I think (hope?) the RPI is misleading here, maybe because Hofstra's only losses were to 3 NCAA tournament teams. One was a 6-0 loss to Penn State (versus our 2-1 victory against this common opponent), one was a 4-1 loss to Rutgers (who lost in the first round to Central Connecticut 0-1), and the third was a 1-2 loss to Brown (who advanced to the second round on PKs over Monmouth, 0-0). I don't expect a close game. But the NCAA made up for it with our likely tough third-round game against the aforementioned Penn State. If it comes to pass, I'm not expecting the domination we showed against them the last time we played them in the tournament, just a win would be fine.
THREE-seed Okl State just lost to UNSEEDED Santa Clara 3-1 on neutral field. Does the soccer committee even watch games during the season???
