Algonquin and attackman Mike Wood (12) are gearing up for the playoffs, but first they'll host league foe Westboro today. |
By now I think you all know the deal.
There are only two bubble teams left, and of both of them can clinch a playoff spot with a win today/tonight. Oh yeah, then there's that little St. John's at Acton-Boxborough game, plus a momentum-building showdown between host Algonquin and visiting Westboro.
Here is your updated playoff picture as we head into a huge last two days of the CMass regular season.
Ed. Note: The story originally did not include Algonquin in the playoffs, even though I put Mike Wood in the picture. The mistake has been corrected, and I am dumb.
Also, it has been brought to my attention that Groton-Dunstable, as a D3 school playing in a D2 league, would already be eligible for the postseason via the "Sullivan Rule." That rule would allow GD to get in because of their over .500 record against D3 competition.
Thanks to everyone who participates, these things can be tricky without help.

Would you or anyone know if GD is already qualified due to the infamous "Sullivan Rule" being that they are now considered a D3 school but plays in an entirely D2 league and they have won all their games against D3 opponents?
Isn't Algonquin in too?
Yes, Gonk is in, that must have gotten lost in the shuffle from my last update. I will change that once I get home from work, and I will look into GD's situation as well.
Thank you. You do great work for CMASS Lax
Seems like G-D didn't need the Sullivan Rule anyway with a win last night.
Haha, yeah, they got in the old fashioned way. I posted that update before their score came in. I know many people don't like the Sullivan Rule, but if GD hadn't won last night, they would be a prime example of when it works properly. No way that team didn't deserve to be in the D3 tournament. Well, it's a moot point now. Congrats to them.
