2015 D3 Season: NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Agree. This game is wide open - end to end. There will be more goals. Great game to watch.

When I have seen Haverford 2 times this year I am just so impressed with the way they attack and it is so much fun to watch...Very open games and even in there loss to Wesleyan(CT) it was extremely entertaining...They are a legit NCAA team

Sounds like a spectacular atmosphere, fans lining the field, singing, etc. F&M closed the half pretty well so I'd say this is far from over.

Also, F&M has the best penny game I've ever seen - yellow pennies with each player's number on it.

Mr Right - I agree - this is my first time to see Haverford this year. They have a very attractive attacking style of play. And their defense has been very organized so far. Definitely a legit NCAA contender.

F&M 1
Haverford 3
Final

Impressive win from the Fords. They managed the game well in the second half, pushing fewer men forward but keeping F&M from getting at their goal through the middle of the field. F&M had more possession, but they were lacking creativity and a final ball in the attacking third. Also thought at times they could have just shot the ball rather than trying to dribble/thread through a well-organized Haverford defense. Good advert for DIII soccer and both teams will surely be in the tournament.

Saw the Haverford result coming...

Stockton beats Kean 2-0, strengthening tournament consideration.

Salisbury and Frostburg St heading to OT, 0-0

Stockton was already #2 in the South Atlantic, so saying this result strengthens their at-large selection chances might actually be an understatement. The Ospreys were under the radar much of the season, but that is over.

True. Kean's door is closing. Very little room for slip-ups

Mary Washington beats CNU... Captains on the bubble to make the CAC Conf Tournament

Whitworth goes down....2-0 to Pac Lutheran....Lutes 12-4 and 8-2.

Eastern goes down to King's.

Dickinson held to a draw with Swat.

Biggest winners of the night?

PaulNewman · October 24, 2015, 10:02:40 PM

One more word on Pac Lutheran beating Whitworth. The Lutes are now 12-4 and before today's game were at a SOS of .543. That should increase having played Whitworth again. Is it conceivable the Lutes could get ranked while Whitworth doesn't?
