FOOTBALL

If Delaware Valley beats Albright this weekend, they are the MAC AQ.

In the case where we have a three way tie (DVC, LVC, and Albright), these would be the tiebreakers:

Head-to-head results between and among the tied teams in traditional season conference contests (not applicable).

Tied teams’ traditional season won-loss records versus conference teams starting with #1, then #2, etc. (not applicable).

Goal, point, run differential between and among the tied teams, with a maximum differential of 3 goals in soccer and field hockey, 5 runs in baseball and softball, 6 goals in lacrosse, 15 points in basketball, and 3 points in football (not likely).

Tied teams’ goal, point, run differential in conference contests starting with #1, then #2, etc. with a maximum differential of 3 goals in soccer and field hockey, 5 runs in baseball and softball, 6 goals in lacrosse, 15 points in basketball, and 3 points in football (not likely).

Overall winning percentage (all games, conference and non-conference) (favors LVC at 9-1 with win over Albright (9-1); DVC ends at 8-2)

The team that has been out of the playoffs the longest (to LVC)

Coin flip

To have a three way tie:

Albright would beat DVC this weekend and LVC defeats Lycoming.

Next weekend LVC beats Albright and DVC defeats Widener.


We seem well positioned to get a Pool C berth (if anyone in East Region gets one) based on our non-conference record.


In region:

Widener beat Curry who leads Boyd in NEFC

Susquehanna lost to Lyco – they are 2nd in Liberty

DVC beat Kean and Wilkes beat Montclair – they lead NJAC

FDU lost to Empire 8 leader Alfred by 5 points

Out of region - these teams are in south:

6-0 against Centennial – MAC schools didn’t play Dickinson or F & M who are tied with Hopkins for 1st– but did beat Hopkins, Ursinus (4-2 and still in contention to tie for 1st), and Gettysburg (3-3).

Wilkes beat Christopher Newport – tied for 2nd in USA South

Randolph Macon is tied with Bridgewater for 2nd in ODAC – Lyco lost a close one to Bridgewater and King’s beat Randolph Macon

In other games this week FDU and King's play - with Devils trying to pick up first conference win and Monarchs trying to end season in middle of pack. Wilkes and Widener battle for end-of -season goals. If the Colonels win out, they will be 7-3 with an outside chance of an ECAC bowl game, particularly with their non-conference wins. The Pride can end the season at .500 with two wins.
