Well folks, it's that time. Yes indeed, it's time for the NCAA Tournament. We will travel to Queens College tomorrow for our round of 64 match versus Coach Canner's Adelphi University Panthers.As the #1 seed in the bracket, we face off versus the Cannermen who sneaked in as the #8 seed squeaking by Chestnut Hill College in somewhat of a surprise to me. Match time is 2pm. In the event of rain, the match will be played indoors at our house in Bronxville, NY.
Adelphi played to a 9-7 record this season and fell 5-0 to Bentley University in the NE-10 semifinal. Of course we are familiar with the Panthers as we were both long time members of the ECC/NYCAC prior to this year's adjustments. Last season we coasted by AU 9-0 in a match in which we played shorthanded. With any good fortune, we will have a similar result tomorrow and advance to the regional final to play the winner of the #4 Merrimack vs. #5 Philadelphia contest. The winner of the regional final will advance to the National final 16 to be played in Orlando, FL. Last year we advanced to Orlando and lost in the National semi-final to Barry University.
I really hope the magic bus travels all the way to the National Championship next week.
Wish us well.Nuff said.
Focus! Pay attention! We can do this!
