Mammoths on an amazing run, everything changed when they put Hoefer up as single striker. Played 19 minutes of OT with PK in mind and almost got one at the end. Clearly had the better GK, never been a fan of GK guessing and that was the difference, Kreitzer is a wait and react. Never understood why GK guess in PK, but read and react during the flow. Potentially could host two weekends.

ODAC won't take CNU or UMW since they are VA public and ODAC is all private. The best fits for all three is either NJAC or SUNYAC. They are outliers since there are little or no D3 publics in the mid Atlantic or South. Similar schools in PA are D2.

No, they don't reset, but cutoff goes  up to 8.

If Plattsburgh of Buffalo State wins sunyac, conference gets three teams in.

Does anyone know if any Amherst players will be out vs Williams due to a fifth YC? Someone has to be close!

NESCAC soccer isn't pretty, but they have won 8 of the last 11 tournaments and have had a team in 10 of 11 semis. Last possession oriented team to win was Messiah.

That physical, more direct style has reaped rewards year after year in D-3, as evidenced by the NESCAC's dominance. Personally, I prefer the more technical style of Trinity, but you simply can't argue with that style's success.

Tufts looking to lock this down, classic NESCAC soccer. Excellent on set pieces and play low scoring games all season

Curious as to thoughts on the NCAA OT policy as it relates to the 22-23 season. As we all know the NCAA eliminated OT in regular season therefore resulting in a significant numbers of tied matches. Secondly (I may be wrong about this) but dropping sudden victory and having two full OT periods seems to have resulted in too many matches that went to PKs which I'm sure many agree is not the best way to end a match. I believe there were 5 matches determined by PKs in 21-22 and so far after two rounds we have already seen 10 this year in tournament.
