Wow....DelVal is kicking themselves bigtime right now.  Tough road.  Congrats to Montclair.  I thought they were deserving given the H2H.

Maybe they didn't file the paperwork?  I'm not sure about that one.

Good Luck C-State.  Keep it going.

Had a feeling Rowan was going to be left out. Don't know why, but I just did.

UW-Whitewater is a 2 seed, which also surprised me.  There are a lot of surprises in this bracket and its setup.

I am delighted AU got a home game, but what gives?  Any ideas?

Now the AU athletics website says we are travelling to Maritime.  Did they get it wrong?

SUNY-Maritime and Cal Lutheran are unable to host due to facilities.  The Manual also states that a team cannot just move to a nearby facility since it didn't play half or more of their games in that facility.  Thus, AU will be hosting, as will Linfield in Round 1.

Thanks Frank!!  Now if the AU website would get its @*@* together, cripes.

Pep is ECSTATIC that #6 Alfred will HOST #3 SUNY-Maritime!!!

Pep was at the Holmes Auditorium with the team and coaching staff when the bracket was revealed. Everyone was so delighted in the draw that no one noticed that Alfred was listed as the host team.

Coach Murray already gave instructions to the players to prepare for leaving Alfred early Friday.... he will need to nix those plans. AU is staying HOME!!

Me too, Pep.  But our website has it all screwed up, they have us on the road!!

Moretti is confirming with the NCAA. If AU is to host, there is a LOT of work to do. Moretti mentioned at the Selection Sunday event that SUNY Maritime would have trouble hosting it...there is so much paperwork, behind the scenes work that he wondered whether they could handle it.

Thanks Pep.  The Maritime website indicates they are coming to Alfred.  Keep us posted if you hear anything.

On Saxon Warriors!!

Pep is certain that the SID would post on the website only what he was told. Pep just heard from Secky that Coach Puccio told him he is "99% sure" that AU will host.
