It was a game of firsts at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, MD, as Ohio picked up its first win of the year, and Chesapeake fell for the first time this season in a 12-9 Machine win. Ohio, who now stands at 1-2 on the young season, got off to a quick start, scoring two goals in the first five minutes of the game. Midfielders Tom Schreiber and Kyle…
When this bracket was first being announced, I thought the biggest shocker would be that Notre Dame was given the top seed instead of Syracuse. As the seedings and matchups rolled in, this debate faded quickly. The biggest theme to this bracket is simply the number of first round rematches, potential second round rematches, and potential 2014 tournament rematches. But first off, the seeded teams: Notre Dame (10-2) Syracuse…
Tournament time is finally here! For a field that appeared like it would be pretty straight forward, this bracket has some surprises. First off, Notre Dame took the No. 1 overall seed, edging out Syracuse which received the No. 2 seed. Syracuse has the number one RPI and the number one strength of schedule. Furthermore, Syracuse has more top five and top ten wins. While the Irish did not win…

Our Chris Jastrzembski takes one last look at the potential 2015 NCAA D1 bracket. All of the regular season games are complete. A journey that started in the fall with fall ball workouts to the first day of regular season games February 1st to now will culminate in May Madness. Yale defeated Princeton 11-10 in the Ivy League Championship. As a follow-up to my earlier prediction, here’s what I…
Seven of the NCAA’s ten Division 1 conferences decided their conference champion and AQ qualifiers Saturday, joining the ACC and the Patriot League, who decided their champion last Sunday. The Ivy League Final between Yale and Princeton is today at noon. Before watching that, here’s what happened yesterday, which might have been more entertaining than that Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight (hopefully you didn’t pay $100): American East Final: Albany crushes…
With Selection Sunday at our doorstep, the pieces have fallen into place. There are several questions remaining, but even more been answered over the last few days as the picture has become much clearer. In the end, nine of the 10 automatic qualifiers are set with eight at-large selections to be announced during Sunday evening’s Selection Show. Let’s break it down. Automatic Qualifiers Albany – America East Bryant – NEC…
In an interesting turn of events, two NCAA tournament teams will be facing off a week before the round of 16 begins. Syracuse is coming off an ACC tournament championship while Colgate just won the Patriot League. Those two wins lock up the first two automatic qualifiers available while the rest of the country plays this weekend to figure things out. What this means is that you are going to…
No disrespect to team President Jim McPhilliamy, but I think we all can agree that in a perfect world the ideal owner for the Charlotte Hounds would be Montgomery Burns if not just for the fact that he could say “release the hounds” before every game. Luckily for Charlotte they don’t need a cartoon tycoon to motivate them to score goals. The Hounds will visit the Mile High City…
