Quote from: maineman on November 10, 2025, 10:57:34 AMTufts needs to be reassigned to the UAA!

This is "tongue in cheek."  It has been said for years that Tufts would be better suited to the UAA because of their size and graduate schools.  I am sure they won't do it because of transportation costs and hockey.  There is no hockey in the UAA and I am sure they are very happy being in the NESCAC.

Somehow, maineman, when you wrote that post, I had the feeling that you knew that Tufts was going to be the #1 seed at the Brandeis site this weekend-- more than a half hour before the bracket got revealed!

As for me, I adopt Curry as my "Home" D3 men's ice hockey team.  Curry plays their home games in Canton, MA, after all!  (I will probably be in my grave before Brandeis gets a varsity ice hockey team!)

Selections were revealed a few hours ago on the final DIII Men's Soccer NPI summary report of the season.

Quote from: deiscanton on November 08, 2025, 03:47:33 PMBrandeis may have entered the day too far down the NPI table to get an at-large bid, but the RV Judges have just defeated #21 NYU today, 1-0, at Lubetkin Field at Mal Simon Stadium on the NJIT campus in Newark, NJ.  The win today snaps a 27 game UAA winless streak for the Brandeis women's soccer team that spanned almost 4 full seasons.  Before today, the last UAA conference win for the Brandeis women was on November 6, 2021, also at NYU.  However, in 2021, NYU played their home games at Gaelic Park on the Manhattan College campus in the Bronx/Riverdate, NY. 

The Brandeis women went 0-6-1 in UAA play in 2022, 0-7 in UAA play in 2023, 0-6-1 in UAA play in 2024, and will finish UAA play this year with a conference record of 1-5-1. 

Now the question is-- did the Brandeis win over NYU take the NYU women (#31 in the NPI going into today) out of contention for an at-large bid but virtue of NYU being one of the first 7 teams out?  Or will NYU barely hang on to be the last or second to last team into the field?

UAA outlook going into this morning.

UAA gets at least 5 at large bids, with NYU on the bubble and currently being one of the last 7 teams in to the field with an at-large bid.  NYU currently at the at-large pick #20 line right now, but a few major upsets in conference tournament play today will knock out the Violets.

However, if NYU holds on, then the UAA will get 7 of their 8 women's soccer teams into the NCAA DIII women's soccer tournament for the third season in a row.

Brandeis will not make it into the NCAA DIII women's soccer tournament-- Judges are currently one of the first 7 teams out of the dance.

Here is the official NCAA DIII women's soccer Selections NPI report-- End of regular season--

It can be found at http://stats.ncaa.org/selection_rankings/nitty_gritties/46696

For the third year in a row, the UAA hit the jackpot-- 7 out of the 8 women's soccer teams in the UAA made it into the field, while the bubble did indeed burst for Brandeis.

NYU was one of the last 7 in-- officially getting at-large bid #19.

Brandeis was one of the first 7 out-- had the at-large field consisted of 25 teams rather than 21, Brandeis would have been the 25th at-large pick.  Brandeis's NPI fell about a quarter point below the cut line.

Here is where the UAA women's teams stood in the final report, and the order in which they were picked for at-large bids if the team wasn't the AQ.

1.)  Wash U-- #1 in NPI-- 71.255 UAA Champions-- UAA AQ
2.)  Emory-- #2 in NPI-- 70.222 (At large pick #1)
3.)  UChicago-- #4 in NPI-- 66.144 (At large pick #2)
4.)  CWRU-- #5 in NPI-- 65.535 (At large pick #3)
5.)  Rochester-- #19 in NPI-- 61.046 (At large pick #7)

7.)  NYU-- #38 in NPI-- 59.157 (At large pick #19)
8.)  Brandeis-- #46 in NPI-- 58.382

Cut-line was Rhodes at #41 in NPI with an NPI value of 58.623

Final

Brandeis and NYU finish with a 1-1 draw at Lubetkin Field in Newark, NJ today.

Brandeis has secured an at-large bid to the NCAA DIII Men's Soccer Tournament with the draw and will find out their first round opponent when the bracket gets revealed on Monday.

Had Brandeis lost, we would have needed to do scoreboard watching as Brandeis would have fallen to "last 7 in" status on the bubble.

The draw will probably lower Brandeis's NPI to around the 56.980 range, but still enough for an at-large bid.

Final game stats

Brandeis outshot NYU, 19-10, and led in shots on target, 7-4.

Brandeis led on corner kicks taken, 7-5.

Each team was whistled for 7 fouls a piece.

3 yellow cards were issued to Brandeis players, while 2 yellow cards were issued to NYU players.

Brandeis was whistled 5 times for offsides, while NYU was whistled 3 times for offsides.
