2014 D3 Season: National Perspective

[Jump4Joy]

More importantly: tufts up 1-0 in first minute!?

[KnightFalcon]

The field here at muhlenburg is atrocious ...cow pasture is being kind

[KnightFalcon]

Tufts keeping 10 behind the ball at all times now ... Going to be an ugly game until messiah ties it up

[TheSoccerGod10]

Yeah the field looks nasty. Tufts doing everything a team needs to do in order to beat a Messiah team. They are well organized, physical, now after that goal confident, and most importantly they are playing without fear. Messiah is in for a dogfight the rest of the way. Should be interesting to watch.

[KnightFalcon]

Messiah REALLY needs to put some shots on goal

[Mr.Right]

Tufts giving us Nescac fans something to cheer about so far. They will get worn down if they continue to play like this as they were chasing for 45 minutes

[KnightFalcon]

Yes but they look very organized and inspired ... I think adrenaline alone will carry them. Messiah needs to score in first ten minutes.

[Mr.Right]

Nescac teams are usually organized...Watching the Brandeis Oneonta game and so far in 2nf half Brandeis has hit the post and is all over Oneonta. I wonder how Oneonta scored. As I type they scored again. Must be over 1500 people at this game. 2-0 Oneonta

I wonder how Oneonta scored. As I type they scored again.

First goal was a bad goal. Attacker came down the left and put it through the 'keeper's legs from close. Second was a wide-open feed a minute after J. Ocel hit the post. Oneonta deservedly in front.

Tufts is such an enigma. They had a few sub-par results, capped by the home loss to Conn., but are still leading Messiah. I'm no Tufts supporter but what a result this would be for them if they can hold on.

[blooter442]

That said, I wouldn't mind seeing them hold on for the W. Would blow the tournament wide open.

[TheSoccerGod10]

Tufts could easily be up 3-0 right now. Counter is wide open and West has made some key saves. Messiah is getting out shot and has less set pieces. Not a winning formula. 25 to go.

[KnightFalcon]

Messiah just went to the extra attacker up top -12 to go

[TheSoccerGod10]

Longest 10 minutes of Tufts lives coming up

[dontshootthegoose]

down goes Messiah

[Falconer]

Congratulations to Tufts for a huge win.

The feed was terrible; I saw only final 15 minutes. It wouldn't load until then.
