Thought we should break things off with a new thread.

Have at it!

Pac Lutheran takes one of the bubble Pool C bids

[Hopkins92]

On that first half of the selections... Rowan and Middlebury is my circled match.

Hopkins hosting... Not the BLUE STREAKS again!!!!

[Hopkins92]

Kind of nuts that one of the few teams to give Messiah a game this year were the Violets. Like.. I know it's not purposeful, but... It's pretty crazy.

2-1 win back at the end of Sept.

[Hopkins92]

Williams gets a Pool C. That record is BONKERS.

CMU gets another!!

[Hopkins92]

Oh snap... Tufts vs. UMass Boston is gonna be wild.

And Vassar takes the last spot.

[Hopkins92]

I have to say... They do a darn good job with that... Lots of good nuggets of information and obviously very dialed into how each team got their slot.

UAA with 4 teams, and 3 of them in the same "region" of the bracket... Weird.

[NEPAFAN]

Weather will be a factor in the mid-Atlantic with the remnants of Hurricane/Storm Nicole on Saturday.

Here we go again.  What year was it where the rain was so bad that games had to be played on Messiah's turf field? 2017?

[Ejay]

There are some really juicy potential second round games!
St Lawrence/Amherst
Mary Washington/OWU
Kenyon/Calvin
Stevens/Middlebury
North Park/ Ohio Northern

I think 2018.

And men have precedence for 1st/2nd round games, right?

UAA with 4 teams, and 3 of them in the same "region" of the bracket... Weird.

As mentioned elsewhere, NESCAC with the "expected" 5 teams, many of us shaking heads over 6 win Williams getting in over a very good Montclair St. team.

Also, like the UAA, they have placed 3 of the NESCAC teams in the same "region." Just shows you they aren't messing with the same type of subjective or, I dunno how to characterize it, but say in the D1 basketball where they get all wrapped up in trying to spread out the teams within a conference.

[College Soccer Observer]

The only bracketing rule they have to follow is no intra conference matchups in first two rounds.
