I've decided to share my secret spreadsheet results for New England inclusive of games through today.

1.  Brandeis
2.  Wheaton
3.  Babson
4.  Amherst
5.  Coast Guard
6.  Tufts
7.  WPI
8.  Nichols
9.  Gordon
10. Wesleyan
11. Middlebury

If New England gets 5 Pool C berths, Tufts should be safe.  WPI is in only if NE gets 6.

Brandeis, Wheaton and Babson rewarded with hosting first and second round games.  Good luck to all.

Off Pitch

New England teams' first round NCAA games:

Nichols (14-2-4) vs. UMass-Boston (14-5-2):  CCC vs Little East.  Massey and Bennett ratings both have these two teams ranked nationally within 3 spots of one another, so this should be a toss-up.  I will take Nichols 2-1.

Franklin & Marshall vs. Johnson & Wales: The RI side will be doing some wailing & gnashing.  F&M will be too much and take this one 3-1.

Brandeis vs. Husson:  In the NAC it was Husson first, Whatson 2nd, I don't know 3rd.  Brandeis coasts 4-0.

Brockport St. vs. Bowdoin: Bowdoin goes on an offensive surge and overcomes Brockport 1-0.

Amherst vs. Fitchburg St:  I'm bullish on Amherst's D in this one.  Amherst runs it up 5-0.

Rutgers-Newark vs. Babson: Babson is hot, but Rut-N is the kind of team that the Beavers have struggled with.  Too close to call, but Rutgers-Newark advances on PKs after a competitive 1-1 match.

Wheaton vs. Daniel Webster: Wheaton whacks woefully weak Webster winning wonderfully 5-0.

Tufts vs. Dickinson: Tufts shakes off the rust and advances 2-1.

Coast Guard vs. Catholic: Coast Guard brings Catholic to their knees 2-0.

OffPitch, I'm loving it. So punny.  :D

What can anyone tell me about Wheaton's field? Good, bad, fast, etc?

Mr.Right

Wheaton has a nice short cut grass field. Just short of 120 v 80 but it is big enough

Watch out for Babson, Getting hot at the right time of year ( 7 in a row, 10 of last 11)

Off Pitch

If Babson can get past Rutgers-Newark, I think they will match up better against Cortland St.  Based on Babson's results against elite  caliber competition like Oneonta and Brandeis, playing a competitive game against Messiah is a dream.

Off Pitch

In the 40 years of the NCAA D3 national tournament, the New England region has been represented in the final game 8 times with 6 championships and 2 runner-up finishes.  The schools with final game history are:

Babson - 3 games, 3 championships
Brandeis - 2 games, 1 championship
Williams - 2 games, 1 championship
Middlebury - 1 game, 1 championship

With Middlebury and Williams sitting the 2014 tournament out, and Babson in a quadrant with Messiah, the region's hopes for a repeat final game appearance rest with Brandeis.

Of the region's other ranked teams, Amherst has a pair of Final 4 appearances and Wheaton has been to one Final 4.

Brother Flounder

I think this voting occurs pretty early. Wish it took place after the NCAA tourney.  I would like to have seen a few more from Tufts since they won the NCAA, like Kayne, Santos, Kramer, Brown, or Pinheiro, etc......

BF, just curious.  Why are you posting the above in every thread?
