Some thoughts and predictions...

On the D1 side I think the brackets were fair; not sure why folks think Maryland got a tough draw. In my mind Stony Brook vs James Madison is a great first round match. I think Stony Brook wins. I’ll take USC, Penn, Notre Dame, Florida, Navy, Loyola and Dartmouth.

On the D3 side, which is a great tournament, the NESCAC again dominated with six teams chosen. It could have been more but at-large bids scarce in a large field with so many automatic bids going to lesser clubs. No predictions for Round 1 games as they are outlier teams. I’ll wait to Round 2.

D2, which has a small field, should be Lemoyne all the way, beating Florida Southern.
