Brandeis pulled out some decent results down the stretch and today capped it, even if they were out-shot and out-possessed. Below .500 is not where the program wants to be but they have a ton of young guys and I think they will only improve. Guthro kept them in a lot of games this year and could be one of the best goalies in D3. Optimistic to see what they do next year.
Brandeis showed a lot of heart these last few games down the stretch. These are tough tough games to win. This is the first win in NYU since 2014, and their win against Chicago was the first since 2002. There are plenty of stacked Judges teams in that stretch, which shows how tough these road UAA games are.
That was one of the most frustrating Brandeis seasons to watch, especially as an alum. If this team scores 15-17 goals (they scored only 11 this year), they likely have 10 wins and a Pool C bid. The way that Brandeis always qualified was to dominate these New England teams like WPI, MIT, Western New England, and then tread water in the UAA. The past 2 seasons they have done exceptionally well in the UAA, just have choked their season away early on against these New England schools. Not sure if it's a lack of heart or if the gap has truly closed in New England. I personally am rooting for Wash U to win it all this year since I feel personally victimized by Chicago from my 4 years!
