It is a final at Gaelic Park.  Brandeis wins, 1-0, and NYU has been eliminated from the UAA title race.

Brandeis finishes at 11 points and a -1 goal differential in UAA play.  Brandeis finishes their season at 6-7-3 overall, 3-2-2 in the UAA.

NYU finishes at 12 points and a +2 goal differential in UAA play.  NYU's record is now 10-5-1 overall, and the Violets finish at 4-3 in the UAA

Brandeis goalkeeper Aiden Guthro made 7 saves to preserve the early 1-0 lead.

Both NYU goalkeeper Luca Mancuso and Brandeis's John Loo got their 5th yellow cards of the season today-- both cards came in the second half.

That means that Luca Mancuso will miss the first round of the NCAA tournament if the Violets get a Pool C bid.  If NYU does not get selected, then Luca Mancuso will have to sit out the first game next season due to yellow card accumulation.

Similarly, Brandeis's John Loo is also suspended for the first game next season due to yellow card accumulation..

Brandeis pulled out some decent results down the stretch and today capped it, even if they were out-shot and out-possessed. Below .500 is not where the program wants to be but they have a ton of young guys and I think they will only improve. Guthro kept them in a lot of games this year and could be one of the best goalies in D3. Optimistic to see what they do next year.

And Rochester wins it!  That means that the winner of the WashU-Chicago game tonight will be the outright UAA champion (with the Bears taking the title if the game ends in a tie).  And that gives a nice boost to Rochester's chances of getting a Pool C bid, too.  Go Bears!

Booooooooom!

[WUPHF]

If Washington University finishes outside the Top 4, I'll buy you a beer.

Agreed on this one, WashU looks legit and I think will finish in the top 3. It's a total coin flip this year IMO of who wins it. If UChicago could score, I would put them as the favorite. But goals have proven hard to come by, so I wouldn't be surprised by any team's ascension to the top this year.

Blue Jays nailed it!

MY COMMENT: one might think, that guys who are good enough academically to get into UAA schools would be smart enough not to do really stupid things on the soccer field. I'm sorry, but for a keeper to collect 5 Yellows in one season is just disgraceful. You can't do that with mirrors. It takes either arrogance, or stupidity, or both. In the game vs Messiah, Mancuso impressed me and didn't draw any cards. I have to wonder what he's like vs other teams.
