How did Bowdoin get the 3rd goal?

Sorry.  I am watching and doing some paperwork -- I missed seeing it.   There was a corner kick and then Niang scored.  I think it happened in the "scrum."  They credited Max McPheron with the assist. ( I think he might be a first year, because I don't remember ever seeing him last year?  I am too lazy to go to their website and check. lol.)

[Mr.Right]

Bowdoin looking like they will finish off Midd 3-1. That is an impressive win for them as they continue to play very well at home. I only caught the 2nd Half but looks like Niang got 2 goals. If he starts getting on the end of set pieces they will be a tough out the rest of the year. Also, they have gotten past the tough part of their schedule with Amherst, Midd, Wesleyan and Williams done and the last game of the regular season being Tufts they should be able to pick up wins in between. If they finish strong it is possible they could host the Nescac tournament but still a long way to go.

Well I was proven wrong as Williams goes up 1-0 by Malcolm Singleton off a long throw/rebound/ball bouncing around about 15 minutes in...Big goal...This is a long throwers fiesta as both teams have them..

I predicted 2-1 Williams, but Amherst had the ball in the Ephs' end for the first 15 minutes or so in my observations. Big goal indeed.

[Mr.Right]

Williams has actually looked pretty good from 18 to 18. Besides the goal they have not had any other chances but they buried the one they got. Williams working very hard and both teams playing a ton of Frosh and Soph. Amherst has looked very sloppy with the ball as they keep giving the ball away in Williams half. They have had the ball more than Williams but frankly have not had any dangerous chances so far.

Wow Serpone benches GK Lee Owen to start the 2nd Half. He was shaky coming out of his net but an interesting move for sure

[Mr.Right]

Amherst ties it up 1-1 off a corner. Game on

[Mr.Right]

Hlinomaz almost makes it 2-1 on a nicely taken free kick just outside the box. Amherst has Williams pinned in a bit 2nd Half.

Niang played a much more offensive game, overall than he sometimes plays.  McPherron did a really good job as a CAM; he created a lot of offensive opportunities. If Bowdoin can keep this up in the midfield, I think that they could do very well both in the league and in the NCAA playoffs.  If the midfield continues to play like they played today, they will have the offense to complement their defense...which is generally just rock solid.  I will definitely watch whatever their next game is to see what will happen.  Maybe McPherron will be the missing piece that they needed.

Thanks for the updates.  I was watching but then it froze. My screen is frozen with 44:02 to play in the 2nd.

Amherst trying to apply pressure with long throw ins, but Williams with a couple good chances, looking very dangerous on the counter. Really impressive hustle and commitment to get bodies forward. Certainly should have scored around the 65' minute mark but the Williams player didn't see his comrade wide open in the center, could have rolled it to him for a tap in.

[Mr.Right]

Yea I think that was Sisco who had that chance but he was just to slow with the ball at his feet. Williams does look good on the counter today as this is not what it liked like the past 4 games. I do not even have a problem with these long throws but for the fact they take about 20-30 seconds before each one.  Still IMO Amherst can sniff that 2nd goal as Williams is giving them plenty of set pieces and long throws.

[Mr.Right]

Williams almost gets one off a nicely taken set piece but an even better save by the Amherst GK..Not sure Owen would have gotten that one. Amherst comes back down the field an hits one of the bar..Game is starting to get stretched

[cac.aholic1]

Speaking of which, poor defensive series and communication leads to a good chance for mcmillan who hits the upright. ON the ensuing corner, a wide open volley for Amherst.... and a total whiff.

Who is the redheaded midfielder for Williams? Very lively and dangerous.
