What expectations?  Many played and contributed. Does this make the team better?

Rowan brings in six D1 transfers. 

Did the Cabrini players improve Montclair?

Last Battle For Eagle Road.  Cabrini v Eastern tomorrow.  This was always a fun match to watch.

Can not expect much.  The coach was interim through the spring.

FLOSports is expensive and very difficult to cancel.

Ambitious opening non-conference schedule for Pomona-Pitzer, playing St. Thomas and Trinity in San Antonio over Labor Day weekend.  Vanguard, a strong NAIA side, at home a few days after they return is no easy game either.  If the Sagehens can be competitive and maybe steal a result or two over these three games, that would be great for their strength-of-schedule, but the biggest takeaway might be getting them more quickly up to speed for SCIAC conference play.  Last year, after an easy 8-0 victory to start the season against a weak opponent, they lost four in a row.

I think Vanguard is jumping to PacWest with an even strong school in Westmont.  That is a D2 conference.

Wonder if he is returning to the east side of the country.

Well done Kevin Brenner.  He was never giving his space at Eastern. Quality program.  Quality Coach..

Kind of an interesting one - Kevin Brenner from La Salle to Haverford...as the Interim.

Brenner will do a great job with Haverford.  He is a very good recruiter.  Go Fords.

Maxx Wurzburger, Associate Head Coach (whatever that is) at Montclair State, leaves to become Assistant Coach at D1 Rider, who incidentally just hired Chad Duernberger (Dartmouth Assistant) as their head coach in January.

Do coaches experience the same jump process as players.  Meaning they have to adjust to speed?  Why go from HC for Asst?

As far as style, which D3 schools have a more possession style of soccer and how does that compare to D1.  May sound like an odd question as college at all levels is physical and sometimes more route 1.

They got it just about right and maybe they could have left 1 out going by the criteria.  Doing an "in hindsight" exercise is moronic.  They don't pick teams by watching games.  They have a set of statistics and criteria to go by.

Just a question.  No need to get all protective  and angry

I'm not interpreting that as protective and angry.  I think PAclassic89 was just stating the facts.  Plus, do you change your own opinion now that we all realize Williams is through to the Final Four?

I have been rooting for Williams all year.  I just do not think the NESCAC was a powerhouse conference this year.

So did the decision makers give to many bids to the NESCAC... just asking as a "in hindsight"?
