Hear me out. After back to back loses to Tufts and Amherst, Ham just edged Lynchburg 16-15 in the mustang classic. I was definitely not expecting such a performance against a ranked team. However, shoutout Peter Canterino and Ford Collins, two beauties from NJ getting the job done on the defensive side of the ball. Big Pete held Finn Schmidt totally scoreless, and will be in the hotel later tonight with his mom, main bird, sister and auntie, in that order. And yes, Finn will be watching from the cuck chair in a chastity cage. Hamilton has solid offensive contribution from all over the field, plenty of depth even with Lynchburg trying to get all up in Thomas Healys grill and shut him off. Hamilton showed off their depth and proved to be the team that simply wanted it more, coming back from a 2 goal deficit deep in the third .
Bowdoin had a heck of a game against Conn, freshman stud Casey Ryan gaped their entire defense with a 6 geno 2 apple outing. He'll be munching plenty of box and hitting the slopes tonight. Solid performance from the FOGO's, Ethan Barnard has been out for the past 2 games but Beau Burns has been showing up and putting on.
Tufts is nothing too special without last years offense. They lost to RIT, not surprised there. I see them being overrated and losing in Nescac's but making the tournament anyway.
Amherst only beat Colby by 5 and that's honestly pretty sketch from what should be a stacked mammoths squad. They did just beat Swat, so can't give them too much hate, prolly still recovering. Colby is ass, how they beat Conn a few days is almost beyond me, but Conn isn't a good team, just a mid team.
Salisbury is likely going to win it all. But everyone probably knows that, they are 7-0, they ran a train on pretty much everyone so far and aren't slowing down. They have lots of depth, and weapons literally everywhere on the field. It's always snowing in Salisbury Maryland, the fellas gonna feast.
Stevenson used to be good at one point in time, but I guess there is a reason why hella guys from class of 2025 trasnferred their first year.
Williams losing to Wesleyan wasn't expected, but the beauties from NJ had a hand in 5/10 goals Williams scored. 3 were scored by Pearse Glavin unassisted, but he's from Delco which is just as gritty as Jerz. Still inconsistent but if they refine a few details, they could be a real threat.
Wesleyan proved that they can go blow for blow with some legit teams. Good for them. Dirty birds sneaky could be the best in the 'Cac.
Dickinson is gross. Matt Thurston and Skyler Schluter are ballers. Both from public high schools in NJ, and are some of the most productive players on a nasty team in the second best conference in d3.
Beloit beat Earlham, maybe Kevin Lerg will let them see a few soft 6s at the bar this weekend, and they'll get some momentum.
So there you have it gentleman, some big tilt next weekend and in the weekdays so stay tuned for some good matchups as some of these teams will get tested for real.
