Amherst survives. NESCAC alive.... Will this be Serpone's year?

Could be!  Was very impressed how they kept focused and did not get frustrated by a very stingy Trinity defense today.  Amherst stuck to their game and finally got the breakthrough.  If they continue to keep this discipline and effort, it will take a Herculean effort to beat them.

Definitely,

NPL- on fire
Odulate- NESCAC POY
Bull- stingy goalie
Kayne- best all-around player in NESCAC
Majumder- emerged as an excellent scorer

Maybe

Patel- underrated steady left back
Conrad.......good scorer

This may be over the top.....but this is the CAC board!
Amherst wins over Trinity Un in the 2nd OT...1-0....with about 5 minutes to go.  Nico PL got the score in a strike in close...in the box area.
That is the details of the game for those that did NOT watch the game live or OnIne!
Now you posters can continue to chat on whatever you were chatting about
Oh yes, the details are now posted on the Amherst website.

Will be interesting if Amherst wins this whole thing despite being knocked out by the 8th seed in the NESCAC tournament. I believe the 1 seed had never lost the first game of the conference tournament besides for Tufts last year, and look where that got them.

Surely the Amherst players (and the Tufts players from last year) benefitted from the rest of having almost two weeks off to prepare for the NCAAs. Maybe being the 1 seed and losing to the 8th seed is actually an omen for national success?

OK, folks. I know I wear a giant A on my hat and my heart on my sleeve for the Purple and White, but I hafta say I'm a little Surprised that you NESCAC-ers can't  just bite back the bitters and wish these guys well.

3 out 4 New England teams drop out of the tourney in their round of 16 games.  Congrats to Amherst...headed to their third final-4 appearance in program history.

Until that one-week stretch back in late October, Amherst had been the consensus #1 team for most of the season. They were the better team today and were yesterday, and they have as good of a chance at winning it all (in fact, I'd say the best chance) as they've ever had. Good luck to the Jeffs. I certainly think their semi-final against Oneonta will be the more entertaining semi of the two.

I am a Tufts supporter, but elated that a fellow NESCAC school is heading to final 4. Demonstrates the quality of the league. Good luck Amherst.

I more partial to the Ephraim Purple Cows but Go Amherst! Go NESCAC!

[Jump4Joy]

Thanks for the support, fellas.
Go Amherst. Go NESCAC.

I find it very difficult to root for Amherst but IMO they will WIN this NCAA Tournament. They are clearly the best team and deserved to win it all in 2012. Serpone does not have the best of luck though so anything can happen but they are the most talented side in D3

I know we are all immersed in the mighty Amherst but any further comments on this?  Even Mr. Right is quiet.......
