Credit to Bowdoin as they built a cushion that the Knights could not overcome.
Announced attendance was 3277......D3 record.
That policy is really crazy....there were six people on our side of the arena when the game started, including USVenture Jim and myself.Congrats on the record courtesy of a looney NCAA attendance reporting policy.
The baseline for Norwich women's games in a doubleheader with the men is now 1000.

End of the year predictions.
1 UWRF (I expect RF will sweep Marian and CSS..I think they take at least 3 from LFC at the Hunt.) Finishing with 33 or 34 points.
2 Lake Forest (will sweep Finlandia, beat Concordia, get at least 3 from SNC, and get maybe 1 from River Falls) Finishing with between 30 and 32 points
)3. Adrian(wins out sweeping concordia and Marian. They would need Lake Forest to lose 3 of their 7 remaining games to move up into 2nd which is possible, but doubtful IMO) 29pts
3. UWS-(wins out sweeping SNC, UWSP, and FIN...the first two will be challenging sweeps, but i have faith!) 29 points--lose tiebreakers to Adrian
5. UWSP-(beats Marian, gets swept by UWS, takes at least 2pts from SNC) 23 or 25 points
6. CSS-(splits with Eau Claire, gets swept by River Falls, sweeps Marian) 20 points
6. UW-EC (sweeps Concordia and Marian, splits with CSS) 20 points--loses tie breaker on head to head score
8. SNC(gets swept by UWS and LFC, splits with UWSP) 17 points
The only way Concordia gets in is they win out...sweeping Eau Claire and Adrian and beating Lake Forest. The odds of that happening are slim to none...if that happened it would knock Eau Claire out of the play-offs. Marian and Finlandia are definitely out.
I made a big assumption in Superior winning out...as unpredictable as they've been that is doubtful. Regardless it looks like it will be UWS/UWSP in the first round for the 3rd straight year...just depends on whether it is in Superior or Stevens Point.
UWS can do no better than 4th(with tiebreakers); same with Stevens Point.
The real interesting team to watch is Lake Forest...can they go into River Falls tied and make a run for the title?
Thoughts??
Not sure I agree with all of your picks above. There is much more parity in the league this year. No game is a given, except maybe poor Finlandia. Even Marian is much improved this year. And, the mighty River Falls is not as good this year as in the past. St. Scholastica can be very good, and Lake Forest seems to be running on all cylinders. I think it is still too early to call the order of how teams will finish.
I did want clarify one thing. You have to go back to the '09-'10 season to see UWS/UWSP in the first round of playoffs. Last year and the previous year, UWSP faced Adrian at Adrian, and UWS faced SNC and Lake Forest, respectively. All I can say is that I hope Point wins enough games so that it doesn't have to go back to Adrian again ... that drive is a real test of one's patience.
