it will go down as they BIGGEST OVERHYPED DISSAPOINTMENT this league has ever faced EVER.

My attack has been abysmal!!! To watch these 3 guys and then Georgetown Defense come up short each week has been heartbreaking to say the least.

Jack Myers….from 39 points last season to 12
Alex Slusher…..from 29 points last season to 7
TJ Haley from 22 points last season to 10
***All 3 have gone to non-existent on their teams***

Georgetown D.....from +8 point to -9 (Painful to look at Villanova Def....undrafted with +10). I knew there would be a little drop off from last year, but not this.

Week by week, you just never know what is going to happen. Even with those 3 not showing up, I had an easy chance to be undefeated right now losing all 4 games by 1 goal each. If Georgetown Defense hadn't gone negative in those....we'd still be sitting pretty.

Week 1 (14 points....lose by 1)
Week 2 (19 points....lost by 1)
Week 3 (15 points-----WIN)
Week 4 (20 points.....WIN)
Week 5 (8 points......lose by 1)
Week 6 (21 points.....WIN)
Week 7 (14 points.....lose by 1)

Time for a zoom call tomorrow morning with the entire squad and give them one last rah rah speech for the week. Everyone better show up ready to compete, laser focused, and wearing the same colored team gloves (FCA of course) otherwise heads are gonna roll.

Let's go team.....still gotta chance to resurrect (Happy Easter) this season!!!

With NJ having to play Hip they are likely to lose.
Farfrom having to play Maddog they are likely to win.

The swing game is Cal vs Genghis, if Cal wins it closes out the final playoff spot.

The goal for Maddog should be to remain winless and lock up next year's #1 draft pick.
