Big Dance 2022 - Let's Go!

[northman]

Currently watching the Polar Bears on split screen with LIV-SOU. Bowdoin hosting the XC regionals as well as this pod. You can see the women's runners in the background of the game!

It was a throughly enjoyable three ring circus at the Bowdoin athletic complex today.  The Bowdoin v Merchant Marine game kicked off just after the starting gun sounded for the D3 Region 1 X-C championships, with several hundred women racing around the mens soccer field.  In another corner of the complex the Bowdoin women's rugby team was playing a semi-final game.

Add to that the wild weather...which started out warm, cloudy and misty before giving way to an absolute deluge for 10 minutes of the first half...followed by bright sunshine, wind and 70 degree temps during the second half.  You can't beat New England fall weather!

Tufts and UMASS-B are tied. Seems a pretty one-sided affair, but Tufts can't seem to crack them.

Mighty Ducks salt it away on a breakaway... 3-1 with under 5 mins.

[Another Mom]

Washington and Lee move on, 5-1.

Two Boston-area teams playing in Oneonta. Meanwhile, it's 75 degrees and sunny at Bello.  Would have been an unsurpassed day to catch a game.  (Sigh.)

Literally as I clicked on Post, Tufts takes the lead, 1-0.

Kenyon advances 4-0 over Calvin. Embarrassing way to end the season. Finished the last 25 minutes of the game with 9 men. Hopefully this bad taste fuels them this off season for next year.  Absolutely need to improve the defense for next year to have any chance of competing for a national title.

I just got finished saying that you can't judge a team by one game, so I won't judge Calvin by one game.  But I sure didn't see much from them this afternoon.  I only saw parts of the game, but 4-0 fairly reflects the parts I saw.

The much talked about SLU-RW game is still knotted at 0's... Under 10 minutes...

Sibonda (sp) is very fun to watch.

Oh, and Vassar just tied things up against Babson.

Going to OT in Amherst

I mentioned at some point that Penn St. Harrisburg is a tough out. They gave Hopkins all they wanted and more in last year's first round. They have tied OWU and that game is very late in the 2nd.

Wow. PK (legit) called with 1:14 left... What a dagger.

Most uninspiring performance I have seen from Calvin this year.

OWU looking to kill this one off. Up 2-1 with about 2:30 left in OT2.

PKs in Amherst.
