Anyone have a recap on what happened on the double red play? Also, is Yarros hurt?

It was a bad tackle by Skidmore and then the SLU centerback got in a shoving match with the Skidmore players. I'm not entirely sure on Yarros but I think he picked up a minor injury in practice.

I am interested to see how Skidmore comes out 2nd Half. 10 v 10 can be fun and open things up a bit if Skidmore were to take a chance and attack and press but they do not play that way usually.

Grant scores 50', SLU up 2-1.

Skidmore with a nice chance. Great ball that led Santos 1v1 with SLU GK and a fine save by SLU's GK as he made himself BIG

10 minutes left SLU still up 2-1 but Skidmore starting to apply the pressure.

Dilts to Grant ices the game with a 3-1 lead 84'

SLU ends Skidmore's NCAA dreams and their season is over unless they applied to get into the ECAC's. Valiant effort by Skidmore today but just not enough.

3rd straight double for the Saints. Missing key pieces to injury to start the year but the freshmen class stepped up big time.

So do any other LL teams get into the dance?

Mr.Right · November 07, 2015, 03:34:55 PM

Nope...One bid league once again

A shame. So many talented players in a league where the teams beat each other up routinely during the regular season. Most even league season in a long time with every team able to beat any other team on a given day. From a future recruiting standpoint, the LL is going to become a tough sell. Other conferences that routinely get multiple bids, NESCAC, UAA etc. will be more attractive if a prospective player wants to get to the NCAA tourney. St. Lawrence is a tough choice as they are deep for years to come.

Nah that does not come in to play as much in D3. The Liberty league is a strong league but some teams need to do better out of conference and some need to beef up their out of conference schedules. Hobart and Skidmore are good sides who should be in the NCAA's but it did not work out

Hobart's loss to Skidmore probably cost them a bid and did not improve Skidmore's chances enough. Both of thee teams, and RPI, are hoping for selection miracles (as is Cortland over in the SUNYAC)....

Hobart, Skidmore, Cortland and RPI have about as good a chance of Green Mountain to get in. ZERO. Harsh yes because all 4 teams are good teams but they came up a bit short. I forgot if the NY / NJ region still does an ECAC tournament but I think all 4 teams should participate if they elected to participate which some schools do not.
