Probably not. With two pool B bids this year they are basically competing with Cal Lu for the second one. Springfield will take the first. The first criteria the NCAA will look at is head to head. Followed by common opponents and then strength of schedule. If UCSC can beat Cal Lu both times they play them and have a higher strength of schedule they could make a strong case. NCAA also has a history of valuing games in the latter half of the season as opposed to the start. Basically long story short is it's too early to tell. But as of right now Cal Lu has the upper hand in common opponents as they beat both Arcadia and North Central that UCSC did not. According to the NCAA Division III MVB Annual report released in December 2018 it was announced that there would be 1 Pool B 3 Pool C. Knowing that information UCSC is firmly on the outside of the bubble. The UVC 2nd place - 4th place will be in the mix. The CVC could have 3 teams in contention for an at large. Add in the Benedictine issue (are they or aren't they eligible) and you could have a real mess without even counting Carthage/North Central. UCSC has a long, long road to get to Union, NJ So TheReignman was off with the 2 B and 2 C bid post. Interesting. I also think that this hurts the likelihood for Cal Lutheran a bit. I still stand behind my post of Cal Lu having a lot of work to do to leapfrog teams in the NCAA West standings. Of the teams that finished regionally ranked in 2018, (Carthage, Kean, Marymount, Dominican, Benedictine, UCSC, Lancaster Bible, EMU and Stevenson), they play four of those teams (@ Carthage, @ Benedictine, "neutral" vs. Dominican - it is at Benedictine, and home twice vs. Santa Cruz). That Wisconsin/Illinois trip will be crucial.

Benedictine is not eligible for NACC/NCAA postseason and their players are not eligible for awards. They can win the regular season NACC title and that is it.

Really is a shame that the d3vb org site didn't have enough funding to stay up. How am I supposed to find who is playing on a particular day without going to each school's individual website?
Regardless, my take on the two matches that will be taking place today:
St. Joes LI is a very scrappy team with some good pins and a solid middle, NYU has 2 All Americans and are replacing only 1 starter at the OH position who did a great job in serve receive. I'm not sure if St. Joe's has enough firepower for this one, but I'll give them some respect. (although I would like to see them win to shake things up a bit and make things in d3 more interesting right off the bat)
NYU 3 - 1 St. Joe's
Messiah is a pretty good team, probably missing Nate Miller a little bit though. Marymount lose TJ Wiechecki but something tells me that they will be able to pull this one out.
Marymount 3 - 1 Messiah

But have been granted NCAA post season if they get an at large. Besides that, there’s no other way for them to get into the tournament

Benu men’s soccer did not get any NCAA post season due to the fact they did not receive an at large.

Looks like Stevens beat Sacred Heart 3-1. Lehmen with 20 Kills hitting in the 400's.
Marymount up 2-0 on an inferior Messiah team. Safley not looking much like an All American though, tough game so far for him. Shahan playing very well however hitting 700

St. Joseph (LI) is gonna upset #6 NYU tonight. Called it St Joseph has so much team chemistry. Most of these players have been friends since hs, and they all work great together. While yes, NYU did have a bad day i still see them being competitive later in the year. One game does not deify a team. if St Joseph wants to look like a team that could be relevant down the line they have to look competitive a win some of there non conference games. As there conference is not that competitive
