Remarkable Season For The Fords

In addition to an incredibly consistent regular season title-winning run in the Centennial Conference (8th ranked conference in the nation out of 42 per Hero Sports) 9-0, plus 2-0 in the semi-final and final of the post-season Centennial Conference tournament, the Fords knocked off 8 NCAA Regionally-ranked teams over the course of the season.  This is a feat NEVER before accomplished in NCAA Division III men's soccer.  Never.

How'd they do it?

Here's a good profile for would-be championship winning teams to aim for (2015 saw 407 men's teams in NCAA Division III):

1. 29th toughest schedule in the nation
2. 17th most goals scored in the nation 
3. 6th fewest shots per goal of all teams scoring 52 or more goals
4. 2nd fewest shot attempts of teams scoring 52 or more goals (you'll go down the list 13 more spots before another top 50 Strength-of-Schedule team shows up on the shot attempts column)
5. 6th highest conversion rate
6. Tied for 12th in Minutes Per Goal Against....only one other top 30 team (by SOS) above the Fords

Efficiency in attack, stingy defense (after letting in 11 through the first five games on a 2-3 record).  That's sticking to it.  A strong sense of belief.

There was some other stuff...but we're not putting that on the web for everyone to see!
