Arkman, we'll see on the Conn vs Amherst game.  I do find it interesting that just a few days ago almost everyone picked Conn to lose to Tufts by at least 2-3 goals.  Conn gave a heroic effort on Saturday.  Of course they will try to duplicate that but to be fair they were mostly holding on for dear life in those last 30 minutes against Tufts and needed a little good fortune to hold off the Jumbos.  If Tufts had gotten another one there was was 95% chance Tufts would have won in OT.  And in contrast to Tufts, Amherst will be fully prepared from the opening whistle.

Mr.Right, it would be interesting to know more about your background if you can divulge a little more while still maintaining your anonymity.

I doubt he will ever tell you that but I think most folks would be surprised if they ever found out based on past behavior.

SERPONE!

[oldonionbag]

Just kidding. One of the best parts about these boards is that I try and picture what each person behind their respective keyboards looks like...

[madzillagd]

SERPONE!

Haha.  Funny but no. I'm not going to out him.

Just watched Rutgers-Camden and since we are talking about players here, I haven't seen a single striker/forward in the NESCAC as lethal as Mike Ryan for Camden.

[MENESCACFAN]

Haven't seen him NCAC.  Best non-NESCAC front pair I watched was the Wheaton front line.

[Mr.Right]

Yes. Ryan is one of the best D3 players in the country. Wheaton's strikers do not compare. Camden sjouhld be in the NCAA's with Newark and MOntclair St. The NJAC's top 4 are better than the UAA and Nescac top 4.

[PaulNewman]

Just to clarify, is the reference above to Wheaton (MA) or Wheaton (Ill)?  And as trivia bonus question, have the two Wheatons ever played each other?

[Mr.Right]

Wheaton,MA and no they have never played

[PaulNewman]

Would love to see Camden and/or Montclair play against Amherst or Brandeis.  I think those would be compelling games.

[Mr.Right]

Newark was in Brandeis' pod last year but lost in the 1st round to Roger Williams.

[lastguyoffthebench]

Newark handled Roger Williams except for that 15 min lapse where they let up 3 goals!   That crushed my Duhawk NCAA soccer bracket...

[Mr.Right]

Williams dismantled national champion Stockton 4-1 at Keene St in 2002. Great game. The they go on to lose to a park the bus Arcadia in PK's at Southern CT because of a snow storm. That might have been one of the worst losses in Russo's career. The coach of that Arcadia team? Tom Carlin Villinova's coach now
They dominated in 1998 and 1999 but lost and that 1996 loss was a heart breaker as they were defending national champion.
