Cortland's keeper got a red card 6 minutes into the match. Cortland went down 1-0 then tied it up with 10 men. Score was 1-1 with about 30-35 min left in the game when New Paltz scored their 2nd goal. Cortland continued to push with 10 players,  but New Paltz caught them with couple of counter attacks and scored.

Being a SUNYAC fan, I am rooting for Buff St this weekend, but you're not being totally honest. "Plays fast' is putting it nicely. Every player I know who has played on the Buff St field says it's terrible. This may prove to be to Buff States advantage, especially against Hobart which plays a lot of games on slow grass fields.

It was an even played game. The pitch was very slippery. Cortland outshot F & M 21-16. Both teams had chances, Cortland had a few great chances that they failed to score on. F & M scored in OT when two of Cortland defenders fell leaving the F & M player wide open for the scoring shot.

Cortland will be out in the Sweet 16. IMO they are overrated.

That is entirely possible.  They made a GK change in their bad loss to Oneonta in late Sep. and have reeled of 12 straight since with just 2 GA.  Included were a 5-0 rout of Hobart and 1-0 win in the rematch with Oneonta.  I just took a flyer on a hot team with a new attitude.

That was the Cortland / Oneonta regular season game that I watched and the GK was bad but the whole team had nothing "special" in that game. Their defense caved rather easily to Oneonta and they generated nothing going forward and their attitude and body language looked as if they knew they were going to lose and gave up in the 2nd Half. I did not like it. However, you maybe right they may be really hot right now and plating much better and should have a pretty easy ride into the Sweet 16.

Mr Right...the Cortland team playing now is not the same as the one that lost to Oneonta the first game they played and I'm sure Oneonta would verify that. After Cortland's two straight losses to SLU and Oneonta (the only two of the season), the team switched formations and replaced the whole back line and keeper. The team hasn't lost since and only gave up two goals the rest of the season. I could be wrong, but i think you'll be surprised at how quick their team defense is now. They are a hot team and IMO could make a deep run in the tournament.
