3-0 Amherst...Cannot believe this game is being played on that field...I think the Home team makes the call but if not why would  RPI agree to play on that field if given the option...

Well despite having on paper the hardest path Amherst ends up with a cakewalk to the final four. Rowan missing their leading scorer for his 8th yellow card in the most NJAC move of all time. Then Messiah somehow losing to RPI. To be fair given the condition of the field, I think Amherst would have beaten Messiah as well.

Very choppy first half MSU and Centre. Fouls and injuries really bogging this one down. MSU seemed to have the better territorial advantage, but Centre getting off more shots. Still a toss-up at this point

If anyone is tuning in to the Amherst-RPI game, it is halftime and the field has been deemed unplayable.  Everyone is relocating to a turf field, which is why the live stream says the broadcast is finished. They say they will try to get up and running at the new field.

NOW HE DEEMS IT UNPLAYABLE??  Should have been done before the game. RPI plays on turf...how can u play one half on grass and one half on turf? I have nver heard of that

Assist of the year....from Garuba....Little 'ol Centre College going the Final Four!  Wow!  I mean Tom Brady could not have dropped that ball in any better.

Centre with the OT win at 94:47 over Montclair State, 3-2. Boy, bad defense for both sides in the 5:13 of extra-session soccer in that one. It looked like it would be a matter of which error could be exploited first. Unfortunately for MSU, it was theirs.

Congrats to the Colonels upon making the Final Four for the first time ever.

If Garuba played in the NESCAC he would have challenged for POY and be a household name.  Now he'll be on the same field with the NESCAC POY.

Again, this tournament will break your heart.  MSU was 50 seconds from the Final Four when Centre equalized in regulation.

If there's one thing that 2014 and 2018 taught us about Tufts in the Elite 8, it's that you:

No hyperbole Paul - just an amazing ball. But Centre will take shots from anywhere - good things happens - like their first goal.

YYYESSSSS!

Messiah's women finally, finally win a shootout, this time over defending champs Williams, to whom the Falcons have lost a couple shootouts in recent years. So, the Falcons are in fact headed to the Final Four, simply in the other bracket. GO, FALCONS. Keep the dream alive!

There are four different-colored sets of lines on the Swarthmore pitch. I recognize two of them: soccer and lacrosse. The other two are, I'm guessing, field hockey and ???

Tufts up 1-0 at Halftime on a fantastic goal about 3 minutes in. They had a couple other good looks but I thought Conn possessed well and had spurts of good combinations. The final ball is lacking and when it was there the player did not make the run. Conn is right in this game but need to be careful about giving up a 2nd.

Amherst finished off RPI 3-1 on the turf. RPI looked MUCH better on that turf and scored when their striker bodied up Johnson from the 6 and turned him and ripped it. 3 goals was just to much of an ask for RPI to dig out of.

Quidditch, I should think, given that it's Swarthmore.
