2014 D3 Season: National Perspective

[Ryan Harmanis]

Gotcha. Since you're there - any idea what just happened with the OWU player who's down?

[KnightFalcon]

Looked he took a kick in the shin or ankle ... Walked off gingerly but should be back

[KnightFalcon]

OWU playing much better and with more energy - feels like a goal is coming for them

GAC with the 1-0 win over Dominican. Big match against the DuHawks tomorrow. Thanks for the tickets kickin!

Watched the end of the GAC-Dominican game as I watch Wheaton-UWW. GAC looked like the better side from the limited minutes I saw. Decent goal from the Gusties to take the win. It looks like they should give the Duhawks some fits tomorrow!

Wheaton up 1-0 at half off a corner. Free header from Stephen Golz at the six yard box as it looked like a Warhawk defender lost their mark. But it's been a very even game judging by the video. Should be a very interesting second half.

OWU-Calvin looks pretty even so far aside from the penalty. OWU with more shots, but Calvin is isolating OWU's young outside backs and taking a little advantage of them - including on the PK. Ref is calling the game a little tight, as it doesn't seem overly physical but he's already called 16 fouls.

GAC should feel lucky to win. They ran in circles for the first 20 minutes and were lucky not to concede. They then went to lower pressure which neutralized Dominican's superior skill. Dominican ran out of ideas and started lumping the ball in the middle before half. I'm not sure why they didn't sort that out in the locker room but the came out in the second half with few new ideas. They pressured but were caught on a counter with a nicely timed header. This was the most entertaining game so far.

[KnightFalcon]

That was a sure goal for OWU that the defender saved

[Sirius90]

F&M ahead but Looking just average.

[KnightFalcon]

Can't say I agree with that PK call for OWU but 1-1 is probably a fair score regardless

[casualfan]

Wheaton takes over in the 2nd half to ride to a 3-0 win. A goal 90 seconds into the second half took the wind out of UWW's sails and it was all Wheaton from then on. Congrats to the Warhawks on a great year and getting back into the NCAA's after a brief hiatus.

Wheaton looks to have the tools to go very far. If they can put it together for 90 minutes, they should be close to Messiah's level.

[Ryan Harmanis]

Couldn't tell from the feed but looked about the same as the first PK, so looked soft on video.

OWU really controlled the second half, and especially the last 25 minutes. Doesn't necessarily mean anything going into OT but they have momentum.

Just watched a fantastic game. Thomas More played harder than any team I've seen this year. 
Played their butts off for 105 minutes. Outshot a technically superior North Park 29 to 10.  #6 for Thomas More is a great player who just played his heart out.  Incredible team spirit and some VERY lively fans.  North Park took some time to get into the match but they also played very hard.  They had several very talented players.

I left at half of the Thomas More game. In the center stands, where I watched the game, there were TWO North Park fans. More has a ton of kids from Cincy and Northern KY - at times I thought I was at a HS game, especially when compared to the fans of previous Kenyon-Berg game. One More fan had to asked to stop tugging on the fence (he was wearing shorts and looked as if he should have been at a pointy ball game). Be enthusiastic - but this isn't redneck pointy ball folks.

More just got to every ball quicker and was able to push NP players off the ball with little effort. Either way, the winner of the second game will be the lambs headed to the slaughter. Kenyon pulled all their key starters 5 min into the second half and should have minimal trouble moving on. 2-0 min tomorrow for Kenyon.

Wow Calvin misses 2 absolutely golden chances in first OT

[KnightFalcon]

...and that was their third they missed by hitting crossbar AGAIN
