Williams/ NESCAC

I know it looks like I've been giving Williams a lot of hate on this blog but they really are a pretty solid team. However, they have absolutely no resume this year. That becomes a problem when you aren't going to win your conference, as Williams is likely not going to. Right now, Williams' signature win is an 8-1 drubbing of Vassar. This--if you consider that Vassar only has two players on its team capable of producing points--is not Pool C worthy. Also hurting their case is a 5-4 loss to NC Wesleyan, and now a second loss against a mid-level top 10 team.

Next weekend they play Bowdoin. The loser of this match will get the #4 seed, and a matchup with Trinity (CT) in the NESCAC Quarters. That is a huge trap match for any team to be playing, especially one that will need another big win to shore up their postseason chances in the later rounds.
