no, was Kramer (CB). very very bad

[Mr.Right]

really?  Wow Kramer is usually pretty level headed. Kramer and big ole Sam Williams are two of the best CB's in the country in my opinion.

[NESCAC-fanatic00203]

I would say Kramer (moreso than Hoppenot) has the tendency to lose his composure. Red card (2nd yellow) vs Amherst was a similar situation - he didn't instigate, but retaliated right in front of the linesman. agree his is a very very good CB otherwise

[PaulNewman]

Unbelievable that he got away with that, and there's a history of bad acting there.  Classless.

Bad draw for Tufts.  Exactly what they did not need.

[PaulNewman]

Very overrated (the player I mean).

[Mr.Right]

overrated? what are we talking about here?

[Mr.Right]

Wow just saw the Amherst v Trinity box score. These teams have bad blood with each other but look at all those cards. Rico gets a red card and puts Amherst in a hole for the weekend. Anyone see this game? How did he get the red?

Well Williams pulled out the victory but they looked very average doing so.  Game was very even, which is not a good thing when one team has nothing really to play for.  Even in corners 4-4, Williams with a small 15-11 margin in shots.  Play of the game made by Alcorn for Williams.  Hand ball called in the box 70th min after Hamilton played ping pong for a few seconds between the Ephs defenders.  Alcorn guessed left and was correct - not a particularly well struck shot by Kraynak on the ground and Alcorn made the save to keep it 0-0.  Lit a little spark under Williams which got them a bit more on the attack.

79th minute - Williams with the corner, Hamilton failed to clear it out and Williams gets a nice little give and go to Grady who makes the 1:1 move and beats the GK from the left side.  Williams played keep away the rest of the match with no serious chances for Hamilton the rest of the way. 

[Mr.Right]

You are correct Williams looked very flat and uninterested AGAIN. First of all that was a horrible call as that was no PK. Hamilton is a good team but like most Nescac teams they cannot score. Once Williams moved Danilack into the midfield that changed the game into Williams favor. He gave the give and go to Grady who buried his chance and gets to 10 goals.

[PaulNewman]

I'll just leave it at agreeing with you about how horrendous that play was.  Could have seriously injured the other player.

[Mr.Right]

2 games already set for Saturday

Williams v Bowdoin  and Midd v Wesleyan

The loser of Midd v Wesleyan will be cooked. Good rematch of an excellently played game last Saturday.

[Mr.Right]

Anyone close to the Bowdoin camp?  What is the injury situation for Jones, White and Keefe?

I was at the game but must confess that with the score 4-2, and the heavy rain starting to fall and only 90 seconds left, I went to put my dog in the car.  As soon as I got to the bottom of that hill below the far goal, a ruckus ensued.  I asked my son (a Trinity player so consider the source) what happened and he said that Rico "made a bad judgment on a header" and banged a Trinity player pretty hard, who they think may now have a concussion.  The reason for the red is that is was his second yellow of the game.

That's what I know, and it's second hand form somebody within feet of the action.

[Jump4Joy]

FourMore, sounds accurate to me from where I was standing.

Colby locks up the 7 seed and bumps Conn to 8, so Conn gets to visit Tufts on Saturday while Amherst hosts Colby.
Good luck, and have fun, all!
