What is this for? End of year projection? or for the first NCAA ranking? And when does that come out? And Eastern at 10...so if they don't win their conference and lose 1 game all year say conference final you wouldn't have them with an at-large bid?

Not questioning you just clarifying 

[lastguyoffthebench]

These would be my NCAA Regional projections for the first release.  The Centennial dominates the OWP - OOWP criteria.  Depends how the numbers are crunched.  They do have 2 wins over regionally ranked teams (Salisbury and Lycoming), but both of those schools also have weak SOS.   Last year Eastern was 15-3 heading into the MACF playoffs and lost to King's, finished 15-4 and missed out on NCAAs.

[Mid-Atlantic Fan]

Right and they were probably behind Lycoming last year who was 15-3-3 and also lost in conference finals, but to Messiah, not the same caliber as Kings.  Will be interesting to see it all pan out!

A look around the region tonight...

Messiah comes back from 2 down to beat Leb Val 4-2.

Arcadia draws Alvernia 0-0 on the road. This is the game that I tuned into tonight. Pretty even and competitive match. Arcadia with the better of play but pretty split all game. Arcadia 14-8 favor in shots. Tough, hard fought conference game for these teams. Alvernia can't afford to keep racking up ties if they want any sniff at an at large bid. Their dream of that might already be over.

Lycoming beats Stevenson on the road 5-0. All 5 goals coming with 10 men after a red card in the 15th minute.

Hood downed Juniata 3-0 in non-conference action as Demich added 2 more goals to his tally this year putting him at 17 total and counting.

Widener puts a beating on Albright 7-0.

Keystone wins a tight game in OT 2-1 over Summit to keep their CSAC playoff hopes alive.

Wilkes downs McDaniel 2-1 after trailing early.

I tuned in to the Messiah game at an intermission of the Brandeis v MIT game. I happened to catch Lebanon Valley's 2nd goal which was an absolute disasterous GK'ing blunder AGAIN by the Messiah GK. The kid hit a shot from 35 yrds out and the GK had like his feet stuck in mud. Didn't move and then it might have gone in over his head or in between his hands I couldn't quite see...No doubt Messiah has a strong 10 but with that keeper they can win the AQ all they want they are not going very far in November. Maybe they would be better off playing with a keeper / sweeper like Rene Higueta used to do for Colombia in the 1990 World Cup. Except instead of these 2 stiffs in net use an actual field player and just try to keep possession.

Yes goalies seem to be hard to find these days...good goalies that is.

Screwed up my calculation... Eastern will be ranked

Did anybody watch the Lycoming at Stevenson or Leb Val at Messiah games last night? I was tuned into Arcadia at Alvernia so was hoping for a brief summary on both those games. Recaps always tend to be bias if you read both schools recaps.

From the box score and recap of Lycoming vs Stevenson it says Lycoming got a red card in the 15th minute when it was still 0-0. So they scored 5 goals in the next 75 minutes a man down. Is Stevenson that bad or is Lycoming that good or a mix of both? I can't imagine Stevenson is that poor considering that they could have/almost upset top ranked F&M not too long ago. If anyone watched please provide some info on this game please. Box Score below:

Game Stats   LYCOM   STE
Goals                 5   0
Shots               23   4

Saves                 2   8
Corners                 7   1
Offsides                 2   0
Fouls               11   12

As for Leb Val at Messiah, the Falcons surrendered 2 goals before scoring 4 unanswered in the final 30. The box score below is favored to Messiah as expected but LVC scoring 2 goals on 6 shots with only 2 SOG has to be concerning? I mean Messiah never gives up shots but when they do they never use to go in or be close...to go down 2-0 to that team has to be concerning. Any Falcon fans out their watch the game? Any thoughts?
