Down the Stretch

[upprdeck]

vs the top 5 teams

Quin has Princ (2x) Cornell/Dart/Harvard
Cornell has Quin/Princ
Dart has Harv/Quin/Princ and 1 less game
Princ has Quin (2x) Cornell/Harvard/Dart
Harv has Dart/Princ/Quin and 1 less game

Need to handle the teams from 6th on down to get this done.

Princeton has really hit the skids.  If we restrict to the top 4, there are four meetings:

2/06 Drt @ Hvd
2/20 Cor @ Qpc
2/27 Qpc @ Drt
2/28 Qpc @ Hvd

While I don't think Princeton's in danger of stealing a bye slot, I do think they're capable of stealing a game from the top four. Let's hope that game is against Quinnipiac.

[Trotsky]

Oh, surely.

The top 4's non-wins "in network" and "out of network":

Qpc (2 losses, 1 tie): ∅, {@Yal, @Uni, @Clk}
Cor (3 losses): {@Drt, Qpc}, {@Clk}
Drt (4 losses, 1 tie): {@Qpc, @Cor}, {@Prn, Clk, @Cgt}
Hvd (5 losses): {Cor, @Qpc, @Drt, @Cor}, {Prn}

Spoilers:

Clarkson (3)
Princeton (2)
Colgate (1)
Union (1)
Yale (1)
Brown (0)
RPI (0)
St. Lawrence (0)


11 of the 15 top 4 non-wins have come on the road.

[upprdeck]

Clarkson only has 6 wins but 3 came vs the top 4 teams.

A great amplifier of our success has been our ability to avoid the "bad loss."  We have just the Clarkson game, and 2 of our peers lost to them too.
