This thread is exclusively for highlighting and discussing the Men's and Women's 2014 D3 seasons. Naturally the thread will focus on teams with a local flavor, while also occasionally featuring schools from other regions that may not be familiar to you. College summaries, program notes, frosh to watch, outstanding player-student profiles, links to program and conference press releases, weekly regional and national rankings (via NSCAA and D3soccer.com), key games of the week, how NCAA bids are shaping up, etc all welcome as preseason trainings camps are starting up and we head into another exciting season of NCAA D3 action culminating with the Final Fours in Kansas City. I will contribute heavily on the Men's side, and a volunteer or volunteers for the Women's side will be appreciated.

So you will be the only non-d3 parent reading the posts?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Thanks for stepping up and putting the "troll" sign around your neck. You have to be the stupidest poster around here. Can always spot one of yours with unassailable logic like yours.Comment

Yes crazy and obnoxious soccer mom. Your daughter is surely bound for Div 1 and then NWSL glory in front of a few hundred bored spectators.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Sorry I forgot that we live in New England the only region in the country where people actually care about D3 soccer.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You missed the point, only a handful of people will be watching your daughter play Div 1 if she somehow makes it. Very silly for you to be dissing anyone. If you are judging success by the number of people who "care" then you shelling out a ton of cash for guaranteed failure. Does that help?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You will be competing with the Guide to the NESCAC's thread sitting on 100k views. They will argue that that is the only D3 worth talking about. Worcester State, Framingham St, Wheaton and such don't get much air time here. What say you?Comment

Why does no one talk about D2 schools?Comment

They're caught in a weird middle ground of so-so soccer and not so great academics. Take a look at the top 25 schools and see how few you've heard of. Only a few are decent academically.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
