Ivy League Preview
The Ivy League came down to the wire in 2023 and I expect the same to happen again this year. There is a gap between the top of the table and the struggling teams, but that means the first 3-4 will be even closer come the final week. I expect multiple teams to compete and think any of those few could win the league, as well as the tournament. I am having a really hard time picking the order of the top 3.
Atlantic 10 Preview
This conference is filled with attacking weapons, but there is quite a bit of turnover on the backlines of most of these sides. I expect high scoring, exciting games throughout the A-10 season. Watch out for URI and St. Bonaventure to be much improved and fight towards the top of the table. VCU struggled in non-conference play in 2023, but turned it on late, winning their last 3 matches to secure…
MVC Preview
WMU entered the conference last season and did not disappoint. It was a fantastic battle between them and Missouri St. for the title. Quite a few teams towards the bottom of the table struggled, but I really feel like one or two will make a real run towards the top 3 or 4. Call me crazy, but I think Western is going to have a rough year after losing 75% of their difference makers.
WCC Preview
Between Portland, Santa Clara, San Diego, and new comers Oregon State, this conference is absolutely loaded. The battle for the conference title will likely be extremely tight and these conference matchups will be incredible to watch. I think Portland and Oregon State will finish 1,2, but the questions is who will take home the championship? I’m going Portland!
Patriot League Preview
The Patriot League is always interesting because there seem to be new teams making surprise runs each season. I see Loyola and BU being strong again, and Holy Cross and American being those teams who shock some people. BU had a fantastic season last year, winning 12 matches, doubling their total from 2023, and tripling it from 2021. The Terriers also won the Patriot League…
Big East Preview
The Big East is a conference with a few top dogs at the top, headlined by Georgetown, but lacking the depth that many of these other big soccer conferences have. In 2022, Creighton made it to the NCAA Tournament semis, when Duncan McGuire went on an absolute terror, but they struggled last season. The Hoyas were one of the nation’s top ranked teams throughout 2023…
