D3 Regional Rankings and Bracketology

Re: D3 Regional Rankings and Bracketology

probably true. Meneghin had developed into a great D3 player...as a club player and at Gunnery [a D2 prep team...not exactly Nobles] she was solid but not by any means a standout....I think a lot of what she has done at Plattsburgh has to do with her drive to get better, the fact that she plays with talented girls, and maybe most important....her improved fitness level.

And don't forget superior coaching. I've seen him lift the skills of MANY players over their four-year tenure. One of the best examples is his current assistant coach. She was a middle of the road Junior player before going to Plattsburgh and blossomed under Houle's coaching.

That says a lot about your "college lady"...good grief....for those with a brain [i.e. the folks who actually run this country]...Believe me, they sure as heck know what the NESCAC is...and they probably attended one of them. When you say you don't know what a Williams [or Amherst, Bowdoin, etc.] is...believe me...the guy/gal is saying to themselves...."humm, dealing with an idiot here". Sorry, but that's the truth, like it or not.

I'm not defending her in anyway, like I said...I was surprised. But at the same time, 80% of our kids that go to college go to ASU, U of A or Northern Arizona or a local community college. 10% go military. The ones that go out of state generally are athletes that are going to D2 schools somewhere with scholarships or they go to school in California. Most of our students don't look east coast unless they have sports offers or are really really smart and are going Ivy. We've had full rides to Princeton and Harvard. She focuses on where the kids want to go. It was funny because she had a Minnesota-Duluth poster hanging in her office for awhile.
