2015 D3 Season: NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Flying Weasel · November 25, 2015, 04:49:06 PM

Quote from: Mid-Atlantic Fan on November 25, 2015, 04:23:05 PMI do agree that the MACC has/will become a 2 bid league. The Landmark will always be a 1 bid league unless they get a "Messiah" and then a "Lycoming" to meet the challenger. (Based off of this year---not counting since 2007---FW is right about 2 bids since 08 and etc...).

Not sure I'd take this year by itself as evidence that the Landmark will always be a 1-bid conference. Only time will tell if Catholic's down year is a trend or an aberration. If they bounce back, and if Elizabethtown can build on this season, with Scranton, Drew, etc. around to put in the occassional good season, the Landmark could continue to regularly get 2 teams in the dance as has been the case. (Note: Merchant Marine moves back to the Skyline next year, so that takes away one of the potential teams to be in the mix some years).

Will a team be taking Merchant Marines place, FW?

I didn't know they were leaving either. Any reasoning? And as Last Guy said will anyone be replacing them?

Also Happy Thanksgiving to everyone...even Mr. Right

D3soccer.com mentioned Merchant Marine's move in this article: http://www.d3soccer.com/columns/christan-shirk/2015/new-in-2015

Here's the article from the USMMA's website about the move back to the Skyline Conference: http://www.usmmasports.com/general/2014-15/skyline

It doesn't really give a reason. I wonder if travel time/distance factored in as half the conference is approaching a 4-hour drive away or more (Juniata 5h5m, Catholic 4h32m, Susquehanna 3h49m, Goucher 3h47m, Elizabethtown 3h43m).

The Landmark doesn't really need a replacement member. Elizabethtown's addition brought the conference to nine teams, so the departure brings them back to eight teams which seems to be the most common (traditional?) conference size in Division III.

Skyline Conference would seem to be their best fit for location. Does anyone know why they left in the first place? Personally, Merchant Marine does not fit in the Skyline and I think they should be in a conference with their rival Coast Guard.

A couple weeks after the Final 4. I know before the NSCAA convention in January because the national winners I believe get recognized

backyarddawg · November 30, 2015, 03:01:02 PM

Regional Coaches of the Year:

Central: Ryan Souders Calvin
East: Iain Byrne SUNY Oneonta
Great Lakes: Chris Brown Kenyon
Mid-Atlantic: Shane Rineer Haverford
New England: Mike Coven Brandeis
North: Gregg Olson Macalester
South Atlantic: Gerry DiBartolo Salisbury
West: Ralph Perez Redlands

Who wins National Coach of the Year?

I'd say it's even money on Souders from Calvin... Undefeated season and trip to the final 4.

2nd place would be Rineer at Haverford. Rothert could very well get it if they win the title.

And DiBartolo won regional coach of the year? W&L coach got snubbed, IMO.
