New England College (16-0)

Key wins: King’s Point, Roger Williams, Gordon

Key losses: None!

Outlook: New England College has the chance to prove to the world that the Automatic Qualifier system is a good idea. It’s our way of saying that the odds are heavily against this program despite an undefeated season. Let’s face it; strength of schedule is not New England’s cup of tea. With not one ranked team on their schedule, there was no way they were going to be ranked themselves. However, to go 15-0 during the regular season is a feat and a half and they have proven to be a strong program all year long. They should not be taken lightly! New England possesses a rare one-two punch at midfield that has been unstoppable since day one. Brent Thomas and Dave Mansfield combined for 178 points during the 2000 season, and if they’re given the space to work, they could cause a lot of problems for any first-round opponent. With seven players who compiled more than 15 points, it is clear that this is a team that can rack up the points and they are going to have to if they want to win. Drew Thomas has been excellent between the pipes. However, keep in mind who New England played during 2000 when you look at their point totals. There’s a good chance they will be overmatched when they face-off against a ranked team such as Middlebury, their probable first-round opponent. But then again, this is why they play the games. On any given day any team could win. New England has done it 15 straight times this season. It could happen!

Prediction: Middlebury has more trouble with NEC that expected but anther Cinderella falls.
