I hate tryin to watch 2 games that I want to see. I was watching Trinity v Conn and missed Endicott's goal 3 minutes in to go up 1-0. Sounded like a long range shot that got by Alcorn.

[blooter442]

So, uh, Endicott 1-0 up at Williams inside 3 minutes. From outside the box on the left wing, over Alcorn and into the top corner off the far post. Not sure if it took a deflection but if not then that is a fantastic shot.

Endicott starting strongly. They certainly aren't overawed by the occasion. Alcorn had no chance, it was right up top.

[Mr.Right]

What a goal Devlin to Lockwood for Conn as they go up 1-0 over Trinity about 10 minutes in. Conn looks more interested in the game than Trinity so far and I can say they are way more fit.

[blooter442]

Endicott almost with a second off the corner. Gulls are looking dangerous on the two set pieces they've had thus far.

[blooter442]

16th minute, Muellers on a rebound, 1-1. Roofed it.

[Mr.Right]

Yes I agree. Just looking at Endicott I would think they are undersized and an average team but they are very scrappy, work hard and have some skill. As I am typing Williams ties it up 1-1 but an even game

[Mr.Right]

Trinity ties it up 1-1 off a rebound. Conn's defenders with a couple mistakes and Conn's GK came chargin off his line and didnt get all the ball. Trinity knots it up 1-1. Pretty even game so far.

[blooter442]

Tufts not having much luck on the North Shore thus far this year, Gordon 1-0 up just over 10 minutes in. Any word on a potential Majumder return? Brother? Nutmeg?

On another note, I heard a low-flying jet flying right over Wenham in the background of the Tufts-Gordon videocast, and correctly guessed the type of engine just by hearing it (looked at the Flightradar24 map of the area to confirm). I need better hobbies.

[Mr.Right]

Conn goes up 2-1 on a long throw that Devlin finished off a nice header to give Conn a 2-1 lead. Trinity's defense caught flat footed. Trinity a massive defensive breakdown. I have a feeling that will not be the last goal scored in this game

[blooter442]

Good shot by Rojas, Gordon GK makes a good save. Resulting corner was poor. Tufts growing into this game.

[Brother Flounder]

Good shot by Rojas, Gordon GK makes a good save. Resulting corner was poor. Tufts growing into this game.

Yes, I just tuned in and saw that.  Didn't see the Gordon goal....

[blooter442]

Just realized that Greenwood is not starting for Tufts today. Anyone have any intel? As much as I slate him for his weakness on set pieces, he is still a very good goalkeeper, and I can't imagine that they would bench him.

[Mr.Right]

Another massive wind advantage / disadvantage in Williamstown. Endicott gets into the half 1-1 going into the wind. Weinstein made a couple good saves but Endicott's wingbacks look like the weakness for them. 2nd Half should be interesting with Endicott getting the wind advantage.

[Mr.Right]

Devlin another goal off a long throw. 3-1 Conn. Followed up his own header off the crossbar with another header into the net. 2 goals an 1 assist in this game an Devlin looks to be a lock on Nescac POW before the weekend. Trinity's GK Zabala is just NOT GOOD. Trinity's defense has been flat footed and un-interested all game. Conn in complete control now.

[blooter442]

As good as Rashid is, his M.O. seems to be to get the ball, slow down, and attempt to dribble around the defender. It may be just me, but he seems a step slower than he was before the injury - that would be understandable. Most frustratingly, he doesn't pass the ball when he's got teammates in significantly better positions. Now watch him go on a mazy run and score the winner.
