We'll certainly know more after this weekend of league play... Midd has a conference double header weekend and an undefeated tilt (although it may not be that way on Sunday) against Wesleyan.

Also, an all home match weekend against easily their toughest opponent so far in Midd and another slippery match against Bates the day before will show how accurately the 4-0-1 record reflects Wesleyan's level.

Nevertheless, after what I've seen so far here's my early season review for the 'Cac

Contenders
Tufts
Midd
Bowdoin
Amherst

Pretenders
Wesleyan
Williams
Conn
Bates

Not in the conversation
Hamilton
Trinity
Colby

I'm on the fence about Williams. Their win over Amherst, number of returners, and that I like what I've seen from Siebert as a coach the last few seasons makes me want to put them in the "Contenders" category. Although their loss to Hamilton, over reliance on Diffley, and the inconsistency in synchronization that comes with rotating players (especially in a high pressing system) makes them vulnerable and a "pretender" in my view.

Does anyone have any news related to pre-season scrimmages? Traditionally, most teams would have played a friendly match over the past few days in the lead up to matchday 1.

Hello all,

New user on the D3 Boards but not new to the platform or the league. I've enjoyed reading the commentary so much over the last few seasons that I'm finally deciding to join the conversation.
