UAA 2018

Random question....how do the teams that need to fly (Emory, Wash U, etc) get to Rochester.  I presume there are no direct flights.  Is the typical connection Cleveland, NYC, Columbus, I assume not a lot of directs to Buffalo either?  I also would guess that CWRU and CMU drive, but that's a long ride for Brandeis and NYU.

Fly into Buffalo and bus down to Rochester.

So there are direct flights to Buffalo and there's a connection and then Buffalo?  And if a connection I wonder why wouldn't fly directly into Rochester. 

And does everyone fly there except for CWRU and CMU?

Brandeis used a direct flight to Buffalo and then took a bus ride from there since they are only about an hour apart.

When Brandeis and Rochester used to only play each other in a weekend, Brandeis would bus from Boston.

Buffalo is a bigger city with a much busier airport than Rochester. Buffalo Niagara International Airport has almost twice as many passenger boardings annually than Greater Rochester International Airport. It's likely that Buffalo's airport gets a lot more flights than Rochester's.

It honestly depends, but I know one approach if you are Washington University or Chicago and your Friday game is against Rochester and your Sunday game is against Emory...

You fly to Atlanta, then fly direct to Rochester, spend the night, play, then fly direct back to Atlanta, play, then back home.

Big game tonight with CWRU vs Rochester. Winner will likely separate themselves from the pack for the 2nd or maybe even 1st place finish in the conference if U-Chicago slips up again. Expect CWRU to come out packing tonight having a chance to cement their first Tournament Birth since like 2010

Thank you!  I actually know my cities pretty well and had a kid go to Rochester and there almost never we're direct flights from Boston.  In my experience, Buffalo, while much bigger, also doesn't have a ton of direct flights from many big cities.  Surprised to hear there is a direct from Atlanta.

P.S.  And in fact, there's not a huge difference between the 2nd and 3rd largest cities in NY State......260kish versus 210kish.

I thought those were direct flights, but I did a quick Google search and it looks like they may be connecting through Baltimore or Charlotte.

Your idea was right.  CWRU playing UR now and then headed to Atlanta...and BTW we're up early on UR 1-0.

[PaulNewman]

CWRU 2-1 at the half....CMU-Emory 0-0 at half...all these UAA teams are very even IMO...CMU peppered Emory early and then vice versa latter part of 1st half... CMU GK with some super saves, reminding me if wim-preserving save versus Lycoming off a free kick with about 20 secs left.

[Mr.Right]

Brandeis goes back to Cohen in net as Irwin gets the sack after Amherst match. Not sure about that move at all......Unless Margolis is now splitting the duties but Brandeis still can win the UAA and I just think at least Irwin gives you some experience in these games.

[PaulNewman]

Brandon Bowman causing problems again even as CMU is awarded a PK to go up 1-0.

[Mr.Right]

Emory close to 0-5-0 and should be well on their way to host a 1st/2nd Rnd Pod

[Mr.Right]

Brandeis not many changes in the lineup except Panson is attacking midfielder with Glass and Gans holding with Gans allowed a little freedom to attack...Allen ND Warren out wide and Nardizzi up top with Burch and Walter as CB's and Handler LB and Panarra RB

[Mr.Right]

Nice long ball into a running Wash U Sproule into the box as he lost his defender rather easily by sprinting past Walter but Cohen looked to have blocked the angle but Sproule snuck it in because Cohen overran it and covered to much of the near post and Sproule snuck it to his left...Again careless defending and bad GK'ing as that positioning by Cohen sucked but Walter has had numerous times this season losing focus in the run of play
