York lose out after being defeated 2-1 by Stevenson. Stevenson will play Messiah in the MAC Final on Saturday. Anyone know if Stevenson has ever made the NCAA tournament?

Yes, Scranton is a lock for NCAA, especially when the Drew match counts as a tie for NPI.

Thanks, takes out the sting a bit from early exit.

Well, this was a fun distraction. The short answer is I don't know. But going back through 1995, the answer is "no, unless it happened before 1995."

They won the NEAC in 2005, going 11-0 in conference. But I guess that wasn't good enough to make the field.
In 2010, they won the ECAC championship and that, too, did not garner a bid.

It's a very feast or famine program, at least over the last 20 years. I highlighted a few of the better seasons above, but in most recent years: 4-10-5 in 2023 and 3-10-6 last year.

Making the conference finals is undoubtedly one of their better years in recent memory. Goes without saying that beating Messiah would be fairly unprecedented.

Fascinating! Thanks for taking a deep dive, Hop92...how do you think Stevenson will fare against the Falcons on Saturday?

[Hopkins92]

No idea, Mr. Nov! :-)

I've barely watched my own team this season, let alone other squads. I watched about 20 minutes of Messiah beating Hood and I will say... They looked remarkably composed and dangerous in the final 3rd. If someone forced me to put money on the table, even without watching a minute of Stevenson this year, I'd put money on Messiah playing at Grantham. That is a very daunting venue.

Hop v. Dickinson for the CC championship.

Over in the NPI thread I see that a PK win by Hop gets both teams into the tourney. Interesting.
