What a talent. I played with his brother and they are such different players but equally skilled.

Agreed. Sam was a big-game player, and so is Josh. Both were excellent yet very different, Sam as a striker in the final third and Josh all over the field, but I do remember someone saying after Sam was named an All-American "you wait, his brother is even better." I scoffed at the possibility that they could be on the same level, figuring it was impossible, but clearly I was mistaken.

AMherst playing with real urgency now. If they had done so 15 minutes ago, they'd still have a lead.

Is the UAA about to get 4 teams into the elite 8? INSANE

After my senior year i played in summer league with both of them. Josh was only 17/18 at the time, but it was clear he would be a fantastic talent as well.

amherst does it again. Not a strong showing from the NESCAC today

ROCHESTER TAKES OUT AMHERST, 2-1. Out of control at the end, when Amherst was hitting everyone in sight without any whistles.

Falcon fans are thanking Rochester for making the world safer for democracy. Or, something like that.   :o

Amherst season ends to UR 2-1 and again Serpone is going to need to recruit a GK because the GK's in his program right now are not good enough...Stone cost them today. Way to many GK errors led to Amherst losses this season..It was a very wet day but UR's shot was a harmless hit that Stone coughed up and from there UR gained a ton of confidence.

Classic Amherst. If you can't beat them, foul the **** out of them.

Mr.Right

Hopefully they flew to Baltimore and drove the hour up to PA because that is ONE LONG BUS RIDE home if they did not fly

Mr.Right

Meanwhile we have a Boston derby coming because Brandeis is going to take down Drew here....I have not been impressed with Drew today as they have not really threatened today as I cannot remember a dangerous chance today for Drew.

It's actually about two hours from Grantham to BWI, Mr Right, even on a Saturday evening. Always takes at least 90-100 minutes to Camden Yards. As you say, one long bus ride otherwise.

Almost jinxed us Mr. Right! That was close.

Mr.Right

A tad nervy for Brandeis here as Drew had their best chance of the day with 3 minutes left in the game when Woodhouse bobbled one a bit...


SO:

Brandeis at Tufts  Elite 8 tomorrow....Gotta love that...Brandeis is gonna want a piece...Big time game...Lookin forward to that one

NEsoccerfan

I wonder if a single conference has EVER had 4 teams in the elite 8. Unbelievable.

A matchup worthy of an Elite 8 battle. Well done Judges! Regardless of the way it goes, the team that moves on will certainly deserve to go to the Final 4.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but well done to UR. (It should be noted that my distaste for them is mostly because they are always a tough game, regardless of record.) They have certainly proved a few doubters (myself included) wrong.
