MIAA

[Flying Dutch Fan]

Crazy way to end a game... I don't understand why teams don't put players on the front and back post when defending corners.  With less then a minute left in regulation I would be parking a bus in front of the goal.

I've always wondered the same thing.  In the early 80s during my soccer playing days, we always did that - one guy attached to each post.  Having said that, I'm not sure it would have stopped that shot.

If a guy was on the back post it would have been a difficult play, that is for sure.  Looks like you can only hold the keeper accountable for that one.  Tough way to lose for Dominican.  Excellent results from the MIAA this past weekend.  Hope avenges early season defeat and Calvin wins big @ Loras. 

Any predictions for this weekends games?

A guy on the backpost wouldn't have been able to get that ball. way to difficult of an angle to head that ball out. a guy on the back post would have had to stop it with his hands to keep it out. just my opionion though.

Hope vs. Calvin for the National Championship!???

Hope wins!!!!   Game was 1-1 through 2 OTs.  Luther had scored in the 1st half off a corner kick.  Hope scored in the second half on a penalty shot (handball in the box).  9 rounds of penalty shots - each team with shots off the posts, and some great saves by the GKs.  Round 9, Hope goalie Logan Neil makes his PK, and then stops the Luther shot with a kick save for the 6-5 PK win.

No idea what is coming tomorrow, but so far, each win has been more amazing then the last.  Go HOPE!!!!!

Wow,  I called this one as far as going to PK's, but I had Luther advancing.  Nice win and good luck Hope!

Calvin wins in a shootout.  Moves on to the elite eight.

Did I read the stat box right - Calvin put in a different GK for the PKs?  Anyone know why?

"Mirza does a fantastic job of reading the shot," Hughes continued. "He made that one save that we needed.  It was a huge boost of confidence for our team."
