2016 Schedules

[Shooter McGavin]

I believe E-town won their Spring Tournament...   Teams that I heard participated... E-town, Eastern, Rutgers-Camden, Dickinson, Marymount, ... Don't have any scores.

Dumb question do seniors play in the spring of their graduation year? Or are they not included?

Figured as much, just wanted to confirm.
I think they are allowed to practice if they choose, but I doubt coaches want them playing in the spring game since it is building up for next year's team, which the current seniors would not be apart of.

Has Scranton's schedule been released yet?

No. You think ETOWN is the team to beat in the Landmark next year?

Catholic, Scranton, Etown in that order for the Landmark next year.

Haverford schedule released to alumni.

Western New England @ Brandeis
@ Brandeis
Alvernia @ Eastern
Vs Lycoming
@ Stevens Tech
Vs Hopkins
@ Stockton
@ McDaniel
@ WAC
Vs Getty
Vs RUC
@ Dickinson
@ Scranton
@ Muhlenberg
@ F&M
Vs Ursinus
@ Swarthmore

Haverford played at West Chester this spring and tied LaSalle 1-1 and West Chester 0-0.  From the reports I got back from alum, Haverford carried the games in both of them and was unlucky not to score 3 or 4 vs LaSalle and at least 1 or 2 against West Chester.   

Haverford 2016


Okay, so we know they have Brandeis on Sunday the 4th.  The question remains who the 4th team is for the Brandeis Invitational that the Fords would play on Saturday.

Will they drop Rosemont off the schedule.  Close in proximity to the school, but this game crushes SOS.  They've played 3 of the last 4 years, but I think this one is going bye-bye.   Why not look to add Cabrini again?

The Fords have been beefing up the NJAC slate;  Rutgers-Camden, Rowan, Kean, MSU or Stockton.    They've also played WPU and Rutgers-Newark.

Out of conference predictions:
Keene St (wishful thinking for Middlebury or Wesleyan here in this spot)
Brandeis
Eastern
Rutgers-Camden
MSU
Rowan
Kean
E-town
possibly Stevens Tech
possibly Cabrini

Messiah needs some bigger names on their resume and they've played the Fords in 2 of the previous 5 seasons.  Would be a good add for both schools.   
Eastern also played Haverford in 2011 and 2012... this game would make sense for both schools.
E-town also needs some stronger out-of-conference games.  Haverford has played Scranton, Drew, Catholic in the past...

My predictions for the Fords is they will finish 11-3-3 with losses to Brandeis, Hopkins, and F&M and draws with Lycoming, Stevens Tech, and Camden. They will sneak by Stockton, Dickinson, and Gettysburg.

Thanks for the info. I also just got wind that Lycoming and Bucknell tied 1-1. A nice result for Lycoming.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend the game, but I talked to a few fans/coaches that did attend. From what I gathered, Lycoming scored a few minutes in on a PK that was well earned but then squandered the lead less than 10 minutes later on a cross and header goal. Bucknell had the edge in the first half after tying it up and more shot attempts, but Lycoming had the edge throughout the second half and had the overall better scoring chances during the course of the game. It was a pretty high pace, physical contest as well and the teams decided to not proceed with the overtime periods. 

It's a good result regardless for Lycoming and something I am sure they can build on.

They decided not to play overtime because it was too physical of a game? Or they didn't play overtime because it wasn't scheduled for more than 90 minutes?

Looks Like Whitworth is headed East to try improve it's SOS and play some NJAC's.

[lastguyoffthebench]

Surprised with only 8 out of conference games for Haverford.   Could be a good thing.

Only five home games?   Three Home for Centennial and Six Away?   AWFUL

WNEC (neutral)
BRANDEIS (away)
ALVERNIA (neutral)
LYCOMING (home)
STEVENS TECH (away)
STOCKTON (away)
CAMDEN (home)
SCRANTON (away)

With this kind of schedule I'd have to say 7 blemishes before conference tournament...  I'll be going to the Lyco-Haverford match.

Why is that?

Kenyon schedule out...interesting given last year's SoS hulabaloo....

11 AWAY games, 6 HOME games

AWAY at Otterbein, Heidelberg, Catholic, Frostburg, Thomas More, Case Western, DePauw, Denison, Oberlin, Wittenberg, Wabash

HOME with Muskingum, Centre, Wooster, Hiram, Allegheny, OWU

Not as tough as some of the others noted above, but still looks like a significant upgrade especially with some road games that should boost SoS.

I'd expect Kenyon's SOS to be a non-issue with that schedule.  Some of it will depend on whether teams that were good last year remain so given graduation losses - Thomas More, Case, DePauw, and Oberlin all fall into that category IMO (Denison was young and should improve) - but just having that home-to-away ratio should be enough.  I can't run the specific numbers (no time) but if you assume everyone they play is 0.500, the SOS would be like 0.554, which is fine for Pool C.

Curious to see Frostburg's schedule as they have picked up Kenyon and Lycoming that we know of and Case has picked up Lycoming and faces Kenyon again as well (back to back games I might add).

Not really sure.

Catholic, Scranton, Etown in that order for the Landmark next year.

Why is that?

Catholic had a down year last season (losing in semis to Etown but 7-10-2 overall record 4-3-1 conference record) and historically has been at the top of the Landmark over the last several years. I think they will regain the crown in that league and, as others have mentioned, Scranton will be stronger this season than last so I have them second edging out Etown. I don't think Etown will recover from the loss of their 5 seniors.

Too early to tell but I would go Scranton, Etown, Catholic, Goucher, Susquehanna, Drew, Moravian, and Juniata...MM left after last season correct?

[Mid-Atlantic Fan]

Most should be getting released pretty soon I would imagine? Any others to add to the list?

Just thinking of ones that are missing from the Mid-Atlantic region are Etown, Eastern, Kings, Misericordia, Alvernia, Susquehanna, Catholic, Scranton, F&M, Dickinson, Swat, Gettysburg and the list goes on...
