Turf though?  Just realized one semi-final has 2 teams with turf home fields and the other has 2 with natural grass home fields.  Weather in Salem is still looking poor especially tomorrow.  Could the conditions at Kerr have an impact?

I'm thinking not especially with W&L.  They may play on grass, but practice on turf. Amherst probably plays many games on turf and many if not most players spent their entire club careers and summer ball on turf.

I did have a funny incident today in Georgetown also.  Now, they aren't sponsoring my foul count, but I am a fan of Vineyard Vines and visited the shop there today.  I was chatting to the young man (makes me sound old) assisting me and when we established I was here for the soccer, supporting Amherst (and PN there is no way there is a 5pct support for The Mammoths on this board!) he suddenly showed me his belt which had a W&L logo on it and advised me he was a 2021 alum and knew one or two soccer players.  It's a small world.

We're every where!!!

Surprised Kier has not mentioned the huge advantage W&L has with regard to familiarity of the host being a conference foe as ell as being just up 81 from Salem vs the other teams.

An entertaining game at Geiseman last night as CUC nipped Greenville 119-117. I’ve never liked “The System” style of play but it was an interesting game experience and the fans seemed to enjoy it.

Despite the high amount of turnovers this type of game produces, I liked CUC’s overall approach. They did an excellent job driving to the basket and getting back on defense consistently. Guard play was tremendous, especially Justin Greenlee with 20 points and 14 rebounds (both career highs, I think).

Back to NACC play on Saturday with WLC coming to town. Conference play should be fun this year if not predictable (was surprised to see IIT knock off Norbert last night).

IIT shot lights out the entire game never seen shooting like that before especially against a Norbert team.  Not going to lose many games shooting 60% from 3

Andy Kotelnicki leaving Kansas to take offensive coordinator position at Penn State

Congrats to Andy!   I know LL has some good UW-W depth in offensive coaches. Jim Zebrowski up next!  He's another great one! I just wanted to beat you to it, BW, so you didn't add an "m" to his name.  ;)

Congrats to Washington & Lee GK Will Joseph who won the NCAA DIII Men's Soccer Elite 90 award! I particularly like the double major in accounting and classics.  Only a GK would have that combo!
