The storyline in the Kenyon pod could become especially intriguing if Kenyon and Hamilton meet on Sunday. Kenyon has not faced a NESCAC team since their 2022 loss to Williams in the Elite Eight, after which they took to Twitter to say, "playing for set pieces is not the Kenyon way". While Hamilton does not rely on set pieces to the same extent as Williams or Amherst, their familiarity with the physical, strategic NESCAC style could pose a significant challenge for the Owls. If Hamilton can get past Calvin in the first round, expect them to be a very tough second-round matchup for Kenyon if they bring the NESCAC style to Ohio.
