[Mr.Right]

Not many Saturday Night games this week-end and usually I go out on Saturday night but not this week-end...I am begging / hoping that 7:30pm Rutgers Newark / Rutgers Camden game is getting a live stream

Rutgers Newark has an excellent video feed.

Excellent I will be def tuning in at 7:30pm

Newark highlights vs Stevens video quality = Great
Music selection = ehhh not good

Video quality was EXCELLENT....Replays and everything...RUN looks very dangerous especially on set pieces. GK made a nice PK save however on the replay you could tell the Stevens kicker hips gave away where he was headed...Still a great win for RUN over a Stevens team that better win the Empire 8 IMO...RUN looks very fast on that carpet...Should be a good game tonight between Rutgers Newark and Rutgers Camden.  RUN still playing for possible Pool C and RUC I think playing to get into NJAC playoffs or have they qualified?

[lastguyoffthebench]

Camden Must get a win in last two games to qualify... Newark would miss out if they fall to 4-4-1.   TCNJ can steal the 6th seed. 


Camden last game vs Stockton

Newark at MSU

TCNJ at Rowan

[Mr.Right]

TCNJ up 4-2 on William P. at the 70 minute mark..If this score holds then they would be tied with RUC for that 6th spot  in NJAC...NOt sure how they do the tiebreakers but TCNY beat RUC 1-0 earlier this season.  This makes for just a BATTLE tonight between RUC and RUN..Is it fair to assume the ref will lose control? Cards will be flying? lots of goals? hard tackles and fouls? Just your regular Jersey type game....Lastguy how do you predict thus game will be played?  How will RUC come out

[lastguyoffthebench]

It's only a matter of time before Camden starts finishing opportunities.  I think this one will be Camden keeping shape and controlling the pace.  If they fall behind, they will lose... Must defend restarts better.  3-1 Camden with their back against the wall.


#4 Salisbury draws vs Frostburg St and #5 Kean loses.

[lastguyoffthebench]

A Rutgers-Newark loss will really shuffle the regional rankings.


MSU, Stockton, Rowan will remain top 3

[lastguyoffthebench]

Chippy game, and like that... Rutgers-Newark is in some trouble.   With a TCNJ win over Rowan, Newark cannot lose or their season will be over...

[lastguyoffthebench]

Teams that could crack into the NCAA Rankings:

Emory                   8-4-2  .576 last ranking  (D vs CMU and W vs B-S)
Frostburg St      10-4-2   .553 and should bump up with Salisbury draw
Randolph             9-3-3   .558 last ranking should go down to about .540ish
Rutgers-Camden 9-7-1   .589 last ranking and should improve with Swat L and Newark W
York                    9-6-2    .575 last ranking and should drop with two easy Ws

CNU to drop out, Kean to drop to 7-8 with an 0-2 week vs Rowan and Stockton...

Rutgers-Newark with a big win over Stevens Tech and loss to Camden should see them drop to 5 or 6.


Week 2 Predictions
1.  Montclair St
2.  Stockton
3.  Rowan
4. Salisbury (don't see them dropping with Kean losing to #2 Stockton and #3 Rowan
5. Rutgers-Newark (benefit from Kean's 2 losses.  Win over #2 Stevens is a big result), Stronger SOS but LOST to KEAN.
6. Kean (won't be penalized too much for dropping to #2 Stockton and #3 Rowan this week)
7. TCNJ (won't move but SOS will decrease with Ws over NJCU and WPU
8. Rutgers-Camden (win over Rowan and Newark; losses to Salisbury, Kean and TCNJ, Draw vs CNU)
9. Emory/CNU/Frostburg St/York/Randolph

Huge week for W&L. Wednesday weather permitting they are at Randolph and Saturday they host Roanoke as final jockeying begins for the ODAC tournament. W&L's only conference blemish so far is the tie at Lynchburg, so these games could make a huge difference. Both opponents have easier games with Shenandoah/H-SC on the docket, but also more blemishes, as Randolph has 3 ties and Roanoke is 6-2-1 in conference. Staying home for the ODAC tournament would be a big boost to W&L's AQ hopes and I believe not losing to Randolph will ensure the Generals the regular season crown.

Anyone with insights into how York (PA) turned their season around from a 2-6-1 start to now stand at 9-6-2 and in first place in the CAC?  Their streak of 4 losses in a row earlier in the season were against good teams....Hopkins, Misericordia, Messiah, Salisbury.  They had losses even earlier in the season to Gettysburg and Lycoming.  All of the Spartan losses were by 1 goal, except for a 2-0 loss to Salisbury. York is 7-0-1 since the Salisbury game.

New coach who had to get things figured out. Also a very tough stretch of games for any team and came up short more times than they hoped for. I haven't seen them play but from what I have heard they were solid from the start but just couldn't close the deal to win a game. Now they are closing out games. Impressive recovery for the Spartans.

If CNU collapses vs Marymount, failing to make the CAC playoffs, I cannot see them making NCAA tournament


Rutgers-Newark has MSU then Kean or Rowan on the road (if TCNJ doesn't beat Rowan)

There is no way CNU will make the NCAA tournament without making CAC playoffs. They are already #8 in the region with only 1 loss. No chance if they miss out on playoffs and even then they need to go deep, probably to the CAC final, to have a shot at NCAA's.

W&L up 2-1 on Randolph. Few minutes to go. Randolph down a man and committing fouls by the dozen. 23 and counting.

3-1 final. Big win at Randolph should sew up home field for W&L throughout the ODAC tourney.

This region is a mess!
