D-I Men’s Discussion

  • Welcome Emory! After about as good a 1-4 Stanford Invite as you could have, they absolutely obliterated the field at Huck Finn, winning the tournament despite playing without Anders Olsen, one of their top playmakers, on Sunday.
  • It was also a big bounceback weekend for two former top 25 teams, Auburn and Michigan. Auburn, especially, returned to form after a woeful Warm Up. Eric Sjostrom’s return was gladly welcomed for the defending Southeast champs.
  • Massachusetts returned to the top 10 with an appearance in the final where they lost soundly to Carleton. But wins over Pittsburgh and Minnesota plant UMass back in the National semifinals conversation.
  • Big falls this week for the notable underperformers at Easterns: UNC Wilmington, Minnesota, Cal Poly SLO, and Virginia Tech. SLO’s got a built-in excuse: they were shorthanded. But the other three teams looked shaky after strong starts to the season. Most should still comfortably make Nationals, but can they rebound to their previous highs?
