Murph is a harda**.  When my older son played for Brown, Mike Noonan was the autocratic but tactically very adept head coach, and Murph was his hatchet man assistant.  There's little that's gentle or subtle about his "managerial" style...

Noons is a very good coach...Taking Clemson a long way back from Trevor Adair another former Brown Coach..Noons was also a fantastic player at Midd for former Midd, UVM and Skidmore Coach Ronny McEachean...I just think Murphy must loosen up a touch but that is me..Obviously this year it worked but it really can wear a team down especially late in the year

Stevens gets a late PK off a hand ball...Tough call...1-0 Stevens 89th minute...Should be ballgame..

Tough way to lose. Midd thoroughly outplayed Stevens, but sometimes the ball bounces the wrong way.

Agreed. However, Midd should have finished their chances and they did not today. Congrats to Saward on a fine career..

I second the congrats on his fine career!

Bowdoin's physicality and quick closing is really bothering RUN to start this game..Newark cannot string 3 passes together. That being said neither team has generated much of anything dangerous on net

Pleasantly surprised that Bowdoin isn't camped out in its own half, and is making some effort to get forward. That said, I agree that they haven't produced anything of note.

RUN starting to settle a bit, and they have a good effort go just wide.

[Mr.Right]

Very nice turn and strike by RUN just goes wide...

Newark with a nice 1-2 and cross and the kid has a wide open look at bangs it off the crossbar from 6 yards out...HAVE TO FINISH THAT

[blooter442]

Funny to see that Stevens' goalkeeper's name is Aaron Henry...the inverse of my first and middle name.

That was an awful miss. No idea how he missed that.

[blooter442]

Bowdoin goes down the other end and heads one just over...'keeper had it covered but it looked close.

[blooter442]

That RUN chance was an absolute sitter...it wasn't like he had a defender pressuring him and no way van Siclen was getting there. Oh man.

[blooter442]

OH HOW DID BOWDOIN MISS? Put it over the bar from a yard out off the corner...really nice service by McColl.

That is where RUN 5'6 GK absolutely kills them IMO...Still gotta finish though

Well it's pretty clear that's become Bowdoin's tactic -- put it into the box and make him come for it (and then get caught in no-mans land and finish).

[Mr.Right]

Correct
