UAA soccer 2021

[deiscanton]

A Chicago 1-0 win at North Park last night is a great way to close out the UAA mid-season break.....

Matchday #5-- Friday, October 29, 2021

1.)  Rochester at NYU-- 1:30 PM Eastern start.

All remaining UAA Matchday #5 games have a start time of approx 7:30 PM Eastern

2.)  Emory at Brandeis
3.)  Chicago at CWRU
4.)  Wash U at Carnegie Mellon

Matchday #6-- Sunday, October 31, 2021

All start times approx 1:30 PM Eastern

1.)  Emory at NYU
2.)  Rochester at Brandeis
3.)  Chicago at Carnegie Mellon
4.)  Wash U at CWRU

NYU starts Matchday #5 in first place at 9 points  (a 1 point lead over Emory; a 2 point lead over Wash U; and a 3 point lead over Rochester and Chicago in the table.)

If Rochester wins on Friday afternoon at NYU, the Yellowjackets would temporarily take over first place in the UAA going into the Friday night games based on the head to head win vs NYU.

Tuesday Oct. 26-- 10:36 AM Eastern update-- the midseason UAA break ended on Saturday on the women's side as well.  Due to the noreaster, the Brandeis women will not be playing JWU-Providence this season, as that match originally scheduled for tonight has now been cancelled.

6 UAA teams are regionally ranked in the NCAA DIII Week 2 Regional Rankings just released this afternoon:

1.)  Rochester (#2 in Region III)
2.)  NYU (#2 in Region IV)
3.)  Emory (#2 in Region VI)
4.)  CWRU (#6 in Region VII)
5.)  Chicago (#1 in Region VIII)
6.)  Wash U (#2 in Region VIII)

Because this is the more active UAA thread, I'll mention that every UAA team is ranked on the women's side.  The multi-region footprint sure has its privileges.

Chicago and Washington travel to both Case Western Reserve and Carnegie Mellon this weekend with the teams subsequently playing each other in the final weekend.

Just, FYI, on the women's side, Wash U is in first place at 12 points (a 5 point lead over Carnegie Mellon, Case Western Reserve, and Chicago, and a 6 point lead over Emory.)   Rochester, Brandeis, and NYU (at 3 points, 3 points, and 0 points respectively) are officially eliminated from getting the AQ, and must try to get in to NCAAs via the at-large Pool C route.

On Friday, the Rochester at NYU women's match starts at 11 AM Eastern, with the remaining women's matches having a 5 PM Eastern start.

On Sunday, all women's matches have a start time of 11 AM Eastern.

The matchups are the same as the men's matches.

[deiscanton]

We are about ready for a 1:30 PM Eastern start for Rochester at NYU as both men's teams are walking out onto the pitch at Gaelic Park now.

[deiscanton]

NYU takes the early 1-0 lead on a header from Oliver Kleban in the 15th minute.  Assist from Nathan Bennett.  It is Kleban's 7th goal of the season.

I admit that as a neutral for this match, it is amusing to hear "Score is 1-0-- good guys."  The guys are only good if the guys are playing for your home team. 

Rochester is obviously travelling by bus this weekend.  I see their team bus in the background.  Rochester always busses to NYU and Brandeis because the ride between each city is only about 6 to 7 hours max each way travel time.

Men's live stats for Rochester vs NYU went down in the 26th minute, but the live video is still working.

LOL!

Can you post us some pics of your command center?

[deiscanton]

Sorry, PaulNewman, I really cannot do that right now...

Halftime is NYU 1, Rochester 0

I can tell you that NYU has the final live stats for the earlier women's game on their men's live stats page.  That is why I cannot post live stats on the men's side right now....

Hopefully, NYU can fix the problem for the start of the second half, otherwise, I will have to wait until the box score gets posted.

Update-- The NYU commentator has just announced that there will be no live stats for the remainder of the men's game due to technical difficulties.  The announcement was made at the start of the second half.

Final--

NYU defeats Rochester 2-0

Talal Said scores in the 90th minute-- literally with less than 5 seconds left to seal the win for NYU.

Rochester had a lot of possession in the second half, but could not find the equalizer. 

NYU improves to 4-1 in the UAA (12 points, +4 goal differential in UAA play), and remains in first place going into Sunday's match vs Emory.

NYU's overall record improves to 10-3-1.

Rochester falls to 2-3 in the UAA (6 points, -2 goal differential in UAA play) and remains tied for 4th place with Chicago with Chicago having the head-to-head result vs Rochester.

Rochester's overall record drops to 8-3-3.

The remaining men's games in UAA play for Matchday #5 start at approximately 7:30 PM Eastern with Emory at Brandeis, Chicago at CWRU, and Wash U at Carnegie Mellon.

[deiscanton]

The evening matches start with a Brandeis goal from Skylah Dias in the 15th minute with an assist from Jared Panson.  It is Skylah Dias's first collegiate goal.

Brandeis leading over Emory, 1-0, in the 20th minute.

[deiscanton]

Max Mehlman scores the equalizer for Emory to tie the match at 1-1 in the 22nd minute with an assist from Charlie Scruton.

So far, Emory is leading on shots, 10-1, and on shots on target, 4-1.

Emory is also leading in corners over Brandeis, 3-0.  Emory's play on the corners is what enabled the Eagles to tie the match.

Wash U is leading over Carnegie Mellon, 1-0, on a goal from Owen Culver in the 22nd minute.

[deiscanton]

Chicago and CWRU have just kicked off.  The women's match finished with a draw in extra time, hence the delayed start.

[deiscanton]

Scores at halftime--

Brandeis 1, Emory 1

Wash U 2, Carnegie Mellon 0

Wash U's second goal came in the 39th minute from Nolan Wolf.

8:50 PM Eastern update-- Chicago and CWRU tied at 0-0 at the half.

[deiscanton]

Emory has now taken a 2-1 lead on Brandeis on a goal from Nate Sampson in the 77th minute.  It is Sampson's 3rd goal of the season.

Emory is leading in shots, 27-7, and in shots on target, 14-1. 

With that onslaught, Emory was going to take the lead sooner or later. even with Brandeis goalkeeper Aiden Guthro making 11 saves.
