2014 D3 Season: National Perspective

[Mr.Right]

Agreed

[blooter442]

Brandeis breaks through in 82nd min with a rebound goal from a kid who has only played in 2 games this season.  Pressure tilts over the Chicago.

Actually, it was Evan Jastremski—Bender is injured.

Brandeis has won more than a handful of cliffhangers.  A very clutch, experienced team but one wonders if the pattern will catch up to them as the quality goes up another level.

Agreed. Both of their losses have been hard-luck, but they could have easily dropped points against Wheaton, Tufts, WashU, and Case. We shall see.

... if Camden some how weasels it's way into the secret final rankings,  logic would say that Newark should be toast.   MSU fell 5 spots to 7th after losing to a regionally ranked team.  Rutgers Newark would also pick up 2 more losses vs a regionally ranked team (camden), have a lower SOS, but much higher win percentage.

Camden might jump Centres SOS in region after playing teams with a combined record of 30-8 this week as well.

Pool C locks so far:

Emory
Brandeis
Salisbury
Wheaton MA

[Golden_Fan]

1-1 already for oneonta and cortland

[Mr.Right]

Not so sure Salisbury is a lock. They are looking very good but not quite a lock yet

[lastguyoffthebench]

Bad pks... Middlebury is done.

[just4kix]

Not so sure Salisbury is a lock. They are looking very good but not quite a lock yet

Salisbury will look a whole lot better if CNU takes care of business today.

[Mr.Right]

SLU dominating RPI late in the first half but as we have seen all season Dewald is one of the better keepers in the country for RPI. The longer this game stays 0-0 RPI has a fighting chance for sure

[Mr.Right]

Salisbury should be safe but a .556 SOS is average at best and a 0-1-3 Record vs ranked is not good.  Also, 5 ties is quite a bit and the South Atlantic regional rankings have been fluctuating as we know the past 3 weeks. That being said they should be all set unless this upset Saturday continues

[njf1003]

Haverford up 1-0 over F&M at the half.

[Flying Weasel]

Chicago beats Wash U., so that gives them the UAA automatic berth, right? 

[Mr.Right]

correct.

[Ommadawn]

SLU goes up 1-0 on RPI with 25' to play.

[Mr.Right]

Chicago gets the automatic bid. Brandeis and Emory are locks. I would imagine the winner of UR v Case is in also. CM is on the wrong side of the bubble but crazier things have happened.
