D3 18-19 season

Re: D3 18-19 season

I'm curious about how USCHO's Pairwise Rankings have River Falls and Elmira tied at 3, eventhough Elmira has a better win% and a better RPI. I thought RPI kinda took into account all of those statistical categories that the NCAA compares teams on...the OW%, OOW%, SOS, etc.

Is there someother component to the Pairwise that isn't shown other than Win% and RPI...that brings River Falls up?

Pairwise compares each team with every other team on those metrics and each time they beat a team that's in the comparison, they get a point. So in this case I believe Elmira and River Falls tie each other in PairWise points and don't beat each other.

To expand on this: the Pairwise compares <strike>Winning percentage, </strike>RPI, Head-to-head, and Common opponents. If two teams split those comparisons, the one with the higher RPI wins. In this scenario, Elmira DOES win the direct comparison with River Falls.

There is likely somebody that River Falls beats that Elmira loses to, resulting in them tying on the total number of comparisons won, even though Elmira wins the comparison between the two.

I was wondering the same thing!

Ok..thats interesting...thanks to you and Scott for clarifying!

Is there some examples of common opponents. Seems like you could have 2 pairwise polls, East and West and alternate the finals between the 2. Or are there not enough teams in the West?

I found it! Contrary to my earlier post, Winning Percentage is NOT its own criterion, but rather just part of the RPI. Elmira wins the RPI comparison against everybody but Plattsburgh and St. Thomas, so it had to be someone the Soaring Eagles lost to AND they have to beat Elmira on Common Opponents, while having no H2H or Common Opponents with UWRF... and there's one that does: Williams.

This is the result of two games: Elmira's December loss to Williams, and Elmira's November tie with Middlebury, which is the only Common Opponents blemish for either team (other common opponents are Amherst and Manhattanville, whom the two teams play next in their respective conference tournaments, so a loss for either team throws this out of whack).

Williams wins the comparison with Elmira, but loses to UWRF. This creates both the tie for 3rd AND the tie for 6th.

Am I the only one here that gets sick of only hearing about Platt, Adrian, St Thomas, Hameline, Elmira, Midd & Norwich?

Does anyone else have something to say about another team? How about this... Wilkes Goalie... 1st Team?

You seem to have two choices: write about other teams as you see fit or stop reading the board. I am a Plattsburgh alum. I live and work in Plattsburgh and I watch Plattsburgh play. I'm afraid I can't comment on the Wilkes goalie because I've never seen her (or her team) play before... Now, if you want to talk about the Cardinals...

So I’m looking at stats...Wilkes played 16 games. Ally Jolly played in 14 and the other played in 10, which means the first goaltender played 4 full games. She has a save % of .912 and a GAA of 4.77. Wilkes played 1 team with a winning record, Utica, and got beat 8-0., 3-0.

What first team should she be on?

Re: D3 18-19 season

I have to think Granato is the favorite for the Laura Hurd at this point. Torpy and Moriarty certainly have arguments, but I think it’s Granato’s unless something unexpected happen between now an championship weekend.

With the finalists always coming from the conference POYs, the pool will be:

NCHA: Rachel Anderson - F - SO - CSS
NESCAC: Meghan Halloran - F - SO - Williams
NEHC: Amanda Conway - F - JR - Norwich
CHC: Mel McAleer - F - SO - Nichols
WIAC: ??? (I'm going to guess Courtney Wittig - F - SR - UW- Eau Claire)
MIAC: Kenzie Torpy - G - SR - St. Thomas
UCHC: Katie Granato - F - SO - Elmira College

I think if they were doing this season only or a mix of career and season, Granato is the favorite. If they go solely by career, Moriarty should be favored as she has the same amount of conference championships (3 with a chance at 4 this weekend), 11 more career points, more trips to championship weekend and two NCAA championship rings to Granato's 0.

Definitely a great group of players to choose from. Whomever gets selected from the WIAC will certainly be a deserving choice as well. A name missing from the discussion is Bre Simon who is currently the overall point leader in the country, but did not not get POY from the conference. She crushes over half of the offensive field in this list. Will be interesting to see who gets the award. Whomever it is I say congrats! And to whomever does not win, I say congrats on being a finalist. You are amazing players!
