How is Amherst's number of graduation losses not big? They lose their whole starting midfield and defense, + Martin. Don't underestimate the loss of Tuft's Halliday. He will be VERY hard to replace.

A few more observations:

Calvin got behind Tufts plenty of times but they just were not committing enough numbers forward as others said. They should have had people in the box when their wingers drove byline to cut it back.

3 NCAA championships in a row for NESCAC teams. Lol that only 2 teams got bids this year. I PROMISE you that bowdoin and williams would have at least got to the second week of competition.

Calvin lacked quality on their left wing and striker position. Is that their normal striker? He got no change from Sullivan or Coleman.

Can't help but feel sorry for Messiah. I do think they were the best team this year.

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

Could have told you Tufts would score the game winner off a set piece. Well done to the Jumbos. Shapiro is the best coach in D3 soccer. He knows he doesn't have a stand out player and that defense wins championships. Tufts just does not give up goals or even good opportunities. Crazy to think this is his second time doing this in the last 3 years! There is no chance anyone can think that this Jumbos team is better than the 2014 team in any aspect of the game.

Oh well doesn't matter, well done!

Congrats to the seniors who have now won 2 NCAA championships. That is remarkable!

I don't see how either of these teams could be favored against Tuft's. Well, I was probably one of the few who thought Tuft's would win from the beginning.

Is this a joke? 8 forwards? Lol that Nescac only has 3 players. Regardless of my bias, Devlin should be a first team all American. Hopefully other sites do a better job.

I really don't understand how Gimand has made All-NESCAC first team the last two years. Halliday should be higher on that list, he makes Tufts tick. Good to see Lenhart and Aoyoma get recognition. Obviously no one is surprised by Devlin's inclusion. He should be at worst a second team all american. Happy for Niang. He's a beast!

Hlinomaz did not play in 2015 so yes he has another year.

From the beginning I thought Tuft's had as good a chance as anyone to win this thing. They don't give up many chances. Defense wins championships. Roll on Jumbos!

It's a shame Wesleyan has had the season they do. They play some great football and are one of the few teams to try and pass it.

This time around Conn should be liking their chances against Hamilton since their key players are healthy.

Can you two stop bickering  ;D

We can all agree that Tufts, Amherst, and Midd are the only three teams will a chance at progressing far in the NCAAs. Defense wins championships and both teams have strong defenses when needed. In these NCAA games anything can happen. It really comes down to two things: making less mistakes than your opponent and moments of magic (a la Kayne's giant killer goal).

Devlin CHOSE Conn over d1 and other elite d3 schools. He would start at every d3 school, and the majority of d1 schools.

Tufts did not impress me in their win against Conn yesterday. Compared to previous Tufts teams they are inferior technically and far less imposing physically. I can see Tufts advancing to the second or third round of the tournament because the rest of the league is down this year, but Mr. Right is spot on when he says Tufts is VERY beatable.

I'm not trying to bash Amherst. They know how to win and have a national championship to show for it. I'm just saying that this game will be a pleasant watch for spectators since the ball will spend a lot less time in the air.
