2015 D3 Season: NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

[Saint of Old]

Time for the talking to stop and the playing to begin (for the players).

For us have beens, lets blab away, we earned it!!!

Too nervous to speak on my Brothers in Red, but I'm looking fwd to see Stevens/Williams/Oneonta/RPI/Rochester and Wheaton all competing to climb the mountain this year.

I clicked on the Montclair St game and walked into a Hilbert vs Medaille tilt lol. Medaille leading 1-0 in 56th minute.

I know...I think it would be great if we announced who scored the 1st goal of the 2015 season. Kind of like when Eric Wynalda scored the first goal in MLS in 1995

[Flying Weasel]

That's wild.  According to MatchTracker, Montclair State scored with 1 sec. left on the clock to win 1-0.  Kyle Goodwin sent a free kick through the wall and into the lower left corner.

I knew I couldn't count on Oswego's video feed to work.

Grove City 4
Allegheny 0

Might Grove City be emerging as a threat to Thomas More in the PAC?

I think they already were.  Austin Juniet for Thomas More gets a brace and is strong candidate for some All-American teams.

Kenyon up 3-0 at half at Waynesburg.  Bench already emptied.  Amolo doesn't start and scores in first 3 minutes on field.  Freshmen playing a lot.

Babson opens up with 3-0 LOSS to ECSU.

Wartburg draws with Macalester 3-3.

Haverford sneaks past Scranton 2-1.

Must be bad weather in OH and PA.  Denison vs JCU postponed.  OWU delayed.  Seems like Kenyon At Waynesburg must be in delay as well.

Edit:  Kenyon did get the game in.  Ended 3-0.  Shots 29-1.

Muggy - but an otherwise glorious day here in Ohio. A Denison student, missing since the weekend, was found dead yesterday. Game postponed.  There was a minute of silence at the Otterbein-Oberlin game.

I was wondering how Thomas More would respond with the loss of all those seniors and a new HC.  That Zaragoza kid for Wittenberg - got to see him in HS as a junior - is very strong, cocky. Bagged two goals for Wittenberg.  But a 4-3 score line really surprised me!

Great day for top 4 Centennial Conference teams against good opponents.

Haverford 2 vs Scranton 1--- Watched a little of the game and thought Haverford controlled the game.

F&M 2 vs LVC 0--- Looks like F&M will be extremely strong again.

Muhlenberg 2 vs Centenary 0--- stingy defense again for the Muhls

Dickinson 2 vs Catholic 0--- off to another good start.  Saw some of this game and Dickinson looked strong in attack.

These four teams seem to be the ones challenging for top 4 spots in the CC.

Looking forward to seeing my Vikings of North Park play this evening.  They should be pretty strong, but will be inexperienced in the GK position.  It appears their all-conference (I think and too lazy to look) GK is not on the roster for his senior season.

Too lazy to look, but not lazy enough to post. Classic.

I decided to add the all-conference tidbit mid-post, but point taken.  Last year's GK for NPU was 2nd team all conference.

Some notables in the sunyac:

Geneseo upsets UR 1-0
Cortland come back from 2-0 at half to win 6-2
Buff state beats Alfred state 2-0
Brockport beats fisher 3-0
Plattsburgh survives Clarkson 2-1 in OT
St Lawrence handles Osewgo 3-0
and Oneonta beats Morrisville 2-0

Thanks for the good info Domino, especially regarding Denison situation.  Will be counting on you this year for some good on-site reporting in the Great Lakes region!  And, yeah, even though looked like the Thomas More win may have been more comfortable than the score suggests, I haven't really considered how many seniors they lost.  We'll get a good read on Thomas More when they play at OWU on 9/20.
