2022 D3 Men's Soccer National Perspective

[PaulNewman]

Oh my gosh....20-0-2.

Now let's see how many insist that West Conn should get in the tournament.

[PaulNewman]

I am not convinced the guy doing commentary for the WestConn-UMB final is not Rush Limbaugh.

Is WestConn going to be first ever 20 win team to not make the tournament?  Their bubble has been stretched to the max after today.

Are they more deserving than Skid, Vassar (who they beat), Hamilton, Williams, etc?

[4samuy]

Pn,

I haven't seen to this point that anyone has put them in the conversation to be included in the tournament.  I may have missed something but Imho they have no shot without the auto bid. Not a chance.  They will come up to the table in round 75. Now that's being facetious. Knowing you I'm pretty sure your being  facetious as well.

[4samuy]

Wow, I guess facetious may have been the wrong word.  Imho there is no way they have a chance.  They won't jump anyone in region 1.  It was get the aq or bust. Other than winning percentage, NOTHING works in their favor.

[PaulNewman]

"Top shelf where grandma keeps the good scotch...."

One Pool C saved....

[4samuy]

Wow.  Who won the day from a national tournament bracketing perspective?  Imho it has to be Chicago.  Not only did they win the UAA conference championship, but three of the regionally ranked non conference teams they beat during the season also won their respective conference AQs.  Calvin beat Hope, St Olaf beat GAC and Luther just beat Loras.

But, if I'm Chicago I don't want to see any of them in tournament.  IMO, Chicago may get away from all three on the first weekend, but beyond that it's up for grabs.

C2C Final -- UMW scores with 17 seconds left to take a 1-0 lead.  Then CNU scores with no time left on the clock to force overtime.  I've never seen anything like it.

Brutal.  Amazing.

C2C Final -- UMW scores with 17 seconds left to take a 1-0 lead.  Then CNU scores with no time left on the clock to force overtime.  I've never seen anything like it.

Mary Washington wins in PKs.  I expect Christopher Newport is taking one of the Pool C bids

[Chargers96]

C2C Final -- UMW scores with 17 seconds left to take a 1-0 lead.  Then CNU scores with no time left on the clock to force overtime.  I've never seen anything like it.

Mary Washington wins in PKs 6-5.  Is a Pool C now gone with CNU missing out on the AQ?

[paclassic89]

Yep, CNU is a pool C lock

[PaulNewman]

Lost internet access for a bit so missed it but happy for MW GK after way regulation ended.  He would have had nightmares forever.

And yes, CNU a lock.

[Flying Weasel]

But whoever lost was probably going to get a Pool C at-large berth, so it doesn't really change anything for Pool C candidates who are nervous about their status.
