F+M seem very legit.
Strong in attack with a couple individual players on both wings.

Geneva does have a dangerous striker as well who almost scored so anything cam happen.
Really good soccer game and great stream/commentary.

PaulNewman

One of the commentators, Jared Bomba, had a very good career at F&M and was a senior just last year or the year before. Very interesting that F&M has a coach from Messiah (as does Geneva) and the F&M broadcast seems very closely modeled after the excellent Messiah productions.

PaulNewman

Interesting that in the current D3 poll the top vote getters since day 1 consistently and by large margin has run in this order Middlebury, Loras and Oberlin.

Great first half in Lancaster.  W&L scored early, but SLU has dominated possession and equalized near the end of the half.

Wisco21

Damn, this F&M stream and commentary is QUALITY. Forget Lalas and Twellman, sign these two up.

What happened to F&M's stream?  After the first OT it just died.

Never mind, I got it back.

SLU's continues to struggle with PKs. Can't remember the last shootout they won.  They're a crapshoot, but Smith was absolutely awful in that shootout.  Lucky to have made the tournament, but man those were some bad attempts.  I used to play GK so I suppose I'm a bit biased about that.  Either way always a brutal method to go out.   Congrats to W&L on weathering the storm, should be a great game tomorrow.

I missed the SLU v W&L game but it does seem that SLU is snake bitten in PK's the last 10 years in the NCAA's...Former MIT coach Mike Singleton doing a fin job at W&L and I believe MIT's 2015 Sweet 16 run was his doing for the most part because they were most if not all his players.

Burch and Bowman do not get along at all. No real reason, just deep discord. Both are fiery and passionate.

Mr.Right

St.Joes(ME) and Babson a pretty even game so far...

Surprised that St.John Fischer is holding Oneonta St 0-0 almost to Halftime.

Haverford easily handling Merchant Marine 2-0 almost Halftime.

Mr.Right

Oneonta absolutely dominating St.John Fischer in what looks to be a half field scrimmage but they cannot finish YET. I expect them to get a goal or 2 to put them away but as predicted with all the parity in 2016 and with many teams having issues scoring it is no surprise we may well see teams getting upset in the 1st / 2nd Round as lesser teams try to get games into PK's and take their chances there.

Mr.Right

St.John Fischer is hanging on and whacking everything insight..Quite ugly to watch but I have never seen an Oneonta side give the ball away like they have in this game. They are stringing 4 to 5 passes together and then in the Final 3rd they are giving the ball away. They look dangerous and "should" score but their defense does look a bit shaky and this young Oneonta side is very beatable this year IMO. Maybe UR has a good chance in this pod as Oneonta can be beaten

Mr.Right

Babson at St.Joes(ME) heading to OT as this game has PK's written all over it. Babson has looked unimpressive at best.

Oneonta finally gets a goal on a nice goal from #9 who took it off his chest and one timed a left footed rip into the corner of the goal. 1-0 Oneonta about 10 minutes left.

Mr.Right

As Mr.Right predicted Babson is eliminated by St.Joseph's(ME) in PK's...The difference in the game was St.Joe's 6'7 GK which helped all game and especially in Pk's...Babson again proves they were overrated and over ranked in New England.
