Watching the Con v Salem game, commentator seem to have so many things wrong, eg the winner here does not go on to the round of 16.

[d4_Pace]

Yeah this guy has never seen a soccer game before. If I hear the phrase goalie kick again I might go crazy.

[d4_Pace]

That being said, of bigger concern for Conn is that this is still tied with 15 to go and they aren't carving out clear chances.

See my notes.  Trying to be nice.

The Conn College/Salem State match in New London, CT ends in a 0-0 draw after extra time.  We are heading to kicks from the mark to determine who advances tomorrow to play the winner of NYU vs St. Joe's Maine.

[Mr.Right]

Conn just enjoys slowing the game down and trying to break down a team of 11. Slow in transition to attack is an understatement. They have been close to their worst today. Choking off counters. midfield play backwards to swing it around the back and attack a different part of 11 behind the ball. All defense has to do was shift. Did they not learn anything from last weekend??? HINT: GO FASTER VERTICALLY. YOU WILL FIND URSELVES WITH GREATEAR #'s

Was it me, or did it seem like the Conn keeper moved early on every PK?

He was whistled for it on the first kick, necessitating a re-do, but then it appeared that he never stopped, as if daring the linesman to call it every time.

And a couple of notes for the PBP guy: The Camels advance to the Round of 32, not the Sweet 16. And the past participle of "shoot" is "shot," not "shooted." 

[Mr.Right]

Tufts have some guys back. #22Aidan Welsh and #10 Zach Seigelstein back Centrally. #11 Cano and #9 Jacobs back out wide? #26 Gibson Campbell back as well.

1:41 PM Eastern update-- Conn College advances to the round of 32 on kicks from the mark, 3-2 after 5 rounds, to play the winner of NYU vs St. Joe's Maine tomorrow.

Note:  Placing this in bold for that NSN commentator who obviously has no clue about soccer. 

[Mr.Right]

Shocking.....Start of 2nd Half NEC comes out and scores. 1-1 at Tufts 43 min left.

[Mr.Right]

#3 Ian Daly his 2nd easy tap in Goal of the day. NEC defense looked weak sauce. 2-1 Tufts and that likely will do it with 40 minutes left. Announcer "two clinical finishes by Daly". Umm yea clinical....

[d4_Pace]

Well Mr Right, he Daly raises you with his third tap in for the first Tufts hat trick since I've been involved with the program. Not bad for a right back

[Mr.Right]

lol 3 tap-ins although that was a bit different then the first two. The 3rd goal was all Cano out wide. Tufts looks much different with Cano wide. Jacobs gets a Goal and now they are clicking.


.Pretty sweet goal by St.Joe's #7 on a set piece to go up 1-0 in the 4th minute over NYU.

[Mr.Right]

Meanwhile the Conn SID has got greedy and given Conn a Win in PK's. No sir it is a Draw unless in NCAA Final. Now Draw does not mean coloring books and crayons.

[d4_Pace]

I understand that a draw is the convention but it does seem silly that its counted as a tie when one team is crying and the other is running shirtless to the crowd.
