In bold are the games I feel are the must watch games of the weekend. As for the Mid-Atlantic region, huge games in the Centennial with JHU vs Getty and F&M vs Fords. Drew vs Etown is a big clash as well and Lyco on the road in non-conference action vs Case Western won't be an easy task.

#3/#4 ranked Lycoming down 1-0 at half at Case Western Reserve.  Possession has got to be 75% - 25% is favor of CWR.  Lycoming is about as straight an up and down team as I have seen in quite some time.

Lycoming absolutely lays an egg at unranked Case Western Reserve with a a 1-0 loss.

W&L takes down undefeated (though mostly untried) Randolph-Macon 3-2 at Macon. Just caught the last 10-12 minutes and even though all 5 goals came in the second half I didn't see any of them! Macon looked game though pretty direct. That could have just been chasing the last goal. I think they will do well in the ODAC though again W&L gave up an own goal. Second time this season.

W&L goes to Lynchburg Wednesday. That should be a pretty important game for ODAC tournament seedings.

Amherst also ties Williams. that type of schedule they play makes room for little error and this is two blemishes in a row. and they have Newark in a week

Amherst should get healthy against Pine Manor, although facing Tufts at home the day before hosting Newark could present a challenge.

Lycoming had a red card 20 minutes into that game which probably skewed the possesion stats.  Lycoming are definitely more of a direct sort of team but that red has to be taken into account

Their coach received the red.

Not sure what game you were watching. I would say Case had the better of play for the first 15 minutes and then got the goal they deserved. Once that happened it seemed that Lycoming decided not to sit in and they had the better of play for the remainder of the game. Case may have had 2 or 3 decent chances the rest of the game after scoring compared to Lycoming having chance after chance. I would not consider this laying an egg by any means. Case is in a strong conference, was at home, and motivated for a big win. Overall from watching most of this game (switching back and forth to others yesterday online) I thought Lycoming was clearly the dominant team and got unlucky to not find the back of the net. Case is a solid team and did well defensively to hold on for the win. Great win for Case and a tough loss for Lycoming. But laying an egg and stating that they had 25% possession is just flat out false.

Laying an egg? I wouldn't go that far. Stats favored Lycoming throughout and from MAF post seems like they were the better team and were unfortunate not to come away with a result. Keep in mind that Case Western is no pushover. They will have an opportunity to compete this year in the UAA and although I don't see them winning it, I would not be surprised if they finish top 3 in that conference.

What was the red card for? The box score shows a yellow and then a red at the same time Case Western scored. I would assume it had something to do with the goal?

I thought laid an egg refers to scoring no goals. A "0" is an egg.

If that is what is meant by this then yes they 100% laid an egg!  I can't speak for Shooter but I took this as hinting that they played poorly or got completely outplayed, both of which did not happen. Case dug deep and gutted out a solid win and they should receive praise for that. It may have saved the season for them. Still big games remaining in conference play.
