Looks like the NCAA did a good job of keeping Hope and Calvin separated in the brackets (perhaps they always do in soccer; never seems to happen in basketball). Hope heads to Chicago, while Calvin heads to Iowa. Good luck to all!

Looks like Calvin got a slightly better draw though both MIAA teams will be favorites in the first round, according to Massey.

Calvin (#37) will play Carthage (#72)
Hope (#26) will play Thomas More (#31)

As Massey predicted, close game between Hope and ThHomas More. Hope wins 2-1 on a late goal by Sr David Whitaker (at 86:38). The stats reflect the closensess of this game as shots were 12-12, SOG were 5-5, and corners 7-6 (Hopes favor).

Each team scored a first half goal (Hope's was a blast from the top of thhe 18 by Nick Heyboer).

Hope now plays Dominican at 1pm (2pm EST) tomorrow. Let's Go HOPE!!!

Congratulations to Hope. It will be another competitive game with Dominican, but I'm predicting a Dutch win.

Love that prediction, a tall order, but the Dutchmen can do it.

Calvin also won their first round game, and will most likely face Loras tomorrow.

Loras will square off with Calvin tomorrow, should be a hard fought match!

Carthage had better ball control in the midfield than Calvin and seemed to get to loose balls more quickly. They also had more shots -- but most of them were from like 30 yards away and off-target. Calvin's defense held them pretty well, and the offense seemed to generate more quality chances, many of which were breakaways or set plays.

According to Massey, Calvin is again a slight favorite over Loras. Hope, have fun against Dominican.

Hope wins 2-1 on a Jason Muller goal (bent a corner into the goal) with 19 seconds left!!!!

i wonder where hope would play next week

d3fan1 · November 12, 2011, 04:46:33 PM

Great job Hope. Good luck in your next game! I'm predicting your next game will be against Luther, they have had a good year and are a very good defensive team. St. Olaf is also a quality team, they showed their grit by winning the tough MIAC tournament.
