Let the critique begin.  Understood it is 1 game, and Rutgers-Camden has a good team from the highlights and games I have watched.  Duhawk Defense will eat these forwards up all game long.  Duhawks will find trouble scoring on the grass surface and getting through the defense of Rutgers-Camden.

Loras 1
Rutgers 0

I would love to hear all of the Loras fans detailed recaps (formation, stand out players, players to look out for that come off the bench, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) of the games they have all watched of Rutgers-Camden. 

Also, what other teams on the east coast do you watch on a regular basis?

# 25 in Rutgers defense is a very good player and will be hard to beat in the air/ground... Do you want more?

Yes, as Loras plays with 11 players I am sure this Mighty Rutgers team does too. Unless they play a man or two down every game, then I'd say that would be impressive to have an unbeaten record.

Took a look at that game film from their match against TCNJ and here are some things I gathered:

1. Two primary center backs stay back while outside backs play up in midfield at times
2. One player will often pressure, but I didn't see pressure from multiple players at once.
3. Suspect to quick build up; after RC scored, TCNJ came right off the kickoff and earned a corner by going right at RC
4. GK is quick to roll ball out to one of his center backs as opposed to punting it deep
5. 4-5-1...low pressure when opponent is in defensive third
6. Backline likes to stay spread out, forcing the ball to the outside
7. Buildup usually comes through midfield with short passes, but when trying to counter, will send a long ball forward and have a forward run under it.
8. They don't sub a whole lot...15 guys in their Elite 8 game...Mike Ryan (21G) played 87/90 minutes...

But the GK does take his own kicks...

There is a "watch live" button in the interactive bracket at ncaa.com, if you click on the semifinal matches.

They must have changed it or my dumbass missed the big box in the the middle yesterday when I looked.    I believe when I voted it was 60% Loras/40% Camden.   Now at 55% Loras/ 45% Camden.

Damn i missed all the fun and arguing. Although i do have to mention someone's quote about stats not meaning anything in soccer towards future games. Good point. Everyone carry on..

Doolittledog, love your tagline and "stay thirsty my friends."  "He once parallel parked a train."

I feel terrible for you Loras guys.  I have absolutely no affiliation with Loras but I started following the team this year and am just crushed that they lost and especially the way they lost.  I thought they showed great collegiate spirit in hanging in there after so many chances produced no goals, and they really looked like they were in the clear after taking the lead.  I thought the ball on replay DID cross the line by an inch or two, but should have never happened.  Really wanted to see a Loras-Messiah final too.  For my money Loras is currently the #2 D3 program in the country -- Messiah, Loras, OWU.

Great career for Cavers.  A truly special player, especially for his size and slight build.
