UAA 2017

[Mr.Right]

Brandeis looks to be in a 4-2-3-1 with Flahive up top...Where has the back DePietto been? I have not seen him in the starting lineup

[Mr.Right]

Emory looks to be dangerous on the counter with #10 Khattab,#2 Meyer and #31 McCartny. Brandeis again zoning on defensive corners with everyone in the box and picking up a man or 2 in man to man..

[Mr.Right]

0-0 about 20 minutes in. Brandeis controlling possession until the final 3rd where Flahive is going to have problems all day against 2 CB's holding the ball up. Personally, I liked when they used to play in the 4-3-3.

[Mr.Right]

Again because Brandeis attacks with numbers, Emory has had some good looking counters but have not been able to convert. I really like Emory's #10 Khattab and #2 Meyer as they are legit players with skill.

[Mr.Right]

0-0 at the Half between Emory v Brandeis..Very good game. Both teams are NCAA teams and have weapons. Neither team has a ton of depth as when Margolis went to his bench the play dropped off significantly when Brandeis was attacking. Brandeis dominated the first 20 minutes but Emory grew into the game well and while dangerous on the counter all Half they were controlling possession better the last 10 minutes. I do not expect any changes at Halftime but I do believe we will see a goal or 2. Emory is 6-0-0 at Home and 3-0-0 in the conference so I think Brandeis needs this Win more but obviously both teams could use a win v a ranked opponent

[Mr.Right]

Emory has come out blazing to start the 2nd Half. #Ferguson rips a 35 yard Free Kick that was heading into the goal but a fantastic save by Brandeis' Woodhouse. On the following corner Emory got to a loose ball that was not cleared by Brandeis and Woodhouse with another save. Emory on the next corner gets a fantastic header that Woodhouse made another brilliant save on. 3 dangerous chances by Emory to start the 2nd Half but woodhouse comes up BIG as he snuffed them all out.

[Mr.Right]

Emory all over Brandeis now. They are attacking wave after wave and Brandeis and especially Woodhouse are holding strong. Emory scored off a set piece but the player was a step offside...Still 0-0 with about 25 minutes left

[Mr.Right]

Brandeis at Emory heading to OT stuck at 0-0. Emory came out of Halftime blitzing Brandeis but they have crashed a bit in the last 20 minutes as Brandeis has started to re-settle back into the game. Emory probably deserves to win this game but Woodhouse has stood on his head to keep the game level. Brandeis with one significant look with a minute left in regulation but Flahive did not shoot and passed to his teammate on the 6 and he fluffed it a bit as Emory GK was out of his net.  Let's see what OT brings but Brandeis might try to play a little conservative as a draw will help their Pool C chances but a loss would take them to 9-4-0 (2-2-0) and squarely on the bubble.

[Mr.Right]

Not sure who just took a 30 yard rocket for Brandeis..Maybe Ocel? but it was a screamer that beat Emory GK but hit the post...Fantastic strike...Still 0-0 in the 102nd minute

[Mr.Right]

Emory's #6 Ferguson gets his own bullet from 35 yards out that just skims wide..Ferguson strikes the ball VERY well...He has power and more importantly accuracy. A ton of guys at this level(too many IMO) have no accuracy when ripping shots as half of them go sky high

[blooter442]

Brandeis steals it 1-0, 2:26 left in 2OT. A bit of a scrappy play that Flahive finished off.

Mr.Right, it was Lynch, according to the live stats. This is a huge road win for the Judges, especially after losing Friday, and considering they were on the ropes much of the game against a very good Emory side.

[Ommadawn]

Chicago and Case scoreless with 25' to play.

[Mr.Right]

WOW...1-0 Brandeis wins it in the 107th minute..That is a heart breaker for Emory as a fair result would have been a draw but what a finish...Brandeis got a throw deep into Emory's end and Ocel had been throwing bombs into the box all day but he decided to throw short to #5 Hennessey and with no one from Emory marking him he gets great service into the box and Flahive with an excellent header past Emory GK. What a goal...Emory got caught sleeping(Again loss of concentration for a split second) and Flahive went totally unmarked on his run and got his head to it....1-0 Brandeis Final and Brandeis at 10-3-0 get the BIG win they needed against a regionally ranked team. That flight home will feel a ton better now.

Chicago and Case scoreless with 25' to play.

[Mr.Right]

Man of the Match IMO----Woodhouse...I know Flahive got the winner but Woodhouse kept them in the game early in the 2nd Half with some fantastic saves.
