Henry Brown in National Championship game. Has been a great move for him moving to Tufts. From a LL standpoint hopefully we don't see too many more leave teams.

I think Hobart winning combined with Cortland losing gives Hobart a home game this weekend. Ranked top 20 prior to this weekend and added a LL Championship and along with an undefeated season think is enough to give Hobart a game in Geneva this weekend

Best two teams are in the finals.

RPI also had single digit results and only 1 lone LL win which is super surprising based on how strong SLU and RPI have been in this league over the years. Very unusual for both these programs to be down this year. RPI only has two wins in LL in last two years in fact.

Another tie for Hobart today in non-league game against Buffalo State. Hobart struggling to score goals (1 goal last three games) of late makes this weekends game much more interesting vs. RPI with the regular season championship on the line. Depending on how Vassar does in their last two this week makes Hobart needing to score some goals. Three ties in a row. Vassar could sneak in and win this thing.

Skidmore v Vassar this weekend is a key game in terms of LL regular season championship and home field in playoffs. Both trail Hobart but it's close with 1 or 2 league games remaining after this Saturday. Loser of this game probably also loses chance of semi-final home game.

Hobart at #11 in NPI d3 National rankings released today heading into this weekends huge home game vs Vassar. LL could possibly get two berths to NCAA this season depending on what happens in LL playoffs. That hasn't happened in years I don't believe.

League looking like it goes thru Geneva. Hobart looking good at 4-0-1 in LL after win at Ithaca. Statesman have Skidmore and Vassar both at home over next 10 days. Two huge games based on current standings.

That was a beat down. I've seen SLU play the last few years and never saw a SLU team not play with any passion like today. To me that's on the players. Especially in a rivalry game vs Hobart.

Hobart with a 3-0 start. Looks like Vassar and Hobart are looking like the LL faves as we inch closer to league play.

Hobart-William Smith Women's team plays Emory in the National Final Four this weekend out in Las Vegas. This is their 12th Final Four appearance. Coach Wilber is in her 44th season, amazing. She has built an incredible program in Geneva!

My feeling, but just judging off recent teams over the past few seasons and I'll use these teams because they have all been recent LL champs but Vassar, Hobart and SLU would finish somewhere similar to where Hamilton and Bowdoin finished this season 7th-8th range but ahead of the usual bottom 3 (Bates, Colby and Trinity). Just based on recent teams don't think they would finish with those top 6 NESCAC teams over a regular season. From SUNYAC I do think Cortland and Oneonta would be able to finish somewhere in that 3rd to 6th range in that league standings.

3 of the 4 teams in the Final Four from NESCAC. Now you see why they had 8 teams in the tournament. Best conference in men's D3 and it's not really close. If SLU, Hobart or Vassar were in that conference year in and year out what do you realistically think there conference record would be?

Hard to tell where teams in LL stand for next year at this point.  This new D1 roster cap for next season is going to make many D1 players available to transfer to D3 schools as they may not have a home at their D1 schools any longer. Coaches will have to tell 5-6 players they do not have a roster spot. Curious to see which LL teams are able to dip into that pool. I assume strong academic schools in NESCAC and UAA conferences or schools with great facilities have a huge advantage with these kids but D3 rosters will definitely change dramatically including many LL teams as there will be an influx of D1 kids looking for new home to play. This is big factor for next year and going forward. I assume the D1 transfer portal is massive this year. That being said this will make it very difficult for D3 players making the jump to D1 if they are thinking of transferring. Big changes.

Totally agree that removing OT from the regular season has taken away from the excitement of games. Too many teams just packing it in & way too many games end in ties. Golden goals like in the SLU game today are fantastic.
Congrats to both Vassar & SLU. We're the best two teams in LL this year and should be a great game Sunday.
