UAA Soccer 2022

[PaulNewman]

Rochester is out.  The only thing that makes me a tiny bit hesitant is that UR is likely to have the highest SoS in the country after this week.  But they are 6-5-4 and have only one ranked win and they won't pick up another at Emory next weekend (and the SoS will dip just a little probably around where it was this week to around .623).

True, but a team sending out SoS cannot benefit from SoS.

And Wash U can book vacation plans along with UR, Brandeis, and Emory.

NYU had a very good weekend and should be in good shape but is still low on ranked wins and can't get one next week at Brandeis.  They may be sweating it out the more I look at it.

Gotta give credit to CMU.  Did not expect them to beat UR today and after the kind of rough patch I did expect a couple of weeks ago they've rebounded.  CMU and CWRU will want to get a result against each other next weekend but what could have set up to be a play-in game I don't think still is.

Well if I'm folliowing you this time UR's strength of schedule does help them but probably not enough.

[Gregory Sager]

So thankful that the $58,924 tuition allows CMU to let fans watch their team for free.  Unlike as SC calls U of PAYWALL's $59,324, the school can not free up enough money to let their fans watch free.

I call it "the Rochacha gotcha".

[Coach Jeff]

Does anyone have any information on Griffin Wada.  It looked like a knee injury.  Hope he is ok

[4samuy]

Looked like a mild hyperextension.  He came back in and finished the game

Only 1 UAA team makes it past the first round.

And that's barely.  Chicago almost gave up a goal on a wide open look 10 minutes in.  I thought Chicago was rock solid but between its showing here, the weakness of the UAA in the tournament, and Kenyon's shellacking of Calvin now I am not so certain.

I wouldn't call it barely. Once UChicago scored, the result really wasn't in doubt. The Maroons looked vulnerable though, and Willamette is gonna give them problems tomorrow night.

CMU did poorly, but CWRU was eliminated in PKs and NYU lost in OT.  I think this was a weaker than usual year for the UAA in general, but basing any conclusions on the results of a coin flip and an OT game is a stretch.  The UAA was still probably the second strongest conference in the country, although the gap between it and the NESCAC was wider than usual.

Not gonna argue that the Nescac is not the Champions Lge of D3 soccer. As far as who is next in line, I think we need a whole new topic thread to settle that debate. I am sure many conferences would nominate themselves...Off the top of my head, @least 2 from the Upstate NY region would fancy their chances.

Actually, Williams beat NYU 2-1, in 2 OT.
