2021 NCAA Tournament

[Buck O.]

Correction SJC scored off a free kick to go up 1-0 v. NYU, NYU actually wearing the white jerseys but they initially gave credit to NYU for scoring. St Joseph's ME now up 2-0 v. NYU off a PK. Maybe I overestimated NYU a little bit, first time watching them play.

Of course, you had to pick a game where the regular NYU goalkeeper Luca Mancuso once again is serving a 1 game suspension, this time for getting his 5th yellow card of the season last Saturday vs Brandeis.  Not surprised in the least that the Monks are winning this one.  Mancuso had to sit out the game where Mount St. Vincent beat NYU earlier this season because he got a red card in the previous match vs Carnegie Mellon.

4:02 PM Eastern-- Looks like we have a lightning delay in New London, CT, as a storm is moving quickly through the New England area.  The game is suspended for the delay in the 75th minute.  Delay could be about an hour or two at the most.

They do not have lights....So if it is past 70th minute I think it is official. Or because it is an NCAA game do they just resume it tomorrow morning? Imagine having a whole night to not know who to prepare for.

Under NCAA Rule 7.5 of the NCAA Soccer Rules book, the game is official since it is past 70 minutes (See NCAA soccer rule 7.5.3) and St. Joe's Maine should advance as the winner of the Round 1 match vs NYU to play Connecticut College tomorrow in Round 2.  Under NCAA soccer rules, a suspended game has to be completed the same day it is suspended if the game is to be resumed at all.  Otherwise, it is a no contest if less than 70 minutes of game time has been completed, or the game is official if more than 70 minutes of play have elapsed.  Under the NCAA Soccer rule book, the governing sports authority for the DIII Men's soccer championships is the DIII Men's Soccer Committee as well as the DIII Championships Committee.

What a disaster to have your season finished without playing a full 90. So what happens if it was a tie when the game was postponed?

SJU's Twitter account says the game will resume at 7:30 on Conn College's turf field.  https://twitter.com/SJCmonks/status/1459641980464599043

NPU takes a 3-1 lead on Carleton, so it looks like it will be WashU at NPU tomorrow.  And RUC beats Springfield in OT, 1-0.

RUC/Springfield was an ECAC game

Oops.  Too many games going on and I lost track.

Why is there a postseason ECAC tournament, anyway?  Never really understood that.

[LetteroftheLaw]

A second for the Lords about a minute after the first! Couldn't really tell what happened but a man running through shot from the top of the 18. Looked like a decent strike if not total laces. This game has really livened up.

Yup Catholic starts slow in the second half similar to how they started the first half. Some poor defending on the first goal and a really good strike on the second. Game over with Catholics goalie making a reckless challenge..... and as I type Kenyon puts in a third.
Messiah vs Kenyon should be a doozy

Hopkins beat PSU-Harrisburg 2-1. The game was not streamed  (live stats only) so not much to add.

It's out there. I wasn't at a desk for the game, but was able to do my own highlights: https://boxcast.tv/view/ncaa-1st-round-mens-soccer-johns-hopkins-vs-penn-st-harrisburg-591370

Worth checking out both Hopkins goals. One is a nice cross and header at about minute 16, the winner comes in the 87th minute and would be a candidate for goal of the tournament (if that was a thing.)

The winner really is a great goal. St. Olaf's third today is also worth checking out.

I saw they got a late Goal in the 87th minute from a veteran from the 2019 team... Creedon?? I think...They came back from conceding an early goal.

PSUH scored in the first five minutes on a nice exchange and slotting home a goal. Hopkins scored about 10 minutes later on a header off of a very nice cross to the near post.

The winning goal came from Liam Creedon who lined up a half volley from about 25 yards and smacked it upper ninety with an arc. Unstoppable shot and given the moment (87th min) a truly brilliant goal. The stats might look level, but hopkins possession was on display today. Should be a very good match tomorrow against hosts JCU (330p kickoff).

No one watching the W&L game? The score doesn't reflect the run of play.

[Hopkins92]

Just tuned in to watch them break the tie. Thanks, Mom!

Very sick goal...lol the announcer you could tell was tired dealing with Hopkins possession as he seemed annoyed with it all right b4 the Goal. the 87th minute Goal is at about 2:16 45 I think

[Mr.Right]

Trinity TX 1-1 Pac Luth with 7min left ingame.

OWU v Calvin 0-0 Half

Wash College up 1-0 on SLU in 1st Half

[Mr.Right]

Swat and Stevens in a long lightning delay at 0-0 with 7 min left.

Trinity and Pacific Lutheran heading to OT. Pacific Lutheran is apparently in a serious financial hole. Also a censured AAUP University....


An absolutely sick Goal for Calvin to go up 1-0 on a bad OWU giveaway in their own end. That has got to be the Goal of the Tournament so far. Another Twigg??

[paclassic89]

Hopkins 2nd goal was way better

[Mr.Right]

Both were pretty sick...

This OWU announcer is either announcing a calm quiet Tennis match or a really tense cat burglary in process.

[Hopkins Walk-On]

The St. Joseph's twitter feed says the game v. NYU is supposed to resume at 7:30 pm. Not sure how that is possible if there are no lights (as an earlier post indicated) but I am not familiar with the venue.

[paclassic89]

Separate turf field with lights I believe.  Not sure if there will be any video in that case
