#5 PSU women's field hockey lost to #6 Maryland today by a score of 4-5.
Not a bad loss. I prefer they take a loss now (which they can learn from) rather than an early loss in the tourney.
PSU's conference record is now 4-2 and their overall record is 12-2.

The 2016 NCAA Tournament Bracket is set. I have attached it below (just click on image to enlarge):  Or you can download the bracket PDF here: fieldhockey_d1_2016.pdf (82.74 KB) My 2 centsPenn State got the easier half of the bracket, for sure. Our most difficult opponent in our half of the bracket would be the #1 overall seeded team. However, before we get there, we could potentially face one of two other good teams. That is, Virginia, who we beat earlier in the season, and Michigan, who we beat twice this year. Should we be good/lucky enough to get to the semis, we'd play #1 Duke. However, they have displayed vulnerabilities this year. They have 2 losses on the season. The latest was in the ACC semis to N. Carolina on 11/04. N. Carolina then lost on 11/06 in the ACC final to Virginia (who we beat). Funny how things work out that way. The other half of the bracket will have some tough matches. They have #3 Syracuse (last year's champs) and #2 Maryland (I'm surprised they got the #2 seed after losing to PSU in the B1G final). Also, they have UConn and N. Carolina (last year's runner-up), who have been ranked in the top 5 all year. |

This is going to be my last post on this thread.
I was so upset that the team lost in the 1st round, that I couldn't bring myself to post the result.
However, after a few days to forget about it, I checked the bracket for the other teams' results.
Boy am I happy I did and surprised at the results and multiple upsets.
Round 1 upsets --> Princeton defeats PSU 2-1
Round 2 upsets --> Delaware defeats #1 Duke 3-2; N. Carolina defeats #2 Maryland 3-0; Connecticut defeats #3 Syracuse 3-2, and Princeton defeats Virginia 3-2.
So, there are NO seeded teams in the Final Four. What??!!! Unbelievable.
The Final Four consists of Delaware vs Princeton and N. Carolina vs Connecticut.
