UCSA rankings came out yesterday and Hobart had leap-frogged Vassar.

[Flying Weasel]

I was referring to the crucial NCAA regional rankings that feed into the at-large selections.  I was, however, jumping the gun on the impact of the loss to Utica, as that, of course, will only be seen in next week's rankings.

Big Big Games.


I have to go with Ithaca winning this one 1-0 over RIT.
Ithaca cannot afford to lose and RIT has some wiggle room.

As for Vassar and RPI.

Wow, this one is tough to pick.
I can make an argument for either team winning.
Vassar is coming off a deflating loss and RPI is coming off an inspiring win so I have to go with the hot team here and a 2-1 win for RPI.

Wow Hobart's win over Vassar was huge and that horrific GK'ing error by Hobart to lose to Cortland was also huge..A loss today v Utica places a nail in their Pool C hopes coffin...Jeez...A draw v Cortland and a win today v utica and they would have been looking quite decent

[Mr.Right]

RPI and Vassar scoreless about 10 minutes left until Halftime..



looks like RPI is going all in on facility upgrades..That might help recruiting in 5-10 years...

Scoreless first half between RPI and Vassar.  Looks like a pretty even game but not a whole lot of chances for either side.

And yea, it really puts into perspective SLU's success over the last 20 years when you put it all together in a list like that.  Program really wasn't that great before Durocher took over, just shows how phenomenal of a coach he was.  It also reminds me of a lot of what ifs with this program.  The 2008 squad was extremely solid but ran into the usual Amherst fixture in the NCAAs.  Same goes for 2010 and 2013 teams.  Just could never get over the hump.  Should have beat them in 2013.  Insane goal to tie it up in the last minute and then Brouk hit the post in overtime.   

Don't even get me going on the 2011 team.  Complete domination throughout the season and then the entire front 3 goes down with injuries.

Killing me with this Mr. R.

I was part of that 2000 squad that failed to win the league.
Went 15-0-2 in regular season with scoreless ties to Skidmore and Vassar.
Hamilton won the league going 6-1.
Then we lost at home in dance to put an end to the 60 game unbeaten streak that began in '97.

Rough way to end the senior year, but still no regrets.

[Mr.Right]

what years did you guys play again?

Saint of Old I know you played in 98 and 99 but what about you stlawus?

Durocher was a brilliant coach.
They don't make them like that anymore (Brandt, Dr. J, Coven, Doug May).

SLU was strong before he came along tough, in fact  SLU was one of the better teams in the 70s and early 80s but then had about a 10 year drought before Coach Durocher came along and it took him about 4 seasons to get his system in place.

Gr8 game going on between RPI and Vassar, and even better streaming and commentary.
Very professional.

Here we go Engineers!!!!!

[Mr.Right]

Yeah the current Head Coach at Salem State Don Goodwin's father was the longtime Head Coach before Durocher and was very well liked by his players and pretty successful..Not to the extent that Durocher was obviously but he did well up there for years...


Looks like RPI is holding strong v Vassar 0-0

Or as I like to put it, "Coach Goodwin had many Good wins"

[Mr.Right]

Just tuning into RPI v Vassar and RPI still holding strong as it is 0-0 with about 10 minutes left
