Can it really be called an upset when 6th ranked Carleton lost to 3rd ranked Pennsylvania in the 1/4 final? The seeding for Regionals is also with RRI rankings so they are fairly accurate, no? I'm sure John Haig would know more on this...
You're right, 3 beating 6 isn't an upset. I watched CCC play one tournament this year and I've never seen them play Pennsylvania. In fact I haven't seen Pensylvania play since 2004, so I have no idea.
I would agree that it wasn't an upset, although it was a very disappointing result for us. Penn was definitely the best team we played all year. They played extremely hard D and were pretty good on O. That being said, I believe Carleton was and will be capable of playing with any team in our region.
