Hobart gets a W with a 1:0 win at Potsdam.  Potsdam could have evened it with a nice header in 60th minute that simply missed.  Other than that zone-marking lapse on a corner ... Hobart seemed comfortable.

I watched the 2nd half and didn't think Hobart looked that good.  I'm not sure they ever strung together more than 3 passes. Luckily for them, Potsdam didn't look much better.

My analysis might be biased  

Potsdam certainly was very active in second half and that disrupted flow. The extensive subbing by Hobart (they played 24 players and never subbed any of the back five), made it that much harder to play fluidly.  Pretty sure the Hobart GK never had to make a stop (repeating that the missed header would have changed the game), even though he had 20+ GK's and a bunch of punts.

I don't find you biased at all Part Bart.
Infact your analysis is spot on in my view.

I would  go as far as saying Hobart might be the best 1 win team in the country.
They have always been a competitive team and at times unlucky not to advance and make a November run.

I think most of us on here try to keep our passion for our team to a minimal (as much as can be done consciously).

It is a very difficult thing to be totally objective when discussing the home team.
We might subconsciously see things we want to see, but on the other hand, I think when you love your club/school/team so much we also tend to be harder on them than the average fan would be so it evens out.

Wow!  An Oswego red card at 15' against the GK should make the Saints' afternoon go more smoothly than anticipated, up a man and facing the backup GK.  A PK following the RC foul has the Saints up 1-0.

[Saint of Old]

Nothing is a given yet though...
Saints are still on the road and u against a good team.

A possession team should be able to take advantage of playing a man up though.

[Ommadawn]

College substitution rules make an early red card potentially less devastating than it would be in other settings, but fatigue is still likely to be a factor against a team than can move the ball as well as SLU does.

[Saint of Old]

But if SLU was a man up, why keep playing a freshman that is on a yellow?
I don't understand it?

[Ommadawn]

Inexplicable.  10v10 after a SLU red card.

[Ommadawn]

The Saints go up 2-0 on a McNamee goal.  The audio stream is about 1 minute behind Live Stats.

[Saint of Old]

Needed that.
2-0 SLU.

Still need to get one more and be ready for the big one tomm.

Is everyone else's video stream not working?  Or is it just me?  Currently using the radio broadcast which is decent but still no video. 

[stlawus]

Nice wins for Saints.  Huge test tomorrow.  Still early in the season but tomorrow should tell us where this Squad will stand for the season.

Wow. Down 1-0 and playing with 10 men, Union ties up Skidmore. Extra time ...

[Ommadawn]

It looks like Skidmore just prevailed in 2OT on an Okoye goal.  What's with the 15' first OT period?
