NESCAC tournament field officially set, first conference tournament for 2016:

Quarterfinal round 2/20 @ higher seeds; semifinals and finals 2/27-2/28 at the highest seed remaining after the quarterfinals:

#5 Colby (14-10, 6-4) (75)
@ 2/20 3 PM
#4 Conn College (17-6, 6-4) (66)

#7 Bates (9-14, 4-6) (29)
@ 2/20 2 PM
#2 Amherst (23-1, 9-1) (82)

#6 Williams (17-7, 5-5) (50)
@ 2/20 2 PM
#3 Bowdoin (19-5, 8-2) (73)

#8 Middlebury (11-12, 3-7) (36)
@ 2/20 2 PM
#1 Tufts (21-2, 10-0) (68)

#2 Amherst (24-1, 9-1) (63)
vs. 2/27 4 PM
#3 Bowdoin (20-5, 8-2) (51)

#5 Colby (15-10, 6-4) (42)
@ 2/27 2 PM
#1 Tufts (22-2, 10-0) (62)

#2 Amherst (25-1, 9-1)
@ 2/28 12 PM
#1 Tufts (23-2, 10-0)
In the NCAA picture: Tufts, Amherst & Bowdoin are locks and will be picked up fairly early on; Williams was #5 but they lost twice this week, and Conn College was #9; they did beat Williams but probably too far back to jump ahead of them this week.

Next week we'll have our conference tournament tracker available, just like in the last two years.

NACC tourney field is set. Just waiting on seedings. Top two seeds have byes to the semifinals.

1. Concordia Wisconsin (CUW has the head-to-head tiebreaker over WLC)
2. Wisconsin Lutheran (WLC has the head-to-head tiebreaker over MSOE)

3. MSOE (MSOE has the head-to-head tiebreaker over Aurora)
4. Aurora
5. Lakeland
6. Benedictine

Quarterfinals

#6 Benedictine (15-10, 12-8) at #3 MSOE (18-7, 15-5) Winner faces #2 Wisconsin Lutheran (18-7, 16-4)
#5 Lakeland (14-11, 13-7) at #4 Aurora (15-10, 14-6) Winner faces #1 Concordia Wisconsin (20-5, 17-3)

With how the NACC shook out this year, it could be wider open than in previous years (Wisconsin Lutheran has won the last 5 tournament titles and has won 15 straight NACC Tournament games).

Highest remaining seed will host

LEC set.  I'll update the picture later tonight.  All 8 teams in; quarterfinals 2/23 @ the higher seeds; semifinals and finals 2/26-2/27 at the highest remaining seed after the quarterfinals.

#8 Plymouth @ #1 Eastern Connecticut, #7 RI College @ #2 Keene State, #5 UMass-Dartmouth @ #4 Southern Maine.  These 3 teams have the men's team hosting as well so these 2 games will begin at 5:30 PM.
#6 UMass-Boston @ #3 Western Connecticut is just playing a single game after the Western men completely screwed the pooch losing to a 4 win team on Wednesday and now because of it open on the road instead.  This game will begin at 7.  This was also the same matchup in last's year's tournament (was in Boston) and was also the lone game that wasn't part of a double header.  So, since the other 3 games will be about over by the time this one begins, at least the loser will be one of the last 5 teams left playing for the 2nd year in a row!

#8 Plymouth State (6-19, 0-14) (58)
@ 2/23 5:30 PM
#1 Eastern Connecticut (19-6, 11-3) (68)

#5 UMass-Dartmouth (17-8, 7-7) (61)
@ 2/23 5:30 PM
#4 Southern Maine (14-11, 8-6) (58 [overtime])

#7 RI College (7-16, 5-9) (58)
@ 2/23 5:30 PM
#2 Keene State (21-4, 10-4) (70)

#6 UMass-Boston (14-11, 6-8) (70)
@ 2/24 6 PM
#3 Western Connecticut (16-9, 9-5) (62)
Boston was down 39-22 at halftime and outscored them 48-23 in the 2nd half.

#5 UMass-Dartmouth (18-8, 7-7) (51)
@ 2/26 5 PM
#1 Eastern Connecticut (20-6, 11-3) (67)

#6 UMass-Boston (15-11, 6-8) (51)
vs. 2/26 7:30 PM
#2 Keene State (22-4, 10-4) (39)

#6 UMass-Boston (16-11, 6-8) (56)
@ 2/27 2 PM
#1 Eastern Connecticut (21-6, 11-3) (64)
Keene is #7, but they are probably going to get blocked by Johnson & Wales, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Warriors nab the conference's lone bid.

HCAC
Opening round Tuesday:
#1 Bluffton - BYE*
#2 Rose-Hulman - BYE*
#6 Defiance @ #3 Franklin
#5 Mt. St. Joseph @ #4 Transylvania

Friday at Bluffton
6:00pm Bluffton vs. MSJ or Transy
8:00pm RHIT vs. Defiance or Franklin

Saturday
5:00pm Championship

*At the end of the regular season, Bluffton and RHIT were tied at the top (16-2), and Franklin and Transy were tied at 3/4 (14-4). Neither tie could not be broken by the first four tie-breaker steps (head-to-head, performance against the rest of the conference, conference road record, and record against common non-conference opponents), so a coin flip broke the Franklin/Transy tie in favor or Franklin, which in turn broke the Bluffton/RHIT tie in favor of Bluffton (by virtue of Bluffton's sweep of Franklin in the regular season).
