NCAA TOURNAMENT 2024

Calvin's defense on that corner kick goal wasn't exactly airtight. They usually seem pretty big in the back, but apparently not to lose two headers to let in the goal.

It looks like Hamilton has found Calvin's weakness and it is corner kick defense

Hamilton 2 - Calvin 1

Hamilton's home field is a very nice grass field, they should have no excuse.

Hamilton 2nd goal was a carbon copy of the first. Calvin getting a heavy dose of NESCAC ball

I know it's raining out there, but, man... keeper...

That was definitely in "his bubble" as the GK coaches like to say

Heading the ball is against the rules?

Weird interpretation of my comment.

My bad on the Hamilton field. I should have known better since I've watched over a half-dozen games on Love Field. I seem easily fooled by grass fields inside a track. Same setup as Oberlin.

Interesting 1st half. I hope Hamilton pulls it out. I'd rather take abuse from NESCACLAND (after a loss) than lose to Calvin. I don't trust Souders not to beat us. Peplowski is very good...looks like a player eager to put his team on his back...and I've always liked #21 whose name I will misspell without checking.

PKs coming?

Despite the announcer I'm pretty sure Calvin switched goalkeepers. The new keeper is Zak Moore.

Kenyon field looks better than the field Jamaica played USA on last night!

CACDaddy · November 15, 2024, 03:02:11 PM

Hamilton scores a third to make it 3-1.

Hopkins92 · November 15, 2024, 03:09:13 PM

Welp. Put that in the "sure they deserve all those bids" column.

Really? I certainly didn't interpret it as pro-NESCAC, apologies if it was. Next time Van Dijk scores with a header for Liverpool, I can now dismiss it as, "NESCAC ball".

LOL. You're an adult, why are you being so petty? Pretty sure PA was just alluding to the NESCAC's propensity to score on set pieces. No different than saying "X team getting a dose of Y team/conference ball" when Y team/conference has a propensity for wearing teams down with possession or any other style for that matter.
