It's gotta be UMD/Sonoma, two hard working teams that have good tournament experience and can bring it pretty hard no matter what rank they are.

Colorado v. ASU should be the most entertaining game as it is a game of contrasting styles.

I'd have to go with UMD/Sonoma. I think that Sonoma is going to spring the upset here. The ASU/Colorado game is intriguing but I think the Buffs get it done by a few goals. I'm curious to see how BC and NU show up. After all the lobbying people have done on these boards for those 2 they better back it up or some people on here are going to get a deserving earful.
If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.

I would not be so sure this year. Duluth has shown they are battle tested in playing Utah, CSU, and BYU all to close games. Additionally,

Duluth beat Cal-Poly 11-3.
Sonoma beat Cal-Poly 11-5

I see this game being pretty close, but Duluth leveraging their experience from the trip to Utah to pull out a victory. It will be a great game either way.

UMD needs to stay out of the penalty box, and keep the transition goals down and they will win for sure. They have an absolutely rock solid all even defense.

I tough road trip with 3 close losses back in March was good experience but they haven't really been tested since then. That is a big lag time between that series and the MCLA tournament. We'll see if UMD is for real or they just caught Utah, BYU, CSU early enough in the season to keep it close. Personally I think if UMD were to play BYU and CSU again at the end of the regular season that the games would not be quite as close. Should be some fun games to get things rolling this year.

Arizona/BC would be my choice, because I'm most interested to see what BC has to offer. You can't go wrong with most of the matchups, though...

That lag time has to be tough on UMD. The last tough game they played (where the outcome was in doubt after the first quarter) was weeks ago. Sonoma on the other hand has had games like that every week throughout the whole season, so you know they've ahd to stay sharp. Rob is a great coach and I'm sure he'll have UMD ready, this should be a great game.

At least they have been playing, period. ASU, Georgia, and Florida have not played ANY game since the weekend of 4/21. That is the longest break of their season. I am curious these three teams will come out after a 23/24 day break!
