No easy task by any means. I think they go around 10-5-1...9-4-2? Might be enough to get them dancing.

Upgrade in schedule the past 2 years in Scranton. Scranton vs Miseri features the old Scranton assistant returning as Head Coach of his new team.

Did USMMA move out of the Landmark? 

Answering my own question here:

USMMA is now in the Skyline.  Not sure if NCAA Tournament eligible for 2016, but they will be a November mainstay out of that conference for the future...

You should check out our website, D3soccer.com, more often     We mentioned this in our August 20, 2015 article What's new for 2015 season? in the final section "Changes (and Potential Changes) on the Horizon". 

As to your lingering question: they are NCAA eligible this year.  Not really sure why you would have questioned that.  Their status as a D-III member isn't affected in any way by changing conferences or even if they had gone independent.  The conference affiliation would only affect which tournament selection Pool(s) they are in (A/C or B/C).   In this case, the Skyline was already an AQ conference and, obviously, adding another team doesn't do anything to change that, so USMMA will be fighting for the Skylines's AQ berth (Pool A) and, failing that, a Pool C at-large berth.

By the way, there's other changes in conference affiliation happening for the 2016 season (e.g. Carroll moving to the CIIW).  Check out that article from last year and then keep an eye out for a similar article again this year.

Looks like a pretty weak SOS.

I will say again that the SUNYAC is one of the best conferences in the country, so overall I think this schedule is very intelligent.
If they make the conference semi's should be a dancing team I think.

[Golden_Fan]

Is SLU scheduling 7/9 of SUNYAC teams again this season?

[Saint of Old]

I think we will be the 10th SUNYAC team this year.

That's a great conference for sure.
We fell just short of playing what would have been a great Elite 8 matchup against Oneonta last year.

There are about 6 SUNYAC teams that have a legit shot at dancing when the season begins... more than you can say for almost any conference.

Plattsburgh is the old king and has been good since I was playing.
Potsdam has had a great resurgence under Coach Parker (Beat SLU @ SLU last season).
Brockport and Cortland are known threats.
New Paltz made some noise last year and will look to continue their upward trends and ofcoarse Oneonta have arguably been the best D3 team in the last half decade.

I figured with the continued release of schedules we can also add the release of official incoming classes as they start to trickle onto the school's athletic websites...

Here's Messiah's:  http://gomessiah.com/news/2016/5/10/messiah-college-mens-soccer-announces-2016-newcomers.aspx

Overall another solid class for the Falcons and one of the better ones in recent years. This group will be led by Cooper Robbins who was extended multiple D1 looks but decided to stick with the family tradition and head to Messiah. Other notables that will provide some energy right away are Shay Quintin and Jonathan Groothoff. The rest still have some work to do but I think Messiah is back on track with finding top quality in a majority of the players they are bringing in.
