Quick Thoughts:
Amherst, Up 4 Spots – The readers got their wish! After Amherst beat Middlebury in the NESCAC championship by a decisive margin, the bloggers decided to move them up in the rankings. Let it be known that I previously had them at #3, but now they’re at #2 for me. I’m just ahead of the curve. Not like that’s my Finals Prediction or anything… or is it…
Whittier, Up 3 Spots – I’d like to give Whittier some love after their first 3rd place finish in the SCIAC tournament. Great job Poets for keeping your heads high and finishing out your season on a really strong note. You beat two teams that were participated at Indoor Nationals this year, which is an accomplishment. I’m looking forward to your second year under Coach Belletto and I’m sure there are more things to come.
Do your worst, readers! Good luck to all in the NCAA Tournament. ASouth, OUT.
