NESCAC

Thomas has given NESCAC sides good games in the past few years -- the Terriers also ran Brandeis close in the 2015 NCAA 1st Round before losing 2-1 on a last-minute goal -- but Bowdoin appears to be superior today. LaBrie and Nicholas have hardly had a kick.

I remember that game well for other reasons.....

Me too! Perhaps not in the same league as the Williamson headbutt in terms of brute force, but the Thomas player hitting the ref was similarly despicable. I'm surprised neither the program nor the player didn't get a public reprimand the way UMASS-Boston did. Absolute lunacy.

[Mr.Right]

Would that be considered a smash and grab Bloots?

So slick it didn't even set off the alarm.

Thomas' first shot of the game to Bowdoin's 9. Very much a hoof ball forward but nice ball nonetheless, great flick, and good finish. I did say they show up for the big ones!

[blooter442]

Thomas is starting to have some possession down Bowdoin's right. Still would say Bowdoin has had the better of the play, but Thomas is the team on the board.

[Mr.Right]

Great save by Thomas GK but it was shot right at him. Stenquist having a nightmare game so far...

[blooter442]

I most enjoy the streams without commentary like this one. You get to hear the raw noise from the field (and, as someone who never played more than college intramurals, it's certainly an interesting insight into the bench chatter/etc., although I have seen some games fro the perspective of the bench).

[Mr.Right]

Yes...Like Brandeis games...Wiercinski pissed that wasn't a yellow..he is right that it will allow game to get out of control

[Mr.Right]

Niang misses a free header..Thomas not the most disciplined defensively...But can the GK have a wonder game?

[blooter442]

Hahahahahaha wow. Case in point. Thomas coach goes "ref, what's your rationale (for not giving a card)?" Ref goes "it was his first foul." Thomas coach replies "People commit murder for the first time too!" Chuckles from spectators all around.

Don't think so, he doesn't look as good as Sternas was a couple years back. But, if you're Bowdoin, you have to take one of those chances eventually.

[blooter442]

Oooh...close. Bowdoin kid puts a cross/shot juuuuuust over the top left with the 'keeper scrambling.

[blooter442]

At half, Bowdoin with 19 shots to Thomas' 2, but Thomas ahead where it matters.

[Mr.Right]

Not sure what to make of Bowdoin's back 4 tonight....Stevie is a beast in net but we have


McColl                Bubb              Ward         MacMillan                 


Ward has not been involved much but Bubb and Stenquist holding keep giving the ball away. They need to settle down take a second and find a teammates feet. Nescac teams should be goin at Macmillan as he looks the weakest of the bunch defensively. Niang and Morant should be using their significant height advantage to get a goal off a set piece. Let's see if Wiercinski changes at Halftime.
