This UChicago team is multitalented: soccer and acting.

Well fouls were 19-7 committed by WashU and 3-0 on yellow cards, so maybe they're just trying to play more physical or something.

I would say both are true. The foul on Koh to set-up the free kick goal was clearly a foul.

Overall, I had way more fun watching this team than I would have expected with final season record of 7-7-2.

NYU defeats Brandeis 1-0 in 2OT with 15 seconds left in the game. Fitting way for Brandeis to close a disappointing 7-9-2 season..That has to be their worst record in maybe 10 years and kind of shocking after back to back NCAA Final Four's....

Story of their season -- close but not close enough. Worst since 6-10-2 in 2009.

In a way I think it's almost better to be out of the NCAA running and not be one of the first teams out than the inverse? Straws are being clutched.

I thought the turtles lobbied states to get rid of straws? I like the turtles...Feeding turtles cheerios is very relaxing IMO.

Emory scores 1 goal in conference play and finishes at 0-6-1...

Do they sneak into the South Atlantic rankings this week?

If this was basketball season, we'd be giving them regional hosting duties already...

Can someone explain?

Case Western Reserve gets the coaching staff of the year honors this season. Rochester last season.

My impression is that coaching staff awards are given for improvement as much as for excellence, and Case has succeeded on both counts this season.

Personally I would have been very surprised if Bianco and staff hadn't won Coaching staff of the year in the UAA. Phenomenal job he has done there, and, given where they had been, a phenomenal season.

3-straight UAA MVPs for Chicago - Koh, Lopez, Capotosto. All in the same class. Bet you wouldn't be able to find 3 MVPs from same class in any sport.

Messiah
Wood, Payne, Bender. 3 National POY over 4 years. All on the 2013 team...

But they weren't in the same class. Koh, Lopez and Capotosto are all current seniors.

So I crunched some numbers tonight to test my perception that WashU was the youngest team in the league. Here's the percentage of starts made by players in each class for each team. (I would have preferred to have used percentages of minutes played, but most of the schools don't report those data.)

     Srs.     Jrs.    Sophs.   Fr.     WAA
Brandeis    24%   49%   11%   15%    2.81
CMU     49%   36%   10%   5%     3.28
CWRU    21%   34%   27%   18%    2.59
Chicago    29%   28%   35%   7%     2.80
Emory    34%   26%   35%   5%     2.90
NYU     32%   16%   26%   26%    2.53
Rochester   51%   43%   2%    4%    3.40
WashU    27%   18%   26%   30%    2.41

WAA is the weighted average "age" of starters, where 4 = senior, 3 = junior, 2 = sophomore, and 1 = freshman.

Turns out I was right. WashU has the lowest WAA, the highest percentage of starts by freshmen, and the highest percentage of starts by underclassmen, but NYU was close behind in all of those categories, as both schools allocated more than half their starts to underclassmen. CWRU is close to them as well. At the other end of the spectrum, upperclassmen got better than 90 percent of the starts at Rochester, and about 85% at CMU.

If the case for the coaching staff of the year is to be made on improvement, Case Western Reserve should have been a shared the honor with NYU.

Speaking of the all conference team - they must have made a mistake becaus the rookie of the year from NYU was not on first team, second team, or honorable mention...

This has happened enough times that it is likely not a mistake. Maybe not in Men's Soccer, but certainly throughout the varsity sports.
