It (the pre-season poll) is here -

EXPERTLY reviewed here.

Curry appears to be the best performing "Dark Horse" with St. Olaf a close second.

Every team in this year's NCAA DIII tourney received votes in the pre-season poll, except one.............BOWDOIN. They are your "Dark Horse".

While I was referring to just those teams that received votes, Bowdoin @ 19-7-1 was certainly a top performing "dark horse" along with Curry @ 19-9-1. Including teams that didn't receive votes, my pick for coming from behind in the final stretch would have been SUNYAC Semifinalist Morrisville.

Bummer, I thought it at least hit the post :p

That was the exhibition matchup, not an NCAA recognized game, I did notice that NUProf counts it as a tie in his "NU Prof's Computer Rankings" ;)

I beg to differ - the NCAA correctly lists the Cadets season record at 24-1-4, which includes BOTH games of the Primelink, as they were played by qualified teams during the regular season. NUProf's rankings count it the same way the NCAA does. The shootout result was only used to award the Primelink trophy.

Actually, upon further review, I'll admit that it was a tie, despite the fact that Plattsburgh was really bummed out about it. I just remembered that "it's hard to beat a good team three times in one year thing." Of course it didn't work so good for Platts and Oswego, and Oswego won't get a shot at trying for four :D, because Platts will be at Bluff Point golf course on Sat. :D

I'm sorry, the "exhibition matchup" I was referring to was the Shootout, which was won by Norwich, but not recognized as occurring by the NCAA. The game itself was a tie.

My mistake. I've been trying to follow this post back through to its origins. While I still haven't found the "beginning", I caught enough to know that you weren't talking about the game itself. :o
 
Re: NCAA Semifinal: Plattsburgh vs. Norwich

As Elwood Blues :cool: might say," It's 311 miles from Kennebunk to Lake Placid. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack ofcigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. - Hit it Jake":cool:
 
Re: NCAA Semifinal: Plattsburgh vs. Norwich
