Polar Bears should have no problem since they are used to playing on ice, right?

Bowdoin HSU deadlocked at 0-0 with 10 minutes to go in the first half.

The field is terrible. I can't believe they are going to play another game on this pitch tomorrow. You can see the sand kicking up as the ball moves across the field.

Both teams have had pretty good chances so far. HSU sailed on over the bar from a couple yards out. Bowdoin had a really close header off a corner that may have just crossed the line but too hard to tell without goal-line technology to call it a goal. Tyler Huck just went on a great run and probably should've dished it out to a teammate for what would have been an easy goal but also sailed it over. Games gotten pretty tense over the last few minutes and I'd argue Bowdoin deserves to be up right now but just hasn't been able to finish one.

I attended the TU - Belhaven match.  Now I'm home and the turf looks much worse on camera than it is in reality.  The field is sound.

At the risk of inflaming opinion, The Billiard Table That Is Hitchcock Field suffers similarly... :o

SierraFD3Soccer provided the basic info from the Linkedin.  He was a longtime sports guy for the San Antonio newspaper and has gotten into broadcasting since then.  Came over from Australia to San Antonio originally because he was a youth minister.

Thanks SierraFD3 and Kuiper, do like his style.  It's also a bit of a treat to get such good camerawork too.

I guess you have not visited Hitchcock Field this year, among the best grass in NESCAC, they may be positioning for 2026 world cup, hosting a team.

Nothing sweeter than NESCAC on NESCAC crime.

Tyler Huck with a miraculous shot from outside the 18 to put Bowdoin ahead with 19 minutes to go. He's been doing that his entire career.

It wasn't even Huck's best shot (GK was caught leaning), but this was coming all evening.

And that's another for Bowdoin. Great assist from Carlton Steinberg puts it on a platter for FY Arthur De Santos. That's likely the nail in the coffin.
