Sorry for your loss. Been there and had to do the same thing, terrible day. Prayers.

I watched both games for York/Messiah - definitely could feel and tell the despair at the conclusion of Sunday's game for York.  I was completely unimpressed the first time they played as I was expecting more of a match but it was like York just sat back and took a beating.

Sunday's match was more competitive but it was still not really close.  York's goal came from a handball in the box that was an unlucky bounce straight up hitting the Messiah defenders arm.  (Well slotted PK though - with a run-up).  They really didn't create many chances at all, and didn't have the ball much.

They were better than Lancaster Bible, and Widener and that's where they missed out.

Here's a link to an Instagram reel done by Messiah student from Marshmallow Bowl - cool scene.

Messiahs greatest strength is their passing ability, but it's also their biggest weakness - they don't go to the opponents goal enough. They look to make the extra pass for the easy goal when sometimes you need to shoot and just put the ball on frame.

Dickinson did a great job of marking midfield and making it difficult to receive/turn cleanly and their back line dropped into the space taking away any slotted pass.

Messiah Dickinson game is fun to watch.
