does anyone think that a 10 loss team can get an at large bid?
Me neither.

Well what a week to say the least. Carthage is doing carthage things earlier in the season this year. Is there a chance they may not make the NCAA tournament this year? But, seriously why are they ranked so high every year? Is it because of all their amazing small americans? Next lets talk about New Paltz. Radu must be going senile because some of his coaching decisions were very questionable. I think at one point he saw steve woessner in the stands and tried to sub him in, sadly they were all out of subs. Since Hunter won they now own the rights of being the hawks while new paltz has been downgraded to the new paltz pigeons. Lastly springfield dropping a set to a scrappy st joes team. They must've felt inferior to kyle biggers mustache and shut down mentally. Maybe this is the year there are more horses in the NCAA D3 championship race.

Toughest week of rankings I have had to do yet. With so much shake up- decided to really put an emphasis on big wins to determine who lands where.
1. Springfield: Biggest Win- Vassar Losses: None 2. Stevens: Biggest Win- Stevenson Losses: Kean (#6) 3. Dominican: Biggest Win- North Central Losses: None 4. Stevenson: Biggest Win- Benedictine Losses: Stevens (#2) 5. Benedictine: Biggest Win- Carthage Losses: Stevenson (#4) 6. Kean: Biggest Win- Stevens Losses: NCC (#9) & Endicott (#10) 7. New Paltz: Biggest Win- NCC Losses: Hunter (#12) 8. Carthage: Biggest Win- LBC Losses: Benedictine (#5) 9. North Central: Biggest Win- Kean Losses: Stevens (#2) Domincan (#3) Stevenson (#4) New Paltz (#7) Cal Lu (Unranked) 10. Endicott: Biggest Win- Kean Losses: Stevens (#2) & Stevenson (#4) 11. Lancaster Bible: Biggest Win- MSOE Losses: Carthage (#8) & Lakeland (Unranked) 12. Hunter: Biggest Win- New Paltz Losses: Stevenson (#4) Kean (#6) Messiah (Unranked) 13. Southern Virginia: Biggest Win- Elms Losses: Stevenson (#4) 14. Vassar: Biggest Win- NYU Losses: Springfield (#1) New Paltz (#7) Arcadia (RV) 15. Juniata: Biggest Win- Nazareth Losses: Kean (#6)
Also Receiving Consideration: Arcadia, St. Joe's (LI), St. John Fischer, Elms
Stray Thoughts If midwest continues to to cannibalize each other, Stevenson put themselves in nice position with a number of quality wins on early season trip. Carthage did themselves a service with win over LBC when Miller did not play. Speaking of LBC, still undefeated with Miller in lineup. Kean & JC was very well played match last Friday. Specifically sets 1 & 2. Wish JC had more quality opponents on schedule. Why is Endicott not playing? Hunter set themselves up with nice win over NP. Don't compete against ranked team until 3/16. No potential losses until 3/2 tri with Rutgers Newark and Marymount.
Upcoming Matchups of Intrigue (Currently Ranked or Receiving Votes in Past Few Weeks): Springfield vs. Elms & Elmira 2/16 Stevens vs. NYU 2/13 Stevens vs. LBC 2/16 Domincan vs. MSOE 2/15 Stevenson vs. Arcadia 2/16 Benedictine vs. NCC 2/15 Kean vs. New Paltz 2/16 Carthage vs. MSOE 2/16 Endicott vs. Naz 2/16 SVU vs. Juniata 2/15 Vassar vs. MIT 2/16

Kean does kean things tonight and gets embarrassed by D1a NJIT How is Kean losing to a D1 school embarrassing? 24-26, 17-25, 21-25 doesn't quite scream embarrassment...

DId you watch the match? I did and it was embarrassing. No commitment and no fight and a lot of quit. Kean is actually probably better than that d1 team but played horribly tonight. For what it’s worth they got swept, Didn’t take a set and led in two of three sets. And they lost 17-25 in the second. That all adds up to embarrassing.

Kean losing to a D1 team that is way better than them in 3 is not embarrassing and is not Kean doing Kean things. They have had and will have plenty of embarrassment, but this isn’t one of them.

Kean gets a lot of #$@% but this was a Monday match with absolutely nothing on the line. We could ask why is Division I NJIT playing so may Division III schools.
