"Despite what people in the chat rooms think, nobody from the Liberty League wants to make the trip here to play Middlebury."

LOL please....the guy is full of interesting info, does his homework and is a pretty good announcer but sometimes can be a bit much.

0-0 Midd and Norwich end in a draw. Good result for Norwich and a disappointing one for Midd...Midd had numerous chances to win this game but could not finish. I will say they looked pretty good and have some depth this year. GK never tested but you better believe Conn will test him Saturday.

He does a good job; I just got a chuckle out of it. Interesting that he didn't speak about Midd's (perceived) reluctance to travel to the LL schools.

I must say I kind of got distracted in the middle of Midd's OT game because Hamilton has really looked solid against Oswego State and lead 2-0 2nd Half.  Aidan Wood has picked up right where he left off as I think he got a goal but since I tuned in has had about 3-4 LEGIT looks on net using his speed to just blow by Oswego defenders but could not finish. Each chance was using his left foot and that is a good sign. If he gets that left peg going he will be scoring double digit goals this season.  Hamilton has gone with GK Lins Cadwell in net as it looks like it will be his job to lose. The Back 4 which I was most interested in considering they lost 3/4 of their backline has looked a mix of size an speed. RB is #2 Sebastien Degiunes who is 5'7 small but quick as hell and has some skill. CB has 2 monsters in #16 Luke Eckels and #21 Milo Donovan. They are big but at least on the turf they have looked quick for their size. LB is #18 Jack Sheehan who is also big and has some speed but not much skill as he bombs everything downfield. Has been beaten a couple times as well but does have a monster long throw. Final note: off the bench is local Williamstown kid Sam Dils who is a very skilled player with pace. I look for him to contribute right away.

UPDATE: Jefri Schmidt misses a PK in what might the worst effort I have seen in a while. Give the ball to Wood..That would have been 3-0 and goodnight now Oswego gets the momentum and is puttin some pressure on Cadwell. They got 3 in in 2017 v Hamilton so this game is not over

Random Thought:

Why do I feel like my weekly edition of Nor'easter News was half assed this week....

Because being south of the Mason-Dixon (as the author was this weekend) isn't the right weather for a Nor'easter.

In all seriousness, you'll get the real thing starting next week.

[Mr.Right]

Tufts with a different starting lineup than I expected..No Rojas, Van Brewer, Braun and Jameson....One Frosh starts Ian Daly out of CA...Jack Delaney and Max Jacobs also starting

[blooter442]

Looks like a 4-3-3 with Jacobs and up top with Tasker and Lane behind.

[blooter442]

Tufts on the board. Great cross by Lane and header by Tasker.

[blooter442]

Lane had WAY too much space. Either way you've gotta put the right ball in and he did that — pacy and curling. Was right in front of me.

[Mr.Right]

IDK...Keep us updated as usual the Jumbocast is USELESS....2018 folks

[Mr.Right]

So do we have Paoletta and Najjar at CB with Weatherbie and the Frosh out wide? Aroh holding with Trevorrow in front of him with Delaney and then Tasker and Lane wide with Jacobs up top

Affirmative.

Delaney is the standout in midfield thus far. Great workrate to win back the ball after he passed it away taking a quick free kick.

[blooter442]

UMB with a chance off the free kick but the header is over the bar.

[Mr.Right]

Back on live here and I have just seen a silly foul by Aroh and a Najjar giveaway

[Mr.Right]

IDK Bloots this looks like a 4-5-1 with Tasker and Lane wide..Kinda like last year...Announcer gives us his tactical analysis of Northeastern Mens Soccer using 5 at the back but pushing the wingbacks high so its like a Juve 3 back system..Not sure about that
