I missed most of the game....Without Glaser Midd could be in trouble...They must have been over confident but they cannot afford anymore slip ups

Seems to me if bowdoin sits this deep conn will tie this game.

I was very surprised, Bates were quicker to the ball had back line under constant pressure for last 20-25 minutes

Bowdoin always SITS DEEP with a 1-0 lead and they tend to waste time as well. It can be frustrating to watch especially for their opponents. It is not sportsmanship IMO

They are wicked good on the counter and might be the equal of Amherst on offensive corners....like watching Italy 1970's

Still Conn are generating chances

[Mr.Right]

Conn generating some chances BUT I they they look weak in attack. They just do not have anything "special" besides Devlin that can get a goal. Bowdoin does look good on the counter as Dias-Costa has looked dangerous all game. They are going to be a tough out especially if Safian stays solid in net.

[Mr.Right]

WOW....Conn ties it up 1-1 with about 3 minutes left. Both teams need this victory but I am shocked Bowdoin could not Finish the game off...That hurts but lets see if they can snag a OT goal. Bowdoin deserves to win but that is futbol..

Hamilton jumps out to an early 1-0 lead over Colby as they looked very focused on winning that game and possibly getting a Top 4 finish.

[PaulNewman]

Conn couldn't even get out of their own end in the latter stages of regulation and then Bowdoin IMO did the Camels a favor by taking the ball to the corner over and over with more than 6 minutes left.  Bowdoin had number of chances to go up 2-0 and then stopped trying even though they were getting into final 3rd with some ease.  We'll see if they pay for it.

[Mr.Right]

Looks like Williams at Tufts is delayed for some reason.....Will check out Weslryan v Amjerst...Wesleyan NEEDS a Win and it will be tough but lets see if they can sneak a upset

[Mr.Right]

1-1 Draw Bowdoin v Conn...Bowdoin unlucky not to get the Win and must feel cheated with a questionable handball that was not called when Conn scored. Like NCAC said Bowdoin didn't get that 2nd goal which they should have gotten to put the game away and it cost them. A draw does not hurt either team but both teams needed the 3 pts for their faint Pool C chances. Now neither team will climb the Regional Rankings.

[PaulNewman]

Midd never had any reason to be overconfident (except for maybe first game of season given preseason hype about maybe being the next NESCAC national champion, and a few can have fun re-posting this if that happens).  As far as I can tell, they haven't had a sterling or "wow, watch out" performance all season.  Their signature wins are 1-0 over Conn and 2-1 over Bowdoin.  The home draw with Amherst may be their best result, honestly.  No reason to underestimate Bates when you've already had two 0-0 draws with Colby and Trinity BEFORE losing Glaser.

And now they go on the road to Williams.  Will be huge game for both teams, and even more interesting if Williams can pull out a result today.  At this point I'm not sure I'd favor Midd in any quarterfinal NESCAC likely matchup, except for maybe Hamilton and especially if they drop to 5th and lose the home game.  I didn't check to see if they could drop to 5th.

I was getting ready to tout Bowdoin as again a very dangerous team and then they end up settling for a bad draw with Conn and apparently are in 7th.

[Mr.Right]

Becharano another goal to give Tufts an early 1-0 lead over Williams. He might get POY over Devlin..It will be close.

Wesleyan playing hard and preserving a 0-0 draw v Amherst with a nice save by Wesleyan GK Jasinski

Hamilton gets another goal and looks to have a comfortable 2-0 leaf over Colby,,,

[Mr.Right]

I must say Wesleyan looks very good v Amherst so far. They are playing a nice two touch possession game which is difficult on the sh*t field p;us the rain and plus Amherst trying to disrupt it.

[Mr.Right]

Hamilton RIPS Colby 4-0 and will be very happy with that decisive win. Hamilton still has a chance for a Top 4 seed but needs some help. Nevertheless, great WIN for Hamilton and a much more enjoyable 9 hour ride home. Well done Hamilton

[Mr.Right]

Garrett Hardesty with a nice finish to give Wesleyan a 1-0 lead over Amherst..I must say Amherst has looked very unimpressive in this game and Wesleyan looks the better team. Amherst IMO will not be going far this year in the NCAA's. They look a shell of themselves from last year which was predicted after all their seniors graduated. If Wesleyan had only played like this all year they would be a #5 seed and regionally ranked but losses to Hamilton, Bates and a tough loss to Williams killed them. They still do have a chance to qualify with a win here and a win v Conn which is doable. Let's see if they can hold on with about 20 minutes left.
