Well they were.  Of course I posted and now 2-1.

[Mr.Right]

Good game...Kenyon gets back into it with a nice strike just outside the box by #8 off a defensive giveaway that I saw a ton in the JCU game I watched earlier this year...

[PaulNewman]

Kenyon had shout for a PK to go up 3-0 and now 2-1 Kenyon.

[Mr.Right]

Oh crap so the Home team is not in white? ...Well then reverse everything I said..Kenyon came out pumped up..LOL...The 1st strike was insane by #9 for whatever team he plays for

[Mr.Right]

Very wide open game..Fun to watch..Tons of drama and emotion..You can tell a rivalry game

[Mr.Right]

Does OWU have injuries? This OWU side seems to be lacking a bit in the talent they usually have. they also look to be lacking some fight. They are having a tough time creating dangerous scoring chances. Kenyon seems to be in control with about 25 minutes left and you would never know this was a one goal game

[Mr.Right]

3-1 Kenyon on a fantastic header..Kid has some ups...defending was poor..Really disappointed in this OWU side tonight...If they do not have the talent at least match Kenyon's workrate and intensity. I do not see any fight as its like all 11 OWU players are playing with their heads down. I will say Kenyon's workrate is very impressive..

JCU was up 1-0 on Otterbein, Bein got a red. Jesse Marinaro, JCU's best player goes down with an injury and Bein ties it 1-1. 73rd minute right now.

[Mr.Right]

If you watch the replay the kenyon goalscorer makes a very cagey run to the middle of the box and the OWU defender totally loses him.

Seems like a more intense game..Will tune in..

[Mr.Right]

JCU at Otterbein heading to OT 1-1...

[bestfancle]

Slight homer in me, but it really sucks to see JCU lose like that. Red for Otterbein doesn't do it justice, taking out the best player on the team for an extended period of time. Just a dirty play.

Lombardo's red for jcu later in the game will really hurt them. That's his 2nd red on the year so I think he misses more than just one game.

JCU should still be a lock, but they can't afford one more loss in conference outside of the confrence final.

[PaulNewman]

I am often harsh on my Lords but Kenyon put in a splendid performance tonight.  This one won't be as remembered as perhaps some others in the past few years but this was a huge, signature win for Coach Brown.  4 wins in a row now versus OWU and I'd guess that hasn't been done by any team over the past 35 years, ever.  You could tell Brown and Coach Moore were fired up.  Still wish they generated more clean chances with all of that effort.  That said, the effort and work rate were outstanding.  Reminded me of when Kenyon demolished Trinity (TX) in the Sweet 16 last year 4-0 and perhaps used up a little too much energy before going toe to toe with Tufts for 109 minutes the next day.  This version is not as good as last year's, but at least tonight their effort and heart cannot be faulted.  Congrats to Coach Brown and his squad.

P.S.  I also was happy to see that Kenyon had zero celebration or histrionics after the game.

Yea that was wild...You have to admit that was a HUGE win for Otterbein...I mean I do not remember hearing about Otterbein since they made a surprise appearance up at SLU in the 2002 Final 4.

Messiah plays OWU only rarely, but they are 3-0 all time vs the Bishops.
