Tufts getting a bit of their own medicine here with St.Joe's defensively. The question is can they do this without any mistakes for 110 minutes because I am not sure how many chances St.joe's will get in this match

That is very true, but I will also say that the Monks will feel more and more confident the longer the game is scoreless. That said, Tufts has been here before, so they will keep plugging. Still, very interesting doubled-edged sword.

When Shapiro subs CB Najjar out it looks like they are playing with 3 backs and Kulcsar in front of them with 10 minutes left in the Half

They did go 3-5-2 against Wesleyan, so it wouldn't surprise me if the did so today to try and break SJC down.

Interesting...I did not know they went 3-5-2 against Wesleyan..Anyhow...0-0 at the Half...St.Joe's staying VERY compact and disciplined defensively. Tufts looks like they have no answers in breaking this down right now. They are clearly frustrated..St.Joe's showing no interest in trying to attack TBH. They are more focused on their defensive shape which is understandable I still though am not sure they can hold this for 110. Should be interesting

Eichhorst gets a good look but rips it right at St.Joe's GK...Tufts has to force him low..get him down when they have chances

[Mr.Right]

Best chance there for Tufts on a nice half-volley but again hit right at GK's eyes...Get him down

[Mr.Right]

Hmm never seen Kulcar get subbed...Also, no Braun today as he must be injured..

Springfield ties it up 1-1 with Amherst. 330 left

[Mr.Right]

Wow...Did u see the goal?

Tufts just TO SLOW in transition when they get the ball.They need to get it and play fast before St.Joe's gets set. It is like playing a clone of yourself. They are just knocking the ball around the back wasting precious minutes here

0-0 Tufts and St.Joe's Heading to OT...St.Joe's has done a fantastic job of just flat out frustrating Tufts today. It is a bit cynical but the only way St.Joe's can play this. They have worked extremely hard all day. This game has to be headed to PK's. I just do not see Tufts getting a goal in OT and if Shapiro loses this game I promise you this will be his most frustrating loss in his 8 years at Tufts. This is not a fun way to lose I can promise you that

I missed the goal. Had the game on while also watching Tufts and saw score change. Tufts  better get one in OT.. PKS will be tough. St Joe's fans a lot more vocal than Tufts.

Amherst going to OT

Mieth a fantastic stop to save Tufts season in 1st OT

[Mr.Right]

Halliday with a clean look and time but it was blocked..Gotta get that on target

Wow, nice save indeed. Wonder if he could be the difference if they go to PKs?
