Mr.Rights Thoughts

There's apparently some bad blood from the last time between Masur and Rutgers as he was the lead but he wasn't moving quickly enough so they pulled the offer and hired Donigan instead. At least that's what I've been told, but I'm not at all close to that situation and couldn't care less. I do have a close friend wired into the NY/NJ soccer scene.

Interestingly, he tells me Colby has recruited an academy player From NJ.

Reasso won at Rutgers in the late 80's and early 90's. He rode that out until 2009 and at the end was in dire straits. Masur won it all in 1995 and plays on a rooftop in Queens which used to be a great home field advantage. The reality now is neither program can compete with their competition for the best players because of facilities

After watching both games yesterday I am having trouble predicting this final. Wheaton's attacking players will cause Tufts defense havoc all day. Tufts wingbacks are where you need to attack. You need to beat them 1v1 and draw one of their CB over and play some nice thru balls on the pitch having guys running on to them and finishing. On the flip side, Wheaton's keeper looks suspect at best and Tufts needs to shoot as much as they can and follow their shots for rebounds. My prediction is a ref decides this game with a horrible call or non call. This game has OT written all over it

Wheaton doing a nice job defending Kayne. Santos is off abit so far and Connor Brown looks dangerous on the right flank.

1-0 Tufts. Horrible GK mistake. I knew that GK might hurt them. I am shocked how they have gotten this far with that GK

[Mr.Right]

What we talked about in the beginning of the year on the Nescac thread was Williams and Amherst. We had Conn as an upstart and Tufts with some of the best talent but in the 4 years these seniors have been together the results should have been better. They cam back to school very fit and had so much hunger the whole year. In the middle of October they had a 2 GA in 8 Nescac games which is beyond incredible. They are now a half away from letting 1 GA in 6 NCAA games, ALL on the road. They won their first regular season Nescac title and why not their first NCAA title.

Tufts started bunkering in to early and now are fighting their confidence. The good news is hey can score against this team again

[St. Larry]

Wheaton with a lot of kick and run - ugly soccer. First goal was very soft, that ball didn't look playable. Should be an interesting last 15

[Mr.Right]

Well I have to admit when Wheaton starting breaking Tufts down better was thru the air and getting to 2nd balls

[Mr.Right]

These Wheaton kids going down like flies. They are looking quite "soft". Tufts used to this every week in Nescac

[KnightFalcon]

That's uncalled for

[KnightFalcon]

did you just give me a -karma for that?

[Mr.Right]
