2026 D3 Men's Soccer National Perspective

[stlawus]

UW-Superior is the top UMAC team and has taken on good WIAC teams (tied Eau Claire) and a host of MIAC teams, so this result is perhaps not a huge surprise.

#3 SLU ties Ithaca
#4 Rowan ties #13 Montclair, albeit a come from behind tie late, against a good team.
#8 W&L loses to Randolph Macon
Yesterday #5 St. Olaf tied Wisconsin-Superior

I would have picked none of these results the day before.

Which is why I am terrible at picking results.  The only one that I give a little grace to is Rowan.  Montclair is really coming into it's own and has been playing well.  But St. Olaf?  W&L? 

SC.

Superior's best win is against the 180th ranked team on Massey. There are few easy games, but it's definitely more than a little surprise.

GO SPARTANS!!!

Scranton with 5 consecutive 1-0 league wins.  Opponents probably going out of their minds playing them.

at the buzzer

The buzzer in this case was metaphorical--making it very difficult for the ref to determine if the ball crossed the line before time expired. This got me thinking that most college games I have attended (across all divisions) don't seem to have an actual buzzer when the clock hits zero. Am I imagining this?

Most places the PA announcer counts down the final 10 seconds each half. Does anyone know the actual rule about having or not having an actual buzzer sound . . . eh, at the buzzer?

There needs to be a signal, which is either a horn/buzzer, or the timekeeper saying zero in the countdown.
