I've lost touch with details of matchups - How badly does Wash U's lost to Rochester hurt their chances of hosting a group of four?

With the first eight schools in last weeks poll coming from the "west", who will have to travel - how do we think these schools will get broken down to only 3 groupings? Do 3 wisconsin schools go to 3 different settings? Do all the West coast schools travel? Or is it just ridiculously too early to speculate?

The NCAC semifinals will feature Cinderella, Cinderemma, and Cindergeorge: #5 Kenyon, #6 Wabash, and #7 Allegheny all advanced, along with top seed and semifinal/final host Wooster. Kenyon's victory dropped Wittenberg to 13-13 on the year, snapping a 40-year streak of winning seasons by the Tigers. Witt's 53-year streak of non-losing seasons remains intact. Wooster's win (over Denison) brings their record to 20-6, extending their streak of 20-win seasons to 13.

Look! I found a picture of Cindergeorge!

We are getting very close...I can't wait for the brackets! 8)

Well the NCAC did its best OAC impression last night, with 3 of 4 lower seeds winning quarterfinal games (see David's post above).
Tonight the OAC did its best NCAC impression, as top seeds mostly held serve and the #5/#4 game was mostly a toss-up.

Final scores:

#8 Heidelberg 68, #1 John Carroll 78
#5 Muskingum 70, #4 Wilmington 69

#6 Marietta 52, #3 Ohio Northern 62
#7 Mount Union 56, #2 Capital 95

Pairings for the OAC Semifinals, to be held Friday at John Carroll's DeCarlo Varsity Center:

#3 Ohio Northern vs. #2 Capital, 6 p.m.
#5 Muskingum vs. #1 John Carroll, 8 p.m.

Both Capital and JCU swept their opponents during the regular season, though none of those games were blowouts.
JCU now has a 17-game winning streak and is unbeaten at home this year.

NEWMAC tourney will resume on Saturday with WPI hosting the semifinals and finals.

In the quarterfinals, #2 MIT beat #7 CGA, #6 Babson beat #3 Wheaton, and #4 Springfield beat #5 Clark tonight.

Lineup for Saturday is as follows (NEWMAC does not re-seed):

#6 Babson vs. #2 MIT
#4 Springfield vs. #1 WPI

This might have already been stated, but the NWC tourney starts up tomorrow with Linfield heading to Whitworth and Lewis & Clark coming to Puget Sound. Puget Sound is looking for its 19th straight win.

Speaking of Cindergeorges', I think this is tops so far, as the 8th, 7th, 5th, and 3rd seeds advanced in the SUNYAC tournament quarterfinals on Tuesday, #8 Brockport took down #1 Geneseo, #7 Cortland beat #2 Buffalo St. #3 Oswego held serve and beat #6 Potsdam while #4 Oneonta lost to #5 Fredonia. Semifinals tonight at highest remaining seed, #3 Oswego, who takes on #8 Brockport. Cortland vs Fredonia in 1st semifinal. If Brockport or Cortland get the AQ they would enter the NCAA's with a 14-14 record. Lots of parity in the conference this year as 4 teams finished tied for 1st with an 11-5 record.

Fortunately for Pool C hopefuls the upsets won't affect them as the SUNYAC was only going to get the AQ anyway.

Hugenerd · February 28, 2009, 08:55:57 PM

MIT plays Springfield tomorrow at WPI for the NEWMAC Pool A bid.
