I never really liked the Carnegie Mellon coach, and my opinion was proved right today. He refused to shake hands with the Brandeis players after the game today, and a couple of his players followed his lead, including number 18, who basically concussed Berg on the last play. Wonder if anyone else saw that, does not set a good example for the program

I was not at the game but watching on the stream...They kept turning the camera when any extra curricular stuff was going on which was quite often the last 10-15 minutes. I could tell the game was getting chippy. Must be some bad blood between the 2 teams but if what you say is true that is ridiculous. My guess is CMU thought they were dealing with a homer ref because he did make a couple questionable calls and no calls against CMU but that in no way affected the game or result. The coach should be more sporting and worry more about why his team failed to show until the 2nd half. My gut say's he knows that was a huge loss because they are now 8-2-1 with 1 solid win v Redlands and a good draw v John Carroll but the rest of his wins are not against any team that will be regionally ranked in a few weeks and they have Chicago next.

It is true, and it was really quite shocking. Never had someone do that before. A bunch of chippy play both ways, but usually teams can get it together and shake hands after the game. Big win for Brandeis as they have Wash U and Chicago at home.


Those two home games don't mean much if they lose next Sunday.

Number 8 got a red in the second half. He was playing center mid. Got pulled down from behind. Already on a yellow and got up and half volleyed the ball into a Haverford player (hit him square in the back I think).

I left shortly after that cause the quality of the game wasn't great. Too many fouls. Too much out of control stuff from UMass Boston.

It's actually a shame they advanced. With the way they behaved they deserved for their season to end today.

Sour grapes...Can't blame the whole team on 2 stupid players doing stupid things....Haverford MISSED A PK AND 2 SITTERS to put the thing away 2nd Half and DID NOT...It was Haverfords game and they blew it themselves...

Nothing "Sour Grapes" about his post. Glad to hear you like your American football on a Sunday. The coach can and should control the Stupid things TWO of his players did.

Montclair State another 1st round knock out 5-1. When was that last year they made it out of the first round?

i would have to say that majority of the NJAC teams played futbol this year and not football. don't let one game shape your opinion on the rest. It was a lack of discipline that the coaches can't control. you really think coaches encourage players to act like that?  come on. don't be surprised if there are 2-3 njac teams left in the S16-E8

Your opinion is why the behavior exists. The coaches can control it, it's called "The Bench". If that's the program the coach wants to run that player will start the next game, if the coach has control of the program he sits him.

The last time Tufts conceded 3 goals in a game was 10/1/2011 vs Amherst... Impressive.

MSU was knocking on that door, but couldn't open it.

Tufts vs Kenyon will be a classic.

NJAC not looking so hot Last Guy

Of course not... look at the match-ups!  If MSU or Camden had Gordon as a Round of 32 game, they'd be in the Sweet 16.   This isn't a shot at F&M, but you know what I mean.  If Rutgers-Camden would have gotten Bowdoin or MIT, I think they'd have won.  If MSU had Chicago, they'd have probably won.   However, you can only beat who is put in front of you... On to next year!


I think F&M will be heading to the Elite 8.

I noticed you had Oneonta St as your Champion on one forum, but for the bracketology you selected Amherst.  Thoughts/Prediction on Haverford vs. SLU and potential match-up of Haverford vs Oneonta St?

NJAC way overrated this year and MSU second year in a row choke.

Newark bumping that high to 3 while MSU drops from 2 to 7 vs a regionally ranked opponent.

Wow! Montclair State would appear to be in a must-win NJAC title situation!  Covenant better than MSU?!?!  Centre with their eight blemishes?!?!  Crazy!

Not so Crazy...Who has MSU beaten( camden??) Lost to messiah, wheaton, Newark. Centre lost to Kenyon, Thomas more and tied Emory and beat the same Newark team MSU lost too. The NJAC as a conference was 0 wins against southern teams. Maybe MSU should schedule games with southern teams instead of Hunter, Brooklyn and CCNY as these big wins did nothing for SOS.

And to your point, who has Centre beaten?  What's their quality WIN, DePauw?

Who has Covenant beaten other than Rutgers-Newark?  They lost to Methodist but did beat NC Wesleyan.

Emory will fall in the 2nd round of the NCAAs, much like the UAA always does.   Eat up bids and rarely reach the Elite 8.

MSU might schedule cupcakes, but they still have been to two elite 8s and a final four in the last 3 years.    Using Newark's stumble early on is a minute sample size.  You can argue for the Camden losses to CNU and Lynchburg, but I think you are referring more to the deep south here.

Centre at least scheduled and tied teams that are currently ranked regional which is more than MSU/NJAC did.

Schedule cupcakes and pay the price, especially in a weak conference. Live with the history all you want. Next year maybe your MSU/NJAC teams grow a set and come south to play so you don't have to live in the past so much.
If the UAA has to play Messiah again it may just lose again same can be said if MSU plays them again. Alot of the final eight is luck of where you are placed. If you make it past the first round tough to argue you don't belong.  And if you can't beat Emory you might as well keep taking shots at them on this board.

Hot weekend in the UAA coming up. Let's literally go!!! A lot of parity this year, per usual. Let's take a look at the matchups for the final weekend.

Carnegie vs. Emory: Emory should get a tournament bid, but will want to get 3 points against CMU to be sure. Emory, with arguably the number 1 ranked climate in the conference, may have some trouble in the North. Let's see if our southern brothers will be able to handle the tumultuous terror called the Pittsburgh precipitation.  Keep in mind that senior defender Noah Rosen won "Athlete of the Week", let's see if he can lead the eagles to another shutout.  Prediction: Emory 0-3 CMU.

Rochester vs. Case: Giving a slight edge to the cagey Rochester Yellow jackets. Case just hasn't been the same since the departure of the great Vinny Bell, famously described as a "runway jumper".  Prediction: Rochester emerges victorious in a golden goal slugfest with scrappy Case Western. UR 4-3 CWRU

NYU vs. Brandeis: The Judges still have a shot at a UAA championship, and will need to win in order to keep these dreams alive. NYU has just come off of a 0 point weekend and will look to try to finish the regular season on a high.  Prediction: The Judges will bounce back against slumping NYU. Brandeis 2-0 NYU

Wash U vs. Chicago: WUSTL is still at the bottom of the UAA after last weekend, but the Bears gave Brandeis a good game, and have nothing to lose against Chicago, who has a chance to win the UAA for the first time since 2009. Prediction: I like Codispoti and Chicago to continue their recent hot streak. Chicago 2-1 Wash U

There haven't been this many goals in the entire UAA season. Can't see a UAA defense giving up that many goals, nor an offense scoring that many.

St Norbert  SOS: 331

Luther        SOS: 213   (should finish out the year with only 3 blemishes)

Wrong region, but the same can be said for

Lycoming (one solid opponent out of 12 games)    SOS: 218   (Won't make the tourney this year; Mid-Atlantic is too stacked; I imagine their NCAA ranking is about 6 or so.   Behind Messiah, F&M, Dickinson, Muhlenberg, Scranton, Eastern who will get the auto bid)

Colorado College (only beat Kean 1-0, but only lost to Trinity 1-0... other than that haven't really played anyone)  SOS: 209

NYU who is 10-1 has beaten alot of cupcakes;  7th in East region.  SOS: 315

NYU will rise or fall in UAA play, nice win vs Rochester to start

Wartburg draws first blood.  The Luther video gives the best perspective I have seen of what it is like on the field.  From a close angle down in a corner and pretty low to the ground.  Interesting.  Anyway, check it out.  Gives good sense of talent and skills levels.

Amherst was down 1-0 to WNE but the dam has broken as Amherst just kept pelting and pelting with WNE not able to get the ball in the other half at all.

Last I checked both evening NJAC games were 0-0 in the 81st minutes now 86 and 88).

The angle stinks for action at the other side of the field.

Best offense is the long throw in the 2nd half.
