WesCast says cancelled.  Why didn't they play on the turf field in the 2009 tournament games?

Players back on field warming up.
Re: turf field I'm not sure it was here in '09
Edit: '07? Not a Wesleyan guy so I have no idea.


And at 9:01pm they are off the field.
No idea.

[Off Pitch]

been there since 2007

[FourMoreYears]

9:16 trinity Wesleyan délayed another 30

[Mr.Right]

That will be cancelled if it is delayed one more time

[Mr.Right]

They will start from scratch most likely tmrw or Sunday because there is not another time to play it

[FourMoreYears]

It's official.
Trinity Wesleyan cancelled due to lightening will be replayed in its entirety.

[Mr.Right]

Do they know when it will be replayed?

Since your there maybe ask the ref

[Mr.Right]

These New England regional rankings seem more absurd than usual. How does Coast Guard jump Tufts and Amherst? Wins against WPI and Babson I guess is all they need. I suppose Amherst SOS is a little weaker with that weak out of conference and their record vs ranked opponents would be only 1-1-2. Tufts has a decent non-conference but their regional record is 2-1-2 compared to Coast Guard's 2-0-0. I guess this suggests it is best to schedule absolute weak non-conference games and somehow beat the only 2 or 3 ranked teams you play. This is what gets them in and hosting that is ridiculous.

[Mr.Right]

Even more absurd is Gordon. Complete cupcake non-conference schedule. One of the worst conferences in the nation. 3 losses to average teams and 0 wins against ranked teams. I knew Williams would get ranked mostly because of its 2-2-1 record vs ranked opponents but I really think Nichols got hosed, they beat Gordon and still didn't get ranked. Granted their schedule also sucks but hey if your going to rank Gordon why not Nichols as well.

NESCAC site says it's going to be replayed tomorrow night at 7

[Off Pitch]

Coast Guard also beat MIT.  Tufts did not.  Nichols has a lower winning % than Gordon against an even weaker schedule.

[Mr.Right]

who cares....that makes no difference as MIT is not ranked. Your case for Nicholls not being ranked is proving my point for Gordon not being ranked.

[Flying Weasel]

Record vs. ranked is being thrown about, but remember, that criteria isn't applicable in developing the first rankings of the year.  As such, that column in the regional data sheet is left blank the first week. 

(BTW, there must be a mix up, because the men's New England and South Atlantic data sheets weren't updated--it's still the data sheets from the last rankings of 2013.)

You say it makes no difference, yet Coast Guard IS ranked ahead of Tufts and Gordon IS ranked and Nichols is not.  So, clearly it does make a difference.

Winning % matters. SOS matters.  Result vs common opponents matters.  These are all criteria that are supposed to be considered.

Gordon is ranked instead of Nichols because they have a better win % and SOS.  The fact that they are ranked proves absolutely nothing about Nichols except that Nichols should be ranked below Gordon, and they are.

Are you suggesting they do not consider it at all? I am not saying you are wrong its just why would you not consider one criteria in one ranking and then in the next two. So if you are correct and it is not considered than we could see some major jumps and drops next week even if teams continue to win games this week.
