NCAA South Atlantic Region

[PaulNewman]

Of course qualifications for NCAA bids is a different issue than low interest from that area on this website.  Any theories on why the ODAC group doesn't have more representation on this website?  How come we don't Roanoke and Lynchburg fans going at it like the St Olaf and Carleton crowd?

[NokeAlum15]

No clue about the lack of ODAC representation on this board.  I know that when the old d3soccer.net was up and running, there were a few more out there. 

In my eyes, Lynchburg isn't Roanoke's biggest rival.  I'd have to go with W&L or Va Wes if I had to choose.  But that might be that during my playing days at Roanoke (99-2002) Lynchburg was down right awful.  We were battling W&L and Va Wes for the ODAC.  In terms of OCC rivals, we had some great/nasty games vs G'Boro.  So much that we called off playing annually for a bit of time. Good times.

I remember Lynchburg in 2010 and was very impressed with their play. They battled back to defeat Bowdoin in the NCAA semi's in the 87th minute they tied the game and won it in OT. Obviously they should have won it all but we all know what happened. As far as Roanoke they must start scheduling a few challenging 2 or 3 top quality opponents to get Pool C recognition.

Noke up 4-1 with 10 to play

Lynchburg and VA Wes tied 2-2 with 10 to play

Roanoke wins easily over W&L 5-1 and Lynchburg wins over VA Wes in PKs

Roanoke will host Lynchburg on Saturday.  Time to be determined.

That second half went badly for my Generals. Good luck Roanoke in the finals. Play like you did in the second half and there is a good shot for some noise not just in the ODAC finals but the NCAA tournament.

Thanks.  Marc Dinkel took over this game in the 2nd half.  I'll be interested to see how Lynchburg decides to defend him.  He has the ability to takeover a game as he did last night.

I was impressed with the two ODAC finalists.  I would put Roanoke through even if they lost a tight game to Lynchburg.

South Atlantic   
1 Emory 13-3-1 13-3-1
2 Salisbury 11-1-5 12-1-5
3 Rutgers-Newark 15-4-0 15-4-0
4 Christopher Newport 14-3-4 14-3-4
5 Covenant 13-4-2 13-4-2
6 Centre 8-3-5 8-3-5
7 Montclair State 15-4-0 15-4-0

Wow.  Looks like MSU could be on the edge of missing out if they don't win the AQ.   Camden definitely in a must win spot.

I would say...

1. Emory.  Pool C
2. MSU.  AQ
3. CNU.  AQ
4. Salisbury.  Pool C
5. Covenant.  AQ
6. Rutgers Newark or Camden... Pool C
7. Roanoke or Lynchburg. Need AQ
8. SAA AQ making it only 8 teams to represent the South Atlantic. (5 AQ, 3 pool C)
