NESCAC

[Mr.Right]

Tufts right in the middle of an interesting / unfair? Nescac scheduling quirk.....mid-week at Wesleyan and then a Sat / Sun back to back at Amherst and at Hamilton. That is an unusual schedule in Nescac

[Mr.Right]

Of course, Hamilton scores off a header to go up 1-0 on Midd and Conn up 1-0 on Trinity midway thru the 1st half. I have a feeling both games have more goals in store

[Mr.Right]

Pouring rain in Middlebury...As Midd usually does against weaker competition they are playing futbol on the ground and possessing quite well. I wish they would do this more often. They are possessing well but Hamilton is compact defensively and not letting Midd get any quality sniffs yet

As much as he's a great shot stopper, Greenwood again fails to impress on set pieces and crosses. I've seen him three times this year - twice in-person, once on video - and each time he's failed to cleanly claim a high ball at least once. Maybe it's because, as Mr.Right mentioned earlier, he used to have Williams and Lee-Kramer to clear all of the high balls for him? No doubt he is an excellent 'keeper, but he really needs to learn how to better deal with those situations - at the moment, Bull and Sydor are ahead of him in the NESCAC IMHO. I'd say that Greenwood is about even with Van Siclen, who really impressed toward the end of last year, and not just for his penalty heroics.

Wesleyan and Tufts heading to OT...Majumder clean through hit the upright...slightly fancy the Jumbos to finish this one, although I could see Cowie-Haskell popping up with the winner. Finely poised.

Well, call it even on open misses now.

Greenwood must have saved it as Weleyan got the corner... Did he?

Maybe but I think ACH mainly flubbed it....either way, ACH should have buried it.

The little freshman for Wes is really good.

Wow, Tufts really lucky to get out of Middletown CT with a 0-0 tie!  Handball by Tufts in the Box not called and 2 open net shots missed by Wesleyan's Haskell

[PaulNewman]

Seems like Shapiro is still working through his roster a bit in terms of finding combinations and who is going to play where.  Schaible was playing right back and Zinner was at right mid.  Is that how they usually play?  I thought it was other way around or Schaible in holding mid slot.  Also had Glover up to with Majumder for a whole.  Don't think we say Glover for Brandeis game.

To be fair, Tufts missed at least 2 wide open chances as well.  I thought Tufts carried the play first 30 minutes of 2nd half and Wes edged them for the next 20.  Didn't see the the 1st half.

After watching the Wesleyan game and the Tufts vs Plymouth State game, not sure Tufts is a #1 in country team!!  Amherst should prevail when they play Saturday!!

This was the kid I was revving up in August..I saw this kid at Berkshire School and 2 times this spring. Wesleyan is going to start benefiting from, like Bowdoin, lifting the SAT requirement which is ridiculous.
