Quote from: chimpfoodConcede right before half on penn's only real chance of the game, sucks.

Great set piece by Penn, but came as a result of a suspect foul call against us. And contrary to the announcers, I thought the Penn penalty leading to our PK goal was deserved.

Penn header ties it 2-2 with 15 min left.

Inexplicable that we lose yet another key Ivy League game in crushing fashion. Just hard to fathom

That loss really hurts. I think all 3 of penn's goals came off of crosses into the box which really reflects how our team is just too small. Friedberg also really hasn't been impressive to me since his freshman year. RPI hasn't updated yet but our NCAA tournament hopes are probably down to either winning out and losing too Penn in the Ivy final or just winning the Ivy tournament.

Good assessment of our weakness. Most goals against us have come off set pieces, and we do lack size on the back end which repeatedly costs us.

College soccer RPI is a funny thing. While hockey uses a 25-25-50 calculation (record, opponents record, opponents opponents record), soccer is 25-50-25. For most of the year we have been low in rpi because we had a super low strength of schedule based on opponents record. But since Penn has a really strong record, we didn't fall very far down even after the loss today. This makes me hopeful that a strong regular season finish and meeting Penn in the Ivy playoffs should be enough to get us in to the NCAA. I would be very curious to see what the RPI would look like if it were 25-25-50 and see if that seems like it rewards better teams more than the current system.

Sounds like an all-season motor oil. The 50 number is for global warming seasons.

Road game at Brown at 7E. Shouldn't be that big a game and yet...

Ka with a second half goal for a 1-0 win. Brown had a very good chance off a throw-in with around 15 minutes left and then a very good Cornell save in the corner with 3 minutes left preserved the win. RPI instant reaction: from 23 to 22.

That win is big for the Ivy standings, not the rpi. Long as we win out the regular season it seems like we should be good for NCAAs.

of course, just curious about the effect. i didn't expect it to move much if at all.

Where are you checking the RPI? Where I'm looking it says they're at 17. Or did it just change based on other results?
