Anybody watching the Mary Washington - Rhodes game (apparently costs $3.90 to watch from some service I've never heard of)?  There is no Live Scores posted yet, but the NCAA site says that Rhodes is winning 3-0 in the 53rd minute

Paywalls are getting annoying. NCAA says 4-0 now.  I was hoping to watch.

Yes,4-0 with 27 left in 2nd
Rhodes had a PK saved in 1st 15 minutes that was the only real opportunity for Rhodes
Obviously the pen would have changed the game but it seemed to be a wake up for UMW

It looks like they have the teams reversed on the NCAA site and it's actually Mary Washington 4 - Rhodes 0

When you click on the game, they have the lineups and the scoring stats and they have Gabe Francesconi identified as going to Rhodes and scoring 2 goals, when he plays for UMW.

This is the second time I have seen a scoreline where the NCAA site has the score backwards because they switched the lineups.

Charging for video and refusing to post live stats at the same time ... pretty sad.

My bad - should have clarified that UMW was up
4-1 final
Garbage time goal by Rhodes

Not sure anyone is terribly interested, but Washington and Lee won their last two games. Too early to tell if their form is coming back, but encouraging.

You care.Do you think beating Brevard and Oglethorpe changes the narrative?

Not yet. Against Oglethorpe the stats show a similar problem, very few shots, they just had a high percentage go in. Against Brevard they had more shots, but I suspect the opponent quality was not that high.

I do think W&L will grow into the style and system they are being asked to play. There is a lot of individual  talent on that team and I suspect by the end of the season they will be dangerous.

Having seen them play 2 not so good games a week ago I doubt they morphed into a good team all of a sudden. But I do expect them to continue to improve throughout the season.

#3 Colorado College takes an early 1-0 lead over #13 Christopher Newport on an Oliver Ramirez goal in the 9th minute. 

You can already see that CC passes the ball very deliberately to get in dangerous positions, while CNU tends to rely on longer balls or quicker action.  Even Colorado College's headers tend to be used as passes to teammates rather than just clearances or shots.  The goal was scored after Ramirez' defender fell, but I think Ramirez should get some credit that because he sent his defender leaning to his right and Ramirez blew by him to the defender's left. 

UPDATE.  Matt Liss scores the equalizer for CNU and in the 27th minute and it's 1-1.  CNU is doing a better job now of cutting off passing lanes and mounting counterattacks.  As the announcer mentioned, you can't let Colorado College get comfortable on the ball.

UPDATE:  Luglio gets a second yellow card in the 43rd minute on a reckless challenge that was completely unnecessary far into CNU territory and Colorado College will play down a man for the last minute or two of the first half and all of the second half.  Big mistake.  You never want a sub to come on and in 15 minutes earn two yellow cards and put your team a man down.

FINAL: 1-1.  Colorado College holds on for the tie after being down a man the entire second half.

#1 Mary Washington also takes an early 1-0 lead over #10 Rowan on a goal in the 13th minute. 

Rowan came out quickly, but showed the lack of clinical precision that hurt them in the 0-0 tie to Haverford in their home opener, with 6 shots but only 1 on goal, while UMW has 7 shots with 6 on goal.

UPDATE:  It remains UMW 1 - Rowan 0 at the half.

I won't be able to offer this kind of commentary in the second halves of these games (and I was mostly watching the CC-CNU game and checking in on the Rowan-UMW game), but they are definitely both worth watching.

FINAL:  UMW 3 - Rowan 2.

Mary Washington comes from 2-1 down in the second half to win 3-2

Why is UMWs broadcast always crap.  The feedback is so so bad.

Troiano with his left

Edit: Troiano with his right

Edit 2:fantastic game.  Got there a little late with about 10 minutes left in the first half and barely found seats when above happened.  Sorry for the chirps.  But the left footed finish was quality.

I haven't been to many games for comparison sake but the crowd seemed large and the atmosphere was engaging.  And the weather was perfect.

Credit to UMW making adjustments and playing out wide for some quality low crosses after realizing long balls over the top were not going to work.

Off to the Tidewater region of VA tomorrow.  Looks like a chance for showers tomorrow night.   But excited to see more action.

Rowan 12 fouls.  Those are rookie numbers.  Amherst can do that in 1 half
