Paoletta heads a corner into the ground and over.

[Mr.Right]

Did anyone else see that...Rojas was played a ball a bit ahead of him and he would NOT go in and get stuck in with a Wesleyan player. Rojas is soft and along with Van Brewer in midfield physical teams should be able to take advantage of that. Rojas and Van Brewer obviously have great skill but are soft

[Mr.Right]

Tasker with a pretty ball into Braun who heads it right at GK...Where is Jacobs?..Tasker playing real well this year

Surprising at least as far as Rojas, he's well over 6 foot and not slight. Van Brewer is the creative link in central midfield but since Aroh is sitting in front of the back 4 he needs someone alongside him in central midfield getting stuck in.

Braun heads a fantastic diagonal from Tasker right at the GK. Either side of him that's a goal.

[Mr.Right]

Gallo for Wesleyan up top looks dangerous..He has some speed and skill going at Weatherbie. Mieth coughs up a ball of a cross but no one for Wesleyan there

[blooter442]

Wesleyan creating some chances. Tufts in charge at the moment but the visitors are looking dangerous on the counter.

[Mr.Right]

Actually Wheeler does not have KMP behind the 2 strikers.He is playing deep in midfield. That is a mistake IMO he should be right behind the strikers

[blooter442]

Nice long chuck by Wesleyan and the kid gets a head on that but straight at Mieth. They could well take one of these chances.

[Mr.Right]

Agreed...Once Wesleyan goes to its bench they have dropped off a bit..Meanwhile, Jacobs is busting his butt up top...kid should be starting...Bloots yea this announcer sounds like he has a closepin on his nose...Not sure about Wesleyan's GK Franklin...He has seemed ok but has not had to make a great save yet

[blooter442]

Tufts content to hit long balls down the sides for Jacobs to drop wide and get while they have runners coming from midfield. Tufts strikers have long been big on hold up play (Majumder, Hoppenot, etc.) but I would think that would be Braun's role rather than Jacobs who has some wheels and would be good to try to spring in behind. Wesleyan isn't sitting back too much so the space is there to be had.

Game is slowing down. 0-0 as we get to half.

[Mr.Right]

0-0 at the Half...Tufts backline is interesting...I really like the left side with Paoletta and the Frosh Daly. Daly is a natural athlete and good player. Paoletta is a smart CB with skill. If I were opposing teams I would be going at Tufts right side as I love Weatherbie's toughness but he does not have much skill and Gallo turned him a couple times in the 1st Half. Najjar is still a question mark for me as he is a big boy but I am not completely sold. Aroh in front of them looks to lack pace.

[Mr.Right]

Weatherbie has given the ball away 3 times since the 2nd Half began...Im telling you I would press him hard and turn him over

[Mr.Right]

Braun cant finish another solid chance...Tufts in comtrol as Wesleyan needs to wake up as the 2nd half is all Tufts but they have not finished yet.

[blooter442]

Two great chances for Tufts second half but no dice so far.

[blooter442]

Tufts finally breaks through with 27:19 left, Braun off a corner.
