I think a wet grass field may have contributed to some of the sliding tackles.

Reviewed the video, and the cards were almost all there.  Some really unnecessary fouls and cards by both sides.  Babson got 2 players sent off and Conn had 1.  Conn and Babson players headbutted/leaned on each other after a nasty tackle which led to the first two reds.  Babson player sent off later for 2nd yellow.  First was for crunching the keeper in the first half and second was for a late trip in the 2nd.  Only card I did not like was the yellow for shirt removal on the tying goal by Babson.  That is not a must in college soccer according to the rule book.




Thanks, i watch a lot of Conn games (love their style especially in the final third) and do not consider them a dirty team at all so I was surprised that a non league game go so out of hand.

Was at the game - things were a bit amped from the start. It was alumni weekend and Babson was riding a 12 game home win streak so they came out of the gates with a ton of energy and looking to push the physicality.

Connecticut College is far from a dirty team. Babson put in some disgusting tackles that have no place in the sport and Conn captain Alessandro Horvath-Diano was protecting his teammates. Connecticut College will win the NESCAC on the backs of senior leadership and class play!

So, granted, I didn't go watch every card, but I did catch the first half cards and then the first red for Babson... Meh.

I wouldn't call any of that especially dirty and the Babson wasn't a straight red, it was his second yellow. Not like he actually head butted the guy, things just got a little heated.

Conn has a talented team but fouls too much, with a good Ref they will suffer!

Connecticut College does not foul much against teams of similar ranking. For example against Tufts, Conn had 9 fouls compared to Tufts 14. Against Babson it was obviously in retaliation to the dirty play from the Beavers.

@Hopkins92 I am finding this, "mildly amusing"!

So I really, really, hate to discuss the worthiness of YCs or RCs, particularly in games involving my squad, and I'm not going to dispute any of the cards issued in the game, but here are some observations:

Gazo's 2 YCs = his entire total from last year.  I've seen nothing from him in 2 years to think of him as a dirty player.
Last year Babson had 34 YC vs. opponents 33 and 0 RC vs. opponents 1.  That does not strike me as a dirty team.
Or does that make the opponents equally dirty? 
I will say FY Yablonovskiy who got the other YC2/RC pushes the envelope with chippiness and has lost his composure at times.  I think the Babson coach needed to sit him down after the 1st YC for the remainder of the match.
Coach Anderson played at a time when the physicality of NE soccer was far, far, greater than what we see today.  That in no way excuses physical excesses.  It does nothing for me.

Same Conn team that experienced back-to-back games last year with players red-carded off for using racial and homophobic slurs?

To be fair, the red card they got vs Midd last year was for an off the ball cheap shot.  The slur was dropped by the ejected player after he did the cheap shot.

Yes, you're correct! Such heinous behavior, I forgot the sequence of events.

Wow!  First I'm hearing of this.
