Well, I don't necessarily think a Union-Middlebury game would be exciting
either -- but let me set the record straight on your comment.  Middlebury,
lately, has been the top team in Division III -- In the last few years alone, I
have seen Princeton beat Plattsburgh St. by 1 goal, and tie Colby just one week
after beating previously unbeaten and No. 1 ranked Maine.
 
Princeton is on a par with Union -- and Middlebury is better than Colby or
Plattsburgh.  Middlebury could easily win that game, though I'd guess Union
wins it 6 or 7 times out of 10.
