2015 NCAA TOURNAMENT THREAD

[lastguyoffthebench]

All brackets are alive with the weighted, even system.   If Kenyon beats SLU in the final, you'll win...


Here's to hoping Rutgers-Camden beats Oneonta St....   Haverford, SLU, Rutgers-Camden, Bowdoin most likely at Haverford (small chance it would be at SLU, but with Haverford bye I'd think they would host all the way through).

Last time Camden played a NESCAC school it was Wesleyan in 2011...

OWU already up on Calvin, 10 min in...

[lastguyoffthebench]

Almost 2-0 with a rip of the bar from 25 out for OWU...

[lastguyoffthebench]

OWU pressing here and could easily be 3-0...  Gut check for Calvin.

Looks like Martin has finally found his line-up.  The CB who is back from red card suspension isn't even on the field.  Baum is killing Calvin.  We'll see what Calvin is made of.  Probably first time behind all season.  Calvin plays some nice soccer but right now OWU looks like they have 13 men on the field.

Thomas scores a goal against the run of play and leads Brandeis 1-0 about 15 min in. They are sitting very compact but the kid Clemons received a beautifully placed ball and finished nicely.

My bracket has disintegrated.  Whitworth loses in OT on an own goal.

That was rough.
But they were lucky to get to OT as Redlands missed two one-on-ones with the GK.

[Jump4Joy]

Yeah. Judges passing around well but not once they are in and around the box.

[PaulNewman]

Calvin has pretty good team speed but at least so far just not physical enough for OWU....losing a lot of 50/50s.

And F&M breaks through.

Babson down 2.

[Mr.Right]

Brandeis absolutely dominating play. 1-1. This game could get ugly fast as that goal by Thomas really woke Brandeis up

[Jump4Joy]

Interesting that the Brandeis goal comes from a long ball served into the box instead of from the short game they seem to prefer.
You get the sense that the gate might have just opened.

[lastguyoffthebench]

Calvin registers their first shot 30 min in to the game off a weak header from a corner...

[wingtips2]

Calvin has settled down and is fully in charge now.

[PaulNewman]

Calvin has settled down and is fully in charge now.

Fully in charge?  Sarcasm?  That little left back (usually right back) for OWU is eating up one of Calvin's stars on the flank.  All his bio said last year is that he "lettered" in high school soccer.  Calvin has settled down but they play so open they are very vulnerable to OWU hitting them again.

[NEsoccerfan]

Thomas with an ugly red card from their goal scorer Willie Clemons (kicking a player after the play). Game is starting to get scrappy and Brandeis appears to be dominating (despite the score).
