You wouldn't give the defending national champs an at-large bid if they were ranked 12?

What does Messiah have to do with this conversation?

Oops  meant defending national champ runner-ups

Calvin got a very good draw in being able to host. It looks possible to have an early rematch of last years semi-final game between DU and Calvin. If Calvin can get by that tough match, I think they could do very well and go deep into the tourney again this yr.

Not sure it will matter that Calvin got into the tournament - though I think they deserved it ... they only lost to one team this year (yes, 2X).  They are not looking like the same team I saw at the start of the year.  They've lost some aggressiveness and confidence.  They've had some key injuries too that are not helping.  I saw them finish the season against Trine and I saw them win at Wheaton and I saw a much different team against Trine.  Will be interesting to see if they get their confidence and momentum back in the tournament and make another run.  Doesn't help that they would have to play Dominican in the second round if they get that far.

They may get the first one done, but it will be tough against Dominican.  If Calvin can be "fast" and keep the offensive pressure on, then they should have a shot at it, but it won't be easy.

Calvin wins in a shoot out

I was listening via the web, and it sounded like Dominican had some dangerous chances in the overtime periods.  I also heard one good chance for Calvin in the second OT.

The ability to win the shoot-out is a key part of the game!
