Congratulations Trinity!

Just to clear things up for those of you who actually want to acknowledge, understand, comprehend, and learn about the system that creates the DIII Mens Championship field, 1 loss by your team, 1 win by your team, 1 loss by another team, 1 win by another team, and simply just sitting idle and having other teams around you win and or lose 1 game CAN and DOES significantly determine your rank/position in the field due to the criteria the committee uses and the fact most teams in the Top 8-10 are so close ONE loss and/or win CAN and DOES change things...add in upsets in conference tournaments and on the flip side the predicted teams winning, it can free up and or eliminate Pool C bids and reshuffle the teams in the running for a Pool C bid.

...and to add more to what Prez said, Trinity's Coach acknowledged their SOS hurt their chances at the tournament last year and a major reason why they are upping their NC schedule (we've already heard Trinity to Norwich Tourn.)

Zzzzzzzz.

I never read your posts anymore, because there's no point on doing so. I will assume that you were attempting to parse the data in such a way that favors PSU, as per usual. (As if Platty deserved home-ice vs. Trinity, FCS!)

The significant data has favored Trinity for two straight years, even if the NCAA shunned them last year for no apparent reason.

And, if no other reason than that, I'm glad that Trinity won the little tournament and made the D-3 process look idiotic yet again. (As if they needed any help doing so.)

It came down to Plattsburgh and Norwich in the 2014 tournament in which certain criteria were weighted and given to Norwich for Pool C. Plattsburgh won the AQ bid in 2015 and in doing so had a criteria lead on Trinity, thus giving them the home ice game. It's not hard to understand....well for most....

This is what confuses people. You spew your bogus "significant" data speech but guess what, it means as much as you......**crickets**.... what's "significant" is the criteria the Selection Committee uses, not what Fishwoman thinks they should use....hence why some of us actually take the time to explain things, and not it should / shouldn't be. Instead you'd rather confuse people and try to get them to believe your way is the way things are decided.....

FYI The "significant" data had a SOS so rock bottom for Trinity, it kept them out....as has been stated over and over and over, but yet you still don't comprehend.......

The KRACH weighs SOS and W% above all else, as well it should, and Trinity was easily the top team in the East in that regard. The NCAA's BS rankings had no integrity in the net, respecting neither criteria. Go ahead and love them if you want, but the NCAA just does what it wants, clearly, and without an ounce of accountability required of them. Their "rankings" are not worth the paper they're printed on.

You have proven time and time again that you have no grasp on what constitutes a meaningful set of statistics. Just because the NCAA has a set of plastic "rules", doesn't mean that its rules have any merit, do you understand that? And how does your little mind account for Trinity dropping from #1 in their silly rankings to out of the picture entirely, if that's what you take for gospel?

As per usual, you grasp at straws and have no leg to stand-on in either argument. But I wish you a good off-season anyway.

Trinity looked to dominate in large stretches, they always had a guy in front of the net to bury rebounds were a very fast team. Defensively their guys weren't afraid to use their bodies to block shots, they kept Point's shots to the outside and protected their goaltender, overall they looked like the better team.

When I saw them v. Utica they didn't look especially fast, but man-oh-man did they take care of their own end. Really disciplined and well-coached. A pleasure to watch.

yes in the small amount I watched that was evident as well.
 
Re: Congratulations Trinity!

Watching online it looked like they played great D-zone when they had the lead. If they lost the lead they turned the great D-zone into great offense, would regain the lead and focus back on D. I was impressed with their ability to really push on offense when needed and how great they were at shutting things down in the D-zone.

They always looked in control of the game.
