NESCAC

[paclassic89]

MASSIVE Nescac weekend ahead of us. My predictions:

Bowdoin 2-1 Trinity
Wesleyan 0-0 Williams
Tufts 3-1 Bates
Amherst 4-0 Penn State Harrisburg (really Amherst? is that what your scheduling has come to??)
Conn College 2-2 Hamilton
Middlebury 2-1 Colby (Midd doesn't have a choice but to win here)

As we move through October, the main questions left to be unanswered:

- Are Middlebury washed?
- Can Wesleyan hold on to this form?
- Are Williams now a NESCAC powerhouse after a few years of growing success?
- Is Tyler "Huck Tua" the best player in the league?
- Who has the best defense in the league?
- Is this the most open the league has been in recent years?

The Amherst vs PSU-Harrisburg game was cancelled

Big win for Conn against RIC last weekend. I thought this game could've gotten a bit dicey for them, given their recent form, but I was glad to see them pull it together in the 2nd half. It's going to be a difficult trip for the Camels out to Clinton. However, I think/hope that if they can put all the pieces together, they will be able to walk away with a precious point. This is a big match-up for both these teams to see if either squad can gather some momentum to hopefully snatch a 7/8 seed spot in the NESCAC tournament. Will have my eyes on this one for sure.

The Amherst vs PSU-Harrisburg game was cancelled

Anybody know why?

Wesleyan Whales leverage only two shots on frame to earn another "fluke"!

Middlebury with a solid 4-0 win over Colby today, and it could have been much more.  Big game next week against Tufts.

Hartford 1 - Trinity CT 0

Trinity loses to its cross-town rival on a PK in the 68th minute, despite out-shooting Hartford 14-5.

Hartford was ranked #268 in the NPI from 10/5.  Trinity, however, was ranked #62 under the latest NPI.  So, this will be a bad loss for Trinity and they will drop in the rankings.  It could also hurt Trinity's NESCAC opponents that have tied (counted as half-losses) Trinity if Trinity slides further.

WC hits the inside of the post with 10 seconds left but the ball stays out.  Game ends 3-3.  Nickolas Santana from WC scores 2 goals to give him 15 on the year. He caused fits for the Williams defenders, running at and beating them with ease. Very enjoyable player to watch.
