The Big Dance

[Saint of Old]

Yea disappointing for sure for SLU but Williams not much better,,,,Etown defeats Williams 2-1 to advance....Williams made to many errors and just did not look themselves all game...Williams has now not won an NCAA game in 5 years....Just ridiculous for a program that had such history and deep runs in the NCAA's. Not a good way to go out....very disappointing....

Cheer up my friend, the fact that you can be disappointed shows the high quality of the program.
I think the taste of the dance is great for the program.
The Coach knows all too well what it takes to go all the way and it is good that he has now done so as the top man at his Alma Mater.
It is tough to rebuild something that was already great... as we are seeing with the Saints as well.

Something tells me that  the 2nd championship is the hardest one to get :{

Pool C teams have been a disaster so far...

Pool C teams have been a disaster so far...

Record?

[lastguyoffthebench]

Maybe not too bad, but the teams that should have won faltered.

Looks like a good night for EZK.

NYU equalizes with two minutes left...wowzah...NYU kid hits a long one and not sure if it took a deflection but you can tell the NYU fans were surprised by that. 1-1.

Watching it again the Haverford defense just kept backing off as NYU came forward and it nicked off the back of the kid's -- who was running back -- heel and looped over the GK. Decent strike but the deflection helped.

Can't help but laugh to see an AR wearing leggins and a hat in NYU-Hav.   Toughen up, guy

Got to hand it to Brockport for having a good scouting report on SLU. They knew going in that if pressured SLU backs tend to give the ball away. This game was no different. Unfortunately for SLU they weren't able to get a point out of the 4 Musketeers. Great group of senior offensive players hung up their cleats tonight.

Just got back from seeing Trinity(TX) take out the trash, I mean Chapman, 3-0 in a game that wasn't that close.  Chapman pulling players down constantly and playing very physically led to 2 PKs for Trinity (one brilliantly saved by the Chapman keeper).   Chapman coach got two yellows and a red in quick succession with about 18' to go. 

Trinity will need a better effort tomorrow against a solid Mary Hardin-Baylor squad that is up 2-0 late on "top regionally ranked" Southwestern.

NYU with its tails up. Been the more dangerous side in the first OT.

[blooter442]

Wooooof...about 10 seconds left in the first OT and a Haverford kid plays a give-and-go which has him 1v1 but his touch is too heavy and the keeper collects at the second attempt.

Hope that Boxcast doesn't just shut off at its "end time" like it did last year.
