So the UAA again places 5 teams into the NCAA tourney - WashU (AQ), Chicago, NYU, Emory & Rochester!  Im rooting for the 'Jackets first, but would love to see all of the teams make some noise again this year. UR has a tough draw against Calvin, but this defense can stifle the best, should be interesting. WashU and Chicago should win their openers, while NYU & Emory also have interesting matchups in St. Josephs (always generate eye-popping stats until they hit the tourney) and Centre (the 2019 semifinalist).

Any predictions? I'd love to see a Chicago v. UR matchup in the Sweet 16....

Asking for a friend..

Potential SA inquiring about teams in league that employ a "wingback" formation. Disclosure: I have no clue what this means as soccer is not my sport. Any other place or resource that could be researched to find this out?

Thanks in advance, appreciate any guidance on the subject. Posting this to the league threads that have shown mutual interest.

Potential SA inquiring about teams in league that employ a "wingback" formation.

In the 6 seasons that i've been closely watching this league i can't say that one program deployed the same game tactics on a consistent basis during that time. For the simple reason that as a coach you don't know what your best game plan is until you've worked with your team, and every team looses roughly 1/4 of their players every year.

I would suggest to your friend to watch some games from each of the programs online (they're plenty available, and even for those schools that have a pay wall you can still catch their away games) and decide for himself if he likes the style he sees or not. The best way to figure out where he would best fit though is to attend an ID camp - that's where my son found his place, falling in love with the program while essentially trying out for it and meeting other recruits in the same situation. He can narrow down which camps to attend by first checking into the academic programs that he's interested in, then looking at the program's info like publicity videos (they all have them, and none of those are behind a pay wall  ), recent program results, etc.

Good luck!
