2021 D3 Men's Soccer National Perspective

[PaulNewman]

Gorgeous left-footed strike by #16 for St Olaf who in prior 15-20 had botched several plays including putting a corner out of bounds.  2-1 St Olaf.

Golden goal scored on a penalty kick by Mount St. Vincent in the 107th minute.

In the 107th minute, Yeshiva was called for a handball in the box, and it took at least 5 minutes of stoppage to set up the penalty kick.

In the process, a yellow card was given to Yeshiva's Naor Dahan, and a foul was called on Yeshiva's Marc Ziarno.

After what seemed like forever to set it up, Mount St. Vincent's Carlos Romero converts the penalty kick to win the game and send the Dolphins to the Skyline Conference championship game, which will be played on Saturday vs the winner of Merchant Marine vs Manhattanville.

The season continues on for the Mount St. Vincent Dolphins, as they are now 1 win away from the NCAAs.

Sorry I jumped the gun with my post. Did you catch all the nonsense after the game? Wowsers. Almost a fight btwn the players (a few separate instances) and then off-camera, but on-mic you could hear the MSV fans getting into it with Yeshiva.

Yeah didn't sound like great crowd control and lots of profanities on the stream.

It surely sounded ugly afterwards, and I was not really looking at the video on the screen after the penalty kick got converted.

Yeah, I had the LVC - Alvernia game on another stream and that was a) just a much better feed and b) a much better game. Pretty easy to mute the MSV game because the fans are, like, right on the mic. And very annoying.

Anyways, I should clarify... getting into it physically, it sounded like. As I was moving on with my day, I could see what appeared to be MSV administrators (?) jogging over to the Yeshiva bench with concern on their faces.

#16 for St Olaf from Costa Rica and went to the Williston Northampton School in Massachusetts.  Not sure how no New England schools picked him up.  An outstanding left back is from France.

This below is from website regarding former D3 NPOY Travis Wall, the St Olaf coach...

What Others Are Saying About Coach Wall

"Congratulations to St. Olaf College on a fantastic hire in Travis Wall. Travis was a tremendous player and is now a prepared and talented up-and-coming coach.

And speaking of that LVC - Alvernia game, LVC takes a 2-1 win.

But, at the very end with 3 seconds left, Alvernia had  free kick and dumped it into the box. The Alv. goalie had come forward and after the final whistle, while he and an LVC player were a little tangled up, he donkey-kicked the heck out of the LVC kid. Alvernia had players from the bench coming in to start more trouble.

C'mon guys. Pull it together.

Anyone watching the Hope/Kalamazoo game?  WTH is the guy on the sideline at the 50 doing with all his hand signals?

IDK, but seems to be working.  KZoo goes up 1-0 with 9 min left in 1st half.

If I'm Messiah's coach, I'm all over the officials about Stevenson's GK kit. C'mon.

I'm not watching it - what's the issue?

OWU, ranked #2 in the country by D3soccer.com is obviously a big favorite tonight under the lights versus Denison, but that said, Denison is hungry and the dynamic is fascinating with OWU product Bianco leading Denison to its best season in a decade.  The moment won't be too big for Bianco and I'm sure he has the Big Red pumped up to the max.  If they could get a win that might tip them more solidly into Pool C range if they were unable to complete the OWU-Kenyon double. 

0-0 under 8 min in 1st half.

Noteworthy that two Jay Martin disciples, Bianco and Wall at St Olaf, are leading their respective teams to their best seasons in years (probably best season ever for St Olaf).

Sorry to vague-post. His team is wearing a dark blue kit, he is wearing a slightly less bold, blue kit. Messiah is in white, blue shoulders.

The zoomed in shots shows it's probably not much of an issue, it just bugs me when goalies aren't more distinct from the two kits on the field.

Denison gets to the half 0-0 after surviving a flurry of OWU corners, but they also had some good chances.  Denison showed up.

[PaulNewman]

Randolph went up 1-0 on W&L but the Generals leveled off the foot of Charlotte product, Samuel Bass.

KZoo just went up 2-0 on Hope with 11 to go.

Big night of soccer.
