And looking at it again, that's a pretty debatable DoGSO. The other defender was closing him down.

OK, thanks to both of you.

MW needs to win this game.  If they don't the resume will be basically indistinguishable from Hamilton and several others.

I can't believe the defender was sent off, it's just astounding, assuming that I have viewed the film right and the player was definitely coming back from an offside position.  If it had been my team I might have had to be escorted away from the stadium, it's so clearly wrong it's not funny.  I am not sure if the assistant referee actually saw the offside, in games without VAR it's not like they are going to review it anyway.  Even in games where there is a review it doesn't make sense to me.

And imagine, whether true or not, losing a NCAA bid because of that call/non-call and thinking about that for the next eight or nine months.

It's a stunningly bad decision.

Meanwhile, Salisbury player trucks a MW guy in the box and they bury the PK. Couldn't have been better timing for MW, because the longer they have to play down a man, the harder it was going to be to try and get a game winner. Still 30 minutes left.

I don't know if I'd call the game chippy, but there have been some real clashes from both sides.

Yeah, ref is letting way too much go. Would not be surprised to see another PK here.

Definitely soft and a dive possibly (dark arts).  Problem was thàt the center ref was trailing so far behind and probtcould gauge the other back coming on. Sad call. Yellow but not straight red.

[Hopkins92]

And Salisbury with a red. I can't tell if that was his second yellow or this guy in the center doesn't understand DoGSO.

The Salisbury keeper has made a handful of remarkable saves. His best just now off a possible own goal... great reaction save.

[PaulNewman]

The ref looks like he figured out he screwed up during halftime...and now he's doing make-up calls and non-calls...just lost his way on this one.

[Hopkins92]

Boo.

Mary Washington hates fun. Fun burglars!

1-0 EOM

If a player has accumulated 4 yellows and gets a 5th in the league championship, am I remembering the rules correctly in that they don't have to serve a suspension since the threshold for a suspension is increased to 8 yellows in the NCAA tournament?

[College Soccer Observer]

Once postseason begins, which includes the conference tournaments, it takes 8 total yellows to earn a suspension.

[jdfranklin23]

What are thoughts around the nation about the rule changes with regards to no OT during regular season? What about no Golden Goal in the post-season?

So far, I'm not a fan.  I feel like not having Golden Goal penalizes the team that scores (who IMHO should be the winner) and if that team goes on to win, it is going to tire them out and possibly lead to more injuries.

Thoughts? 

Have there been any glaring/egregious impacts so far in conference tournaments?

[stlawus]

I definitely don't like the no golden goal.  Now teams are forced to play an extra 20 minutes no matter what.  Felt a bit bad today for RIT against SLU.  RIT had an OT win against RPI midweek off a goal at the start of the 2nd OT.  And extra 10 minutes makes a huge difference at this stage in the season, and they were noticeably fatigued today in the 2nd half against SLU.

Today's weather is going to wreak some havoc in Chicagoland games. Wind advisory until 7 PM, 25-30 MPH constant with gusts up to 60 MPH. Wind-blown goals incoming.

Sounds like the the Trinity (TX) 4-3 victory over Colorado College last night in Sherman, Texas in a game delayed multiple times because of tornado warnings and high winds.
