1 Goal in their last 310 minutes of play, that's gotta catch up with Tufts soon, no?

We have been saying that all year and they keep on plugging along...

I did not catch Hopkins 2 misses..Did Mieth save or did Hopkins miss?

I don't know - this feed really sucks. Maybe Blooter will weigh in?

Good game to watch. Hopkins was better with the ball and on the ground but like Right said, didn't do it in the final third.  Tufts is gritty but could do better in the center final third... On go the Jumbos...

Amherst and UR ready to kickoff....This game will surely get ugly

[Mr.Right]

UR with a great chance off a corner and #32 had a free header that just went wide..Looked like UR set a nifty pick to free #32 up but the kid has to finish that..

No idea, OldNed — I've been out of town and just checking in now. Didn't see any of the game and will probably have to rely on live stats for the next one as well. Tufts just continues to chug along despite a lack of firepower up top and key absences in Tasker et al.

I would love to know what Coleman's penalty record is...he has scored all the ones I've seen him take and obviously that continued today. He doesn't hit them top corner or seem to get any real power behind them but he always scores them. Maybe it's his run up, as he starts central and shuffles to the side? Either way, I think he knows he's going to score (as do his teammates) every time he steps up, and it's particularly telling he's their regular PK taker.

I guess the adage "offense wins games, defense wins championships" rings true. And in a situation where you can get all the offense you need from PKs, the second part seems particularly prudent.

Amherst Hlinomaz a nice give and go but UR defender made a nice tackle to save the GK...Real wet field and UR looks up to the task physically against Amherst. You were correct Bloots UR can match Amherst physically.

[Mr.Right]

Amherst Kelly scores on a header off a corner to give Amherst the lead 20 minutes in. Strange goal as kelly got to the ball but did not look like he got all of it but still beat UR GK...Honestly it is wet and all but UR's GK MUST GET TO THAT....Bad goal to concede

[Mr.Right]

I must say that an Amherst / Messiah matchup would be interesting. 2 COMPLETELY different styles


Still a long way to go here as UR will have plenty more chances in this game

[Mr.Right]

GOD...UR another fantastic chance to get a goal in front of the net and just cannot FINISH.

[Falconer]

Amherst might be looking for a good place to park the bus. They seem content to sit on the lead.

[Falconer]

ENORMOUS unforced error by Rochester keeper, who picked up the ball after giving up his dribble. Amherst getting a direct kick from maybe 15 yards out. They fail to convert and we're back to the other end again.

[Falconer]

Another unforced error by Rochester defense. Outside back tries to let the ball roll over the end line, but it hits his foot and Amherst gets a free corner--which they do nothing with.

Rochester possessing again.

[Falconer]

A little scuffle breaks about behind the Amherst goal after a scramble near the post. Amherst keeper is good at punching balls out of harm's way, or he'd be in trouble.

[Mr.Right]

Ref starting to lose control of the Amherst v UR match...Amherst will be content to just high press UR and hold onto the lead. UR is going to have to get creative to get a goal here. Keep shooting on Amherst GK as they are not generating many dangerous chances here
