2014 D3 Season: National Perspective

[ppn512]

With the way Messiah is playing lately and having more than one threat, I dont see Montclair St. upsetting Messiah, but I didn't see them losing to Lycoming last year or Neumann in 2011 either. There's a reason games are played.

Anybody got a Brockport vs Union or TCNJ vs Steven score?

Stevens 2, TCNJ 0...


Welcome to the forum, Corazon.

Thank you, last guy. Been lurking for a long time. Finally decided to take the plunge. Great forum; lots of knowledgeable and respectful posters here. Will try to contribute what little I know.

Upset special... E'town over F&M.

[Corazon]

Upset special... E'town over F&M.

That is a bold prediction!

[PaulNewman]

I forgot St Scholastica at GAC beginning in 40 minutes.  An important early season clash.

[PaulNewman]

GAC snags a good 3-0 win over CSS.

DePauw and Thomas More heading to 2nd OT.

Wheaton (Ill) spanked Brooklyn 7-1.

[PaulNewman]

DePauw scores first minute of 2nd OT.  Morrison assist to Gonzalez.  Much needed win for the Tigers.

Stymied on any coverage of CNU vs Trinity clash.  No link for live stats available.

[PaulNewman]

Lynchburg 3 Rutgers-C 0

Is that a surprise?

BTW, Trinity (TX) 5-3 over CNU last night in an old fashioned Texas shootout next to the Alamo.

Oneonta with a take-notice, discount double-check 4-1 win away at Vassar.

Hiram clobbered Heidelberg 5-1 and must be much improved over last year.

Carnegie Mellon finally grabs a very solid 3-0 win against visiting Allegheny.

NESCAC results so far today trending as expected.

Still not sure about Camden this year; Starting RB was out and starting GK was out.    The 3-0 result was not hardly the case, but either way the loss does not surprise me. 

Camden controlled most of the game, but was unable score (hit woodwork once).   Lynchburg GK came up with a few big saves and they scored nice first goal to take the lead late in the half.  Camden had at least three more chances to equalize, but then Lynchburg pretty much put them away with two mistakes in the back leading to two more goals  (Lynchburg 3 goals on 5 shots on target).
 
Looks like at this point, Camden will need to win the NJAC or get to semis to make the tournament (CNU, Haverford, Swat looming for the out-of-conference games certainly won't make it an easy task, but could also help them with good results).

[lastguyoffthebench]

MSU hits the post 30 seconds in... Wheaton 3 goals on 3 shots in first 10 minutes... 

[PaulNewman]

Lastguy, would you say the following is accurate?  Rutgers-C isn't the kind of team they were a year ago but by tournament time will be a team you won't want to see in your side of the draw?

[lastguyoffthebench]

I thought Camden would be able to piece together a similar season that ONU did after falling to Messiah in the final and losing a good amount of Seniors.   Losing the seven starters (two all-americans) will take time to grow together this year, but they could be a force in November (just have to make it there first)!
