RMLC D2 Playoffs

[BigheadTodd]

Fri 02-May Fort Lewis vs Montana State @ Dumke Field 11:30am
Fri 02-May CSM vs Westminster College @ Dumke Field 5:30pm


I got Westminter beating the Fort in the final, based on previous scores. How many teams will the RMLC send to nationals?

[laxtube2]

I have MSU taking down Fort Lewis 15-12
As long as MSU dodges from their middies they should be fine

Westminster barely takes down the explosive Mines 18-7

Finals Westminster 16-11 over MSU

Next year lets make it fun and actually bring some teams. 8 team playoff!

with the conference size, and how close the records were there really should be more than 4 teams.. its kind of a joke. big suprise to see school of mines in there though

[laxtube2]

agreed... I think I remember voting on the tourney size but looking back on it I do not know what we were thinking sending only 4. Mistake that will hopefully be fixed for next year. If I remember correctly we all thought 8 was too many and 6 gave the #1 seeds a bye and that was a deterrent for the 6 team playoff.

As varying viewpoints/opinions were shared on expanding the size of the tournament, votes switched back and forth numerous times. I remember a big issue was the time needed to complete the tournament with a larger pool. I won't be able to voice my opinion next season as I'm heading back to SELC country, but hopefully we can successfully expand the tournament.

It's a travesty that UVSC and UNC aren't in it. If the first round bye isn't welcome, there would be no problem having an NAU, etc in there. And for the record, NAU is a lot better than their divisional record. I think 6 to 8 teams would be ideal, especially with the depth of the RMLC these days.

as good as the rmlc-2 is, the tournament definitely needs to be expanded one way or another.

Metro got robbed. Definitely need a bigger tournament next year.

I've got MSU over Fort 10-8
Westminster over Mines 15-6 at least
Westminster over MSU 14-9

Agreed, having a bigger tournament will drive motivation of developing teams.

fort and MSu will hopefully be a great game who ever wins will probably get that second at large

We played really well against our conference opponents, but Fort blew us away. Our game against Mines was unfortunate to say the least. I'd like to be able to put that game on the fact that we didn't have a goaltender available and were forced to put a freshman midfielder in the cage, but our young offense just couldn't get anything going. Either way, I think it would be great for our conference to expand. We have so much talent out here and as we have seen, any game can go any way.

although there is a difference in divisions inside of the RMLC, RMLC teams played should still play a factor, whether or not they are east or west, maybe in SOME way.

-vs RMLC teams
mines- 4-4
metro-5-3
unc-6-2

i feel as though mines squeaked by thanks to beating the lowest ranked teams.

[creasemonkey]

You confused me?

[laxtube2]

This weekend will be exciting. I do think Metro is going to be a contender next year.

Fort 16-14
