Juniata’s record against D1 schools is 67-23 .742. Their record against D2 is 218-48 .820.

Wow, that's a lot of games...I know they used to regularly play Clarion during the season, but that data must be going back quite a bit...take it with a grain of salt as the lines between D1,2, and 3 were quite blurred not all that long ago...impressive nonetheless

[noreaster]

So based on NED's projected rankings, if we seeded 1-64 the regionals would be...

Juniata
Ithaca
CMS
UW Eau Claire
Transy
Plymouth State
Coe
Marymount

MIT
Salisbury
Trinity
Chicago
Carnegie Mellon
Gustavus Adolphus
Lasell
Westfield State

Johns Hopkins
Case Western
Whitworth
Stevens
William Smith
William Paterson
Edgewood
Alfred State

Emory
Wash U
Gettysburg
Centre
Gallaudet
Messiah
Allegheny
Maine Maritime

Hope
Millikin
F&M
NYU
Smith
Endicott
Cornell
Greenville

Marietta
East Texas Baptist
Wisconsin Platteville
CNU
Babson

Washington and Lee
Colby
Va Wesleyan
Springfield
UW Stevens Point
Northwestern
Asbury

UW Whitewater
UW Oshkosh
Cortland
La Verne
Middlebury
Otterbein
Wittenberg
St. John Fisher

4. Chicago
5. UW Stevens Point
6. Gustavus Adolphus
7. Cornell
8. Greenville

That has every team in the seed they deserve but that is still 9 flights and I don't see them going past 6, so some teams in the east will be seeded up, and some teams in the central will slide down a line or two, but I thought I'd share this to maybe entertain some people until Monday.

[ned3vball]

They did budget what, an extra $250K, for champions with the protected seeding, will volleyball see any of that? Have to guess no. 6 flights it is.

[ned3vball]

Emory and Chicago are in a battle.

ed: 3-1 Emory. Great D3 vball!

[d3wiiavbfan]

CUNYAC;  John Jay over Hunter 3 sets to 1!  John Jay gets the CUNYAC AQ!

[VolleyParton]

Colby sweeps Williams and Middlebury sweeps Wesleyan in the NESCAC Semis tonight. None of the sets seemed all that close tonight.

Colby will make the tournament regardless of what happens tomorrow, but I imagine they have no chance at hosting with a loss (even with a win its probably doubtful)

Happy conference championship weekend D3 world!

Interesting to see the movement this week and have access to it - stats.ncaa.org/selection_rankings/nitty_gritties/40328?utf8=%E2%9C%93&commit=Submit

multiple 2 spot movers up and down in the top 50

[ned3vball]

Top 100. A lot of Finals(37 today, 5 tomorrow, 1 done(CUNYAC - John Jay).
How will the UAA playing 3rd, 5th, and 7th place matches affect NPI? A Carnegie Mellon loss could put them in danger.
Time zone?? Updated start time? Double check your matches of interest.

Thank You richkern.com for the schedule data.

[noreaster]

William smith survived in the semi’s 15-13. Berry survives Sueanee 22-20! And Swarthmore upsets F&M also in 5!

Hunter does not survive losing in the CUNYAC finals for the first time in 7-8 years.

And it’s barely Saturday!

[d3follower]

A good day to post a Conference Tourneys (2024) reminder.
To distract from the blatant promotion, here are a couple fun facts: 34 of today's 37 finals feature a #1 seed; 22 finals begin at or before 3 p.m. (central).

[d3wiiavbfan]

ODAC Final:  W&L takes VA Wes in a 5 setter for the AQ
NACC Final:  Edgewood over Concordia-WI in 3 sets
North Atlantic:  ME-Maritime over SUNY-Cobleskill in 4 sets
Conf. of NE:  Endicott over Wentworth in 3 sets.

[ned3vball]

Middlebury wins 3-2, 16-14. Colby's consolation bid will be the first steal from the pool C contenders. Colby won set 1 easily but Midd stayed calm.

[zaichikmiller]

MAC Freedom: Stevens beats Misericordia in 5 for the bid

[setterdumper]

IL Wesleyan secures the bid for CCIW. 15-13 in the 5th!

Another consolation bid goes to Marietta. They may lose protected seeding?
