Hopkins Walk-On

2-0 Hopkins wins. Hopkins defense played well, especially inside the box.

Consider me unimpressed with W&L.

You can never overrate a coaching change, regardless of the talent on the roster.

It's going to be a bit uphill for the Generals, but don't forget they started 0-1-2 last season as well and, frankly, I was even unimpressed with them late in the season. The talent is there, might just need some time to gel as a team and a staff. Or maybe it was coaching magic.

Absolutely, they also lost 4-0 to Messiah two years ago and ended up doing well.

IMO W&L had a good 1st half but could not capitalize. With or without a coaching change, it may take awhile to figure things out. From what I can tell, W&L fought till the end. Luckily, they get to turn the proverbial page with Sewanee on Sunday.

Not saying we have to give W&L a break, but they also have not had any grad students or super seniors like JHU and other teams they will play this year.

Watching first half of Mike Singleton's Goucher v. McDaniel. May be one of the few games to be broadcasted free this season as it is at McDaniel.  You all should check it out if you want to see what a beautiful amazing green flat field looks like.

Goucher is weathering the storm so far, but only because their keeper has been playing like crazy. Of course, once I type that McDaniel scores 1-0.  Either way the Goucher keeper has been involved in everything and only 1-0 against a team that has been really good over the years. I don't think Goucher has had a shot yet.

McDaniel's new coach is Michael Scott, yup

Does any Messiah fan want to rent my flosports log in for tonight?  ;D

There it is, proof the FloSports model works haha.

Hopefully Scranton can keep it within 3 goals and the Camera operator doesn't fall asleep.

Not disagreeing.  Think they have plenty of time.  But this looked different to me compared to last year.

I don't know. We were pretty down on W&L even fairly late last season. I don't think it can be any different at this point. Hopkins was projected to win the Centennial. That's a good team from a good league. W&L wasn't even picked to win the ODAC this year. So it is a bit different.

That being said, I'm happy to be headed to Sewanee and then Covenant next week to see the Generals play.

Joy and fun on film with respect to D3 soccer.  Kid who filmed/edited this has been doing this for F&M for 3 years or so. Worth the few seconds. Check out his Instagram page for other reels like this.
