The NCAA announced the men's at-large selections on Sunday night, and released the bracket this morning. Unbeaten and untied Montclair State got one of the six first-round byes, along with Emory, Carleton, York (Pa.), Trinity (Texas) and Redlands. Redlands, at 16-4-2, got its first-round bye because of geography.

So were there any surprises? In Pool C, we predicted Trinity (Conn.) would be a strong candidate, but were correct with our thoughts on NEWMAC teams MIT and Clark. We also picked Carnegie Mellon as one of two Pool C teams form the UAA. We missed RPI in the Liberty League, but picked correctly with Johns Hopkins in the Centennial.

We missed Dickinson for Case Western Reserve, but nailed the NJAC - both Rutgers-Camden and Richard Stockton are strong programs this year.

The Central region missed out entirely, as North Park was left off the list (we thought otherwise) while Augsburg made it in, rounding out the West region. In Pool B, we predicted Drew and UW-Platteville correctly, but we chose Chapman over Susquehanna, which proved to be incorrect.

Pool B Berths:
Drew (14-3-2)
Susquehanna (13-6-1)
UW-Platteville (13-4-1)
