Quote from: Unionpalooza on Today at 07:28:38 PMWelp, after a self-imposed two=month suspension for being too prone to be a dick on these boards, it seems safe to return.  I'll save my thoughts on the Union season for now so I don't immediately regress.

Kudos to Ithaca for a game effort in Cortaca - based on the head to heads with Union, I thought the Bombers would get crushed, but they were in it the whole way.  I feel like Ithaca sort of missed their window this year - this was as senior-laden a team as they'll have for a while.

I'm going to miss watching Kayden White run, though not against Union. With three NESCAC teams in the playoffs and seeded in a place where they ought to host the play-in round, RPI will almost certainly get one of them one the road - likely Trinity, maybe Wesleyan.  Fitch probably plays at Amherst, with the winner going to Endicott in round two.  Eastern will head to whichever of Trinity and Wesleyan RPI does not get.  For round two, Cortland, Utica, and Springfield will all be possible for RPI.  But there is basically one too many road teams in the East for the second round, and someone is going to get shipped further west to a Baldwin-Wallace or somesuch.

Hobart is my early league favorite for 2027.

Meant Bridgewater State, not Fitchburg, likely to play Amherst.

Congrats on nabbing three conference bids.  All three teams are likely to host a first-round game — Bridgewater St. at Amherst, and RPI and Eastern at Trinity and Wesleyan.  Some folks might be suprised to see the NESCAC go 3-0 in the opening round, but I won't.
