Re: 2019-20 D-III games / scores
Some good cross region match-ups today and everyone in here is quiet! A treat we haven't had in a long time. Its nice to see the schools out there traveling.
Elmira vs Eau Claire for the Lake Forest Invite Championship.
Eau Claire has looked pretty solid this year, thus far. There only loss being a tight 1-0 loss to Gustavus, who seems to be returning to form, on the road. Maybe some concerns swirling around Elmira with that big loss to Nazareth last weekend. I'm gonna go with the "home" team in a close battle. UWEC 3 Elmira 2 Link to live stream:

Then you've got the Panther/Cardinal Classic with two Western teams on the invite list, with River Falls taking Elmira's spot from last few years. Did Elmira not want to participate this year and instead chose to go to Lake Forest or did Midd/Platty kick them out?
First up you've got Adrian @ Middlebury
Adrian is undefeated on the year, granted they haven't been tested too harshly (what's going on with Hamline?) and Middlebury's just getting started. I'm gonna be the homer that I am and say Adrian wins this one 4-1.
Then River Falls vs Plattsburgh is a huge game for so early in the season. Very likely two NCAA teams and potential final 4 teams. River Falls only blemish on the year is a loss to Eau Claire and Plattsburgh has cruised its way through its cupcake schedule so far. As much as I want to pick River Falls to win this one...its hard to vote against the defending champs. But it will be nice to see how they perform against a quality team with a solid goalie. I'll go Plattsburgh 2 River Falls 1
