All NESCAC

Final thought on this as my guess with 4 to 5 brand new coaches and 2 without any Nescac experience, I believe their Nescac rulebooks are collecting dust on the floor in their office somewhere. Your team is allowed to get together and practice and scrimmage informally or attend 5v5 or indoor tournaments or whatever. No coaches allowed at any of these events obviously but YOU CANNOT have a Nescac side scrimmage another Nescac side in the spring with or without coaches.

Looks like we now have "Scrimmagegate" in the NESCAC....maybe we can get another Wells Investigative Report as certain NESCAC teams have every year scrimmaged each other informally in the Spring....no big deal one way or the other as no coaches and no refs involved even if "technically" forbidden.

It is unbelievable that the NESCAC powers would be so pedagogically backward as to forbid their students from self-organizing participation in their own recreation.

Anyone have good spring games to report on? I wonder if Messiah is playing Bucknell again? I know it's just spring and for D1 teams it's a much different season than for D3's (with spring seasons) but last year Messiah beat Bucknell I think 3-0. Bucknell made the D1 NCAA Tournament this past year.

Messiah Men's Soccer Spring Contests:
Saturday, April 11th Intrasquad Scrimmage (5pm at Messiah)
Saturday, April 18th vs Alumni (5:30pm at Messiah)
Friday, April 24th vs Johns Hopkins University (7pm at JHU)

This story makes me proud of D3 soccer.  Kudos to F&M soccer.

Team Impact is a tremendous program that can make a difference for kids with life-changing or life-threatening illnesses.  I have only been involved with one of these children on the extreme periphery, but I have personally witnessed the positive impact the program has had on the child (and his family!), as well as on the team and players involved.

The good news is that there are at least 15 other D3 men's soccer programs participating.  They include (in the order they appear on the goteamimpact.org website):

Carnegie Mellon, Lynchburg, Babson, Fitchburg State, Lesley, Wesleyan, Eastern Connecticut State, New England College, Middlebury, Tufts, MIT, Mass Maritime, Coast Guard, Rowan and Williams.

I first became aware of the program earlier this year when the Messiah men's baseball team did the same thing with the press conference and all.  There is participation from all different sports teams across the three NCAA divisions, JUCOs, and probably NAIA as well.

Two senior soccer players from Messiah turn pro...

The team Brian Ramirez is playing with in Sweden, IFK Stockaryd, is in the fourth division level.  He scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win in his debut and followed that up in the next game with a pair of assists on the first two goals of a 4-0 win.  I think they were tournament games of some sort, not league games.  The team's facebook page refers to him by his first name only: Brian.
