Watching WAC F&M game.  The F&M left back is impressive and uses his center mids very well.

Oh and good to see Pinto back in the cage for WAC.

That's why you just don't ever sleep on the Dips.

Yeah, F&M pretty much outplayed them all game. Koa looked his usual dangerousness especially with his goal. Would have been incredibly frustrating to have tied. F&M would have been 8-1-8. Nice looking, but ... As someone said, F&M ain't no Williams (sometimes people they are like Amherst) hahaha.

The last four years WC has definitely out played F&M in the
past going 3-1 over the past 3 years. Beat F&M twice in 2021.

They just keep churning. Almost felt sorry for the WC player who fouled which lead to the free kick. I believe F&M team might be the tallest team in the Cent Conf. Great for intermural basketball in the winter.

Definitely great to see Pinto back. Horwitz was back but only a role player really. Got to be tough on both after having amazing seasons last year.

Horwitz was back but only a role player really.

I wouldn't call 72 minutes a role player.

Yup, compared to what he did last year and even 2021. He may obviously do more. Great kid and talented when 100%. However 72 min is his high mark this season. Has played 9 of the 17 games. Since Sept. 21st he has one assist, no goals and 3 shots on goal. He is not 100%. Tough for a striker, especially since he did so well in 2023. If he was well, maybe a few the ties would be wins.

Good catch. Probably their best season ever.  Won't be competing at school with the women's vball team though. They are just amazing year after year.

Let's see how they do in conference playoffs. I don't believe they are better than Catholic or Lycoming. They have played a light non-conference schedule but have certainly taken care of business in the Landmark. Their best results have been ties with York, Lycoming, and Catholic. No signature wins that jump out.

[Hopkins92]

I was mostly joking, as I had a post in some thread (I thought it was this one) remarking on my surprise to see Juniata at the top of the Landmark.

The gist of my post was "huh, this is probably one of their best seasons ever" and went back to 2017 and they've basically only cracked .500 once or twice in that timeframe.

[SierraFD3soccer]

Always fun rooting for Widners of the world.

[SierraFD3soccer]

McDaniel played their last game. Very sad. Sorry for the keeper. Rough.

Dickinson with 22 min left (sprinklers popped up at 9), is beating Washington College 5-0.  Yup. Scoreless 1st half, Dickinson then scores 3 boomers in about 2 min. Crazy!! F&M may have lucked as to semis. Much different team from Saturday

[NEPAFAN]

Scranton beats Lycoming in Penalties...thanks Flo Sports..
