I thought it might be a good idea to discuss some of the best individual performances so far in this tournament, in an attempt to decide who might be the MVP thus far.

Base solely on statistics here are a few names from the final 4 teams:
- Josh Ocel (Brandeis) - 1 goal, 4 assists (out of 10 total goals); 1 goal and 2 assists in the quarterfinals
- Mike Lynch (Brandeis) - 3 goals (out of 10 total goals); 2 goals in the quarterfinals
- Bobby Mcgraw (Calvin) - 4 goals, 1 assist (out of 8 total goals); 1 goal and 1 assist in the quarterfinals
- Tony Kuplic (St. Thomas) - 5 goals (out of 9 total goals); 2 goals in the quarterfinals
- Nathan Majumdar (Tufts) - 2 goals (out of 5 total goals); 1 goal in the quarterfinals
- Dexter Eichhorst (Tufts)- 1 goal, 2 assists (out of 5 total goals); 1 assist in the quarterfinals

While I've seen all of the final 4 teams play so far this tournament, Brandeis is the only team I've seen play more than once, so I'll add the workhorse Zach Viera and GK Ben Woodhouse to the discussion. Also, considering Tufts has yet to concede a goal this tournament, Scott Greenwood definitely deserves some consideration too.

I will add Isky Van Dorn from Calvin.

Haven't been following Calvin this season, but Van Dorn's the best player on the field right now.

Sullivan. I can't remember him losing a header or someone getting around him.

Sullivan or Greenwood....

Got to be Greenwood....by a mile.  Sullivan was huge but I could never bring myself to vote for him.  The kind of player you absolutely detest as an opponent and love as a teammate.

Has to be Greenwood. As solid as Sullivan was, he didn't do anything spectacular in my view, whereas Greenwood made a string of phenomenal saves throughout the tournament run. No way Tufts gets to the Final 4 without him.

I agree with Greenwood as MVP. I !think Van Doorne was the most talented player on the field, but since Calvin didn't get the win, he wasn't the MVP.

Vegter was great too.  And I wonder if Noyola would have made a difference.  Calvin struggled today at right back although the kid made some nice plays too.
