Know the sport? Dude called a goal kick a "six kick"

To be fair, that is actually a slang term for goal kicks (taken from the top of the SIX yard box).

i say six kick sometimes does that mean i do not "know" the sport . and even if he did what's the big deal lol let the man say whatever he pleases. no trying to come at you about something so little
but a lot of people on here have strong opinions against people who don't think exactly like they do.

All - was searching youtube for any videos of the final four and stumbled on this made by (I assume given the youtube name) the backup keeper for Tufts. A pretty well done and interesting look into the Jumbos journey during the final four stages. Have a look!

Fantastic!  Gives me the chills going along for their ride!  Congrats to Tufts and once again, NESCAC rules!

Any comments or thought about how Roanoke College did hosting this past weekend?

I'm always curious to learn what we could have done better and what people enjoyed.

I was not able to make the trip to Salem personally because of some last minute work issues but I have spoken with lot's of friends who did make it (Messiah Women's fans).  All were impressed with the hospitality in Salem and the friendliness and facilities at Roanoke College.  Great job.

The site looked fantastic on the stream. Announcers both days were exceptional. The best of any announcers I have heard all season and I have heard a ton of them.

I agree. I recall watching the Tufts vs. Wheaton final in 2014 and they had the Wheaton's women's coach as a guest all second half.  All they did was talk about how great Wheaton was as a team and athletic program...while Tufts led the whole game.  The final four should not have a representative from a school for a whole half.... I could understand 5-10 minutes, but it really takes away from the game. It seems they learned from that SNAFU.....

Must not have been the Roanoke College guys.  They use two local high school football announcers and their lack of soccer knowledge is painfully obvious.  I've reached out to the AD to see what we can do to change that.  I'm happy to hear that we did a good job hosting.  The new athletic center is kind of crazy for a DIII program, but so was the price tag........

Proud to do it! Played collegiate soccer and through most of my youth... been angling to call the Division III games for years (for reasons already stated). So thrilled to have the chance to do it this year. Also a nod to Ira Thor (semifinals) and Jeff Burns (championship) for being the color commentators. Ira has deep roots in soccer as well and Burns played and coached soccer at Randolph-Macon before eventually becoming AD there. I had a blast working with those guys and those from Webstream (who produced the event). I hope this is a sign of improvements to Division III championships in the future. I should also note that ODAC Assistant Commissioner J.J. Nekoloff (who also played soccer I think through college) was instrumental in making sure there were quality broadcasters for these games.

Thanks everyone...I really enjoyed calling the games and hopefully Dave and I get to do this together for future tournaments...Both of us have played the game as athletes (I still play...sorta)...and have covered the game as professionals...and I've coached it on the travel level....It was a pleasure to be a part of the two semis...I would have loved to have called the final with Dave but the day job called! Home hoops doubleheader this time of year meant I had to get back to Jersey!
