Rowan lost to Haverford today. 2-0

[SKUD]

Typed it all out and deleted.

coaches perceptions are their reality. Some head scratchers fosho!

[kansas hokie]

Denison ties tonight; Rowan lost; who is next week's #1?

3 untied and unbeated teams behind those two.

Emory is #3 - two weaker opponents this weekend, is winning by larger margins enough?
Trinity is #4 - @ Hardin Simmons on Thursday; Christopher Newport Friday, win both and jump Emory?
Augsburg is #5 - nice win over G Aldophus tonight, weaker St. Mary's team ahead, is it enough to jump both?

Reaching #1 in the poll would be a nice achievement for any of these programs right now.
