How ironic. The NCAA Playoffs bracket was released on the day that the Princeton field hockey team played for the national championship.
Games of some interest for Ivy League fans include: Holy Cross (7-5) will host Monmouth (10-2), Central Connecticut (11-1) will visit Albany (8-4), Villanova (9-3) will be at Southeastern Louisiana (7-4) and San Diego of the Pioneer Football League (9-2) will be at Northern Iowa (8-4).
Ivy League champions Dartmouth and Yale? They are idle.
