Maybe football. Not sure about soccer. definitely wouldn’t work for HYP where the average AI hovers around 220. May work for the others like maybe 1 soccer player can get in with those numbers at Dartmouth. -

Yep jives with what I said. A 1 or 2 academic rating for Harvard is pretty up there in terms of GPA and scores but of course if the coach wants you ... your odds of getting in are high with that academic rating.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Class B Playoffs
Here's an updated version of something I posted at this time the last two years. As always, while this provides a general guide as to which teams might expect to make the playoffs, it also depends on how teams at other Class B schools are doing. The competition from non-ISL schools is heavier some years than others.
----------------------------------------------------
Here's a list of ISL teams that qualified for past Class B tournaments, with seed, ISL finish, and ISL record in parentheses (except for 2009 and 2010, for which I don’t have records):
2017: Brooks (2 seed, 1st in ISL, 11-0-4), MX (4 seed, 2nd in ISL, 10-1-4), Rivers (5 seed, 8-3-4), Groton (7 seed, T7th in ISL, 7-5-3), SM (8 seed, 6th in ISL, 8-5-2)
2016: Brooks (2 seed, 1st in ISL, 13-1), Nobles (3 seed, T3rd in ISL, 9-3-2), MX (5 seed, 5th in ISL, 7-4-3), SM (6 seed, 6th in ISL, 7-5-2)
2015: LA (2 seed, T3rd in ISL, 11-3-1), SM (4 seed, T3rd in ISL, 11-3-1)
2014: LA (2 seed, 1st in ISL, 14-1), Nobles (3 seed, 3rd in ISL, 12-2-1), Rivers (4 seed, 4th in ISL, 10-2-3)
2013: LA (1 seed, 1st in ISL, 12-0-3), Rivers (2 seed, 2nd in ISL, 12-1-2), SM (6 seed, 5th in ISL, 10-3-2)
2012: Rivers (2 seed, T1st in ISL, 13-1-1), Brooks (3 seed, T1st in ISL, 13-1-1), RL (5 seed, 3rd in ISL, 10-3-2)
2011: Nobles (2 seed, 1st in ISL, 12-2-1), Brooks (3 seed, 2nd in ISL, 10-2-3), RL (5 seed, 4th in ISL, 7-1-7), MX (8 seed, 5th in ISL, 8-5-2)
2010: Nobles (3), Brooks (5), RL (6), MX (7), Rivers (8)
2009: RL (4), Thayer (6), Brooks (7)
Therefore, the number of ISL teams making the Class B tournament has varied from 2 to 5. The mean is 3.6.
Meanwhile, here are the Class B teams that finished highest in the ISL among the teams that did not qualify in the last seven years:
2017: RL (9th in ISL, 7-6-2)
2016: RL (7th in ISL, 6-4-4)
2015: Nobles (6th in ISL, 9-5-1)
2014: MX (6th in ISL, 9-5-1)
2013: Nobles (6th in ISL, 10-4-1)
2012: LA (T5th in ISL, 8-4-3) and Groton (T5th in ISL, 9-6)
2011: Groton (7th in ISL, 6-4-5)
So, over the last seven years:
- Every Class B team that finished in sole possession of 5th place in the ISL or better qualified for the tournament.
- Until two years ago, none of the Class B teams that finished tied for 5th or worse qualified for the tournament. However, in the last two years, SM twice finished 6th in the ISL and yet qualified for the tournament, and Groton qualified last year after tying for 7th.
- With the exception of Groton last year with 24 points (and SM which had 23 points in 2016, but there was one less ISL game that year), every team to have qualified had at least 26 points.
- With the exception of Nobles in 2013 with 31 points, every team with 29 or more points has qualified for the tournament.Comment

What was the cause of the pk? Did Milton harass one of the Brooks players in the shower?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Wow. Barring a massive upset vs. BBN or StG, it looks like Middlesex will win the title.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

His team is on a 28-game unbeaten streak in ISL play (although there are seven ties sprinkled among the wins). A lot of teams would like to have a coach with a record like that.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Impressive 2-0 win for Rivers today over previously undefeated Nobles.Comment

Does this put Rivers in the mix for a class B berth?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Absolutely. Rivers should win one more (vs RL) and finish tied with nobles if nobles loses to Milton. If that happens, given the head to head result, rivers should get in ahead of nobles.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I don't think the head to head counts as much when Rivers will have 3 more losses than Nobles (given the scenario you suggested).Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
