We both agree Nutter and had basically the same observations....With the wind Williams will become more dangerous and this is a MUST WIN for Tufts for their at-large chances..If I were Shapiro I would sit in a bit and play ugly if need be

[Mr.Right]

Well we both SPOKE to soon...Tufts Majumder gets a sweet goal off a beautiful ball to him at the 18 1 minute into the 2nd Half...NIce goal by Majumder and that is a HUGE GOAL.....Tufts is looking very dangerous going forward, there only question mark might be in the back but Tufts is a legit NCAA team, not quite as solid as last year because of the seniors they lost but they will be right in the thick of it

[blooter442]

Well then, I said Majumder would be up for this! Wouldn't have predicted the scoreline, but Williams caught napping right out of the gates of the second half. The angle looked way too narrow from how wide he was, didn't see him taking the shot there, but he made a really nice finish and those are big goals not just in the context of the game but also his confidence.

Agreed...But where was the Williams LB? Was he dragged over to the middle? Majumder had tons of time and space...Majumder is becoming the best striker in the league and possible Nescac POY candidate

[Mr.Right]

Greenwood having a great game today and he will need to continue to play out of his mind to give Tufts a legit NCAA run

[Mr.Right]

WOW Tufts just dominating Williams today. Williams looks like they came out of halftime Again un-interested and UNWILLING to work for 90 minutes to get back into the game...Williams just a MASSIVE disappointment this year and it is getting really ugly.

[Mr.Right]

Turning to the Wesleyan at Amherst game...Both teams with the same line-ups for the most part but looks like Wheeler SACKED his GK Katkavich for Brian Harnett...I thought Katkavich played well early this year but apparently he is getting the blame for the Trinity/Midd and Williams losses....Let's see what they have in the tank for Amherst

[Mr.Right]

Conn v Bowdoin 0-0 at the HALF...This game will be a massive battle in the 2nd Half..I think I will watch this one unless Wesleyan can snag a tying goal against Amherst, which I am not expecting...

Midd always plays down to their competition..Came out sleeping more than likely..Anyone see the goal or who scored?  That could be one to watch also although it could be an UGLY one

[blooter442]

Amherst score less than 4 minutes in...whether it's coming out of the gates strong or other teams falling asleep, I'm not sure, but the Jeffs' ability to score early has certainly helped them this year.

Speaking of fast starts, Bates scores 4 minutes in against Middlebury. I'm going to guess that was a case of complacency on the Panthers' part.

3-0 in Williamstown has got to be one of the legendary scorelines. Two for Majumder - I figured he would have a big game but a brace against Williams is a collector's item. Williams again blows hot and cold - they pick up big results on the road but will now be 1-4-1 at home this year. IMHO Tufts isn't the team it was last year, but on this evidence they're in good form and ready. Would it be criminal for me to suggest that Rashid isn't the same player he was? Before, he had players like Ebobisse, etc. to work off of and so looked pretty good, but his stats have remained stagnant since that freshman campaign. No doubt the injury hurt, and he really can't do it all on his own, so maybe I'm being a bit harsh. Still like his pace and trickery.

Re Mr.Right: Agreed, the Williams LB got caught out there. No right making that shot from that angle, but a good finish nonetheless.

[blooter442]

Midd always plays down to their competition

THIS.

[Mr.Right]

I was wrong looks like Bowdoin up 1-0 on Conn at the Half....The Nescac standings are going to be all askew if some of these results hold...I guess bates scored on a Noah Riskind Header most likely off a set piece

[Nutmeg]

Right, I was also shocked by the second half and Tufts superiority. Goals by Majumbder and Kayne. Mouteneau looked good for Williams in the first half and Dory should have scored. Greenwood played excellent as you say.  Here is my question. I am a big Rashid supporter. I am miffed about his play this year. Do they not get him the ball? Is he a step slower due to his injuries? Thoughts?

Watching the Conn College v. Bowdoin game with sound muted.
At one point in 1st half the camera panned to scoreboard which clearly said "Camels 1, Bowdoin 0".
Not sure what the score is, though in at least one instance I know the NESCAC site had an incorrect final in a Women's Soccer game this season.
Any confirmation of the actual CC-Bowdoin score appreciated!

[Mr.Right]

Bloots it would not be criminal to say Rashid is not the same....He has talent around him maybe not like User and Ebobisse but I think he has lost a 1/2 a step from that ACL injury but is still mighty dangerous. Opponents def key in on him..More disappointing is how this team has not responded to a new coach. They all just seem uninterested and unwilling to put in the max effort...Just very ugly to watch....If ever a team needed a Players Only meeting it would be Williams

[Mr.Right]

Jeez well we need a accurate SCORE of the Conn v Bowdoin game..
