First time watching Wesleyan today.  What an impressive back 3 and double pivot. If this group continues this form it will likely be a long bus ride home for the Profs tomorrow.

2nd round upsets, pick 3...

CNU over Lynchburg
Rowan over Wesleyan
Edgewood over Augsburg

and I don't think Wash U over chicago should count as an upset since they just beat them a week ago with only 10 men for 75 minutes of the match.

CNU beating Lynchburg as an upset. Hmmm, pretty evenly matched teams, imo. Both have been playing really well.

The second round is full of fairly even matchups, but Lynchburg is top seed in this region and #4 in NPI, losing at home to CNU would have to be called an upset. Lynchburg is clear favorite, but yes, the gap isn't huge.

biggest 2nd round favorites? I'd say Trinity (TX Lutheran), Conn College (Babson), and Bowdoin (U-Mass Boston)

the rest are all narrow differences but I'd call Lynchburg one of the strongest favorites left.

Texas Lutheran won't be easy for Trinity, especially if they play like they did against Whitman.  Trinity beat TLU back on 9/12, but it was only 1-0 on an 87th minute goal.

I am really interested in the Scranton team- been following them from a distance all year. My son got an offer from them earlier this year but decided to go elsewhere. Great defense and scoring some goals- excited to see how far they go.

Tufts vs. Brandeis now live, with the winner punching their ticket to the S16 vs. Messiah. Will we finally get the Tufts-Messiah match-up we've been waiting for?

Mr_November

Always make a point to tune in to Babson games during the NCAAs. Thoroughly enjoy the intensity and ugency with which they play.

And as I'm typing this, a wonderful, delightful chest-down, spin, and finish from Babson. 1-1 with Conn.
