Salisbury probably deserved at least a tie vs. Bridgewater today, but BC was scrappy and found the net on a shot off a defender. That's the game. At this point -- judging by today's play -- the Gulls have some work to do. They miss the speed they had with Benjamin Aryeetey on the flanks and aren't as solid (yet) or as physical across the back. Runikera will do a nice job in the middle and can be both a distributor and a tough defensive presence.

One thing you have to admire about De Bartolo is his commitment to his four-year players and making transfers earn their minutes. Doling out those minutes on his traditionally deep squad gets a bit tougher if juco Leslie Umunna can build on some of the spark he showed ... and be fit enough for more time. Big, strong, fast kid. A handful to handle for any back line.

Some frustrated U-9 coach from Bridgewater in the stands kept yelling for their boys to "pressure the keeper." Kind of silly when Salisbury had a poised senior like Staedli in there.

Will be interesting to see how voters place Rutgers-Newark, Camden, and Rowan...
Newark beats ranked TCNJ, Rowan with win at Messiah, but bad loss at SLU. Camden with win over regionally ranked Cabrini and road win over WPU with seemingly no reward for drawing vs 1 in region, CNU.

NJAC most likely a two bid league with slight chance of a third...

Looks to be one of the tighter races in a while.

Watched Greensboro @ CNU and CNU was fortunate to win in double OT. The game winner was a beautiful strike but they have some lapses on defense that can be exploited.

York's decline from greatness. Probably the best team to have never won a championship, IMO....

2005: 18-2-3 (55GF / 19 GA): Losses- Messiah 1-2, Salisbury 0-1 in the same week. Draws- @ Stevenson, Arcadia, NJCU (NCAA tourney)
2006: 20-0-3 (60GF / 10 GA): Draws- @ Messiah 1-1, @ Gettysburg 0-0, Wheaton (IL) 0-0 (NCAA tourney).
2007: 21-3-1 (83GF / 19 GA): Losses- Salisbury 0-1, @ Salisbury 0-2, Middlebury 0-2 (NCAA Tourney). Draws @ Amherst 0-0 (NCAA Tourney) Beat Messiah 2-1
2008: 18-0-2 (59GF / 3 GA): Draws- Wesley 0-0, JHU 0-0 (NCAA Tourney). Won at Messiah 2-1.
2009: 17-1-5 (59GF / 12 GA): Losses- CNU 0-1. Draws - @ Medialle 1-1, Salisbury 2-2, @ Mary Washington 0-0, @ JHU 0-0, Williams 1-1 (NCAA Tourney).

Home Record: 56-4-5 (L: Messiah, Salisbury 2x, CNU)
Away/Neutral: 38-2-9 (L: Salisbury, Middlebury)

I was at York v Williams in 2009. Great game and York was unlucky not to advance. They were 1 PK away from doing so but the kid hit it high and the rest is history. That was a very skilled team that year and especially their CM was an impressive player as he was extremely technical

Mid-Atlantic Fan · September 24, 2015, 01:32:56 PM

Was that the team with John Ports? Think they ended up losing in the Elite 8 that year. Greatest team to not win a championship is pretty accurate IMO.

With 6 NJAC teams in the rankings for week 2, Kean could unseat TCNJ in the next Poll with a win. There will be plenty of movement with the games on the card for the weekend. Stockton at MSU is a huge matchup with NCAA regional implications. Rowan gets Rutgers-Newark at home for an important stronghold in conference standings as YOU MUST not give points away at home. We also will find out if the cupcakes have prepared Kean for a semi battle tested TCNJ.

Mr.Right · September 24, 2015, 02:49:32 PM

The NJAC could possibly get 4 teams into the NCAA's as long as those top 4 beat who they are supposed to beat and just kind of beat each other or draw. Without having seen these teams and with spotty live streaming I will guess MSU,RUC,Rowan and TCNJ. Kean's schedule is horrific and looks to have an over inflated record. I will guess Stockton falls short and TCNJ and Rowan are on the bubble.
