The Big Dance

This chick is so impressive analyzing what Kenyon is doing...I love this....In 7 minutes she recognized Kenyon in a 4-4-2 with a diamond but pinching their midfielders all the while moving north to south.....

Yeah she is really on-point, analyzing the pros and cons of the 4-4-2 diamond. I myself have not heard this level of tactical analysis in D3 announcing as best as I can remember (I do not mean to disservice all the great commentators out there, but just impressed with her analysis).

Case is awfully lucky not to be down by a lot more than 1-0.  Between the ball that was nearly poked in at the right post, the miss wide left on an open net, and the   open header that went straight at the keeper, that's at least three near misses.  And Case has had a couple decent chances as well.  This game seems to have several more goals in it.

She just said she used to coach collegiately.  It shows.

1-1, Case equalizes with 4 left in the half. Wonder how that will swing the momentum.

[blooter442]

WOW...Case gets another one less than two minutes later...poor defending by Kenyon and nobody took responsibility and cleared the ball and Magruder finished. 2-1.

That was particularly cruel on Kenyon who had shaded the run of play in the opening half methinks.

Overtime for Kenyon and Case. Kenyon controlled most of the second half when I was watching, Case still had a couple of chances though. Could be a crazy turf bounce that decides this one

Just realized that I know David Anderson, the kid who scored the tying goal for Kenyon.  They used to live in Belmont until six or seven years ago, when they moved to IL, and he used to play for the Bolts.  My son was on one of the younger Bolts teams with his younger brother (who now plays for Wooster, IIRC).

Granted I've only seen about 30 minutes of this game, but Kenyon is not impressing me and I don't see how they'll score in OT.

Did the order of the games for Messiah moved to Rochester stay the same or change???

Not sure if someone answered this but they remained the same.

Penalties in Cleveland.

[Ejay]

Clinical kicks.  Very impressed with both teams shots.  Congrats to Case.

[blooter442]

Have to say most of the penalties were very impressive. Even Anderson's that was saved looked decent, but the first three in particular were class I thought.

Tough way for the Lords to go out, but they made the most of their second life after being down to CMU in the final minute in the previous round.

Wow....my video was delayed and didn't even see PKs.  Kenyon had a header in OT from like 3-4 yards out that I don't know how it didn't go in.  Another stretch with several chances.

I thought it would be a 50/50 game and thought Kenyon would find a way, but end of 1st half was just a disaster.  Case is very good and very dangerous, especially on those long set pieces.  No complaints from me about Case moving on but heartbreaking.  Sometimes just do not get some of the decisions.....4-5 starters on bench last 8+ minutes of regulation and even longer than that with top 2 forwards out for 30 minutes.

Very disappointing.  Congrats to Case and will be cheering very hard for them from here.

[PaulNewman]

Wow....Kenyon's season over....at 18-1-3.

Love watching Calvin play. So good technically and passing the ball quick on the turf.
