Did anyone else hear that? Apparently the JCU SID told the announcers that they are hosting the VBall national championships coming up, but opted out of bidding for hosting soccer.

Nice idea by Stark going outside of the boot, but too far in the end. A promising counter goes begging.

Man it is fun to watch Calvin attack...they have great speed and a number of dynamic runners.

Agreed..

[blooter442]

Calvin CB and GK caught in a miscommunication, TMC attacker steals the ball away but it goes out for a goal kick. Calvin has been extremely dynamic up top but that was worrisome.

[blooter442]

TMC is in on goal but van Ryn makes a great save. There are more goals in this one!

[Mr.Right]

Gotta finish that

[Mr.Right]

See how fast Calvin goes once they get the ball...plays right to feet than boom they are off..That is how you beat Tufts....You are correct that Calvin's off ball running is as impressive as I have seen all year

Exactly, like you said you really have to get at them before they get "set"...I would be curious to know the % of goals Calvin scores on the counter. Even in the few times I've seen them, they are the best counter attacking team in D3 for my money.

Calvin has probably edged it but TMC has had its own chances. They are certainly still in this game.

Now these announcers will not stop talking....

At least there's no bird call!

Agreed...Calvin does look somewhat susceptible of giving up a goal if TMC plays it right BUT they cannot give up another one to Calvin

[PaulNewman]

Assuming a Calvin win, JCU will have more offensive firepower and creativity than any team they've seen this year.  We'll see if that matters.

[Mr.Right]

Complete lack of focus by TMC defensively...Calvin kid with a header with 3 defenders around him ball watching

Fire up the bus to Crestview Hills, KY.
