 Eastern Soccer Programs Recognized For Sporting Behavior     
WILLIMANTIC, Conn. -- Eastern Connecticut State University is one of only four institutions nationwide – the only one from New England -- to have both its men's and women's soccer programs qualify for a 2012 National Soccer Coaches' Association of America (NSCAA) Ethics Award.

The Eastern men's and women's soccer team both qualified for a Bronze Team Ethics Award for accumulating ten or less yellow and no red cards over the course of the 2012 season. The Eastern men were issued eight yellow cards in 20 matches during a 17-2-1 season and the women's team was given three yellow cards in 18 matches during a 9-6-3 campaign.

A very young, (5 jr, the rest Freshman/So on a team of 23), ECSU squad was defeated by a veteran Wesleyan Cardinals team yesterday afternoon by a score of 1-0.   Freshman forward Adam Cowie-Haskell made his first career goal, (@74.57), a game-winner that lifted Wesleyan University men's soccer team over the Warriors.  The first half of play was relatively even under harsh weather condition of high humidity and 90 degree heat, and the Warriors had 2-3 legitimate scoring chances, however the Cardinals dominated play/possession the last quarter of the match, with Eastern seemingly running out of steam, (conditioning??). Senior Ben Bratt led a sensational Cardinal defense yesterday, breaking up numerous ECSU offensive drives.

ECSU returns to action vs MIT on Saturday in Cambridge MA.

Watched some of the Thomas - St. Joe's (Maine) match today. St. Joes is 0-3 and have been outscored 13-2.  Lost 13 players and a new coach, going to be a looong year for the Monks.  Been tracking them because my nephew played hoops with their goalie Scott Benner.  Great kid and good goalie, but he's just outmatched with no help.  Had 42 saves in 16 starts last year; he's already got 18 in 3 games this year with 72 shots(!) by opponents so far.  All he needs is the blindfold and hands tied to make it a true firing squad.   I believe you file this one under character-building year.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Junior back Gavin Neuendorf (Norwich) scored his second career goal in the 60th minute to give the Eastern Connecticut State University men's soccer team a 2-2 tie with MIT Saturday afternoon at Steinbrenner Stadium. The match was called prior to the start of overtime due to thunderstorms.

MAHWAH,  N.J. – After experiencing little success against Ramapo College of New Jersey in the first eight years of this century, the Eastern Connecticut State University men's soccer team has come full circle. Saturday, first-year sophomore Tyler Jones (Vernon) scored his first goal at Eastern late in the first half and the Warriors extended their unbeaten streak against the Roadrunners to seven in a 1-1, double overtime draw Saturday afternoon at the Ramapo Athletic Center

ECSU mens soccer loses a heart breaker 1-0 to a 3-0-2 Albertus Magnus side with 2 minutes to go in 2nd OT after dominating most of the match!! (Box score not out yet).  Eastern had plenty of chances to win but just could not finish this afternoon. Sr John DeCasenova who has been struggling, and beat Lukemia, started his first game in 2 years.  IMO, ECSU played one of their best halves I have seen this year, with DeCasenova in the line-up, but frustratingly could not score!!  Unfortunately that's the way soccer games end sometimes. 
The Warriors begin conference play Saturday evening @ WestConn.

Viewed the ECSU @ WCSU live last night in Danbury.  Eastern started the match really well, with excellent ball movement via crisp passing in the midfield and took an 1-0 lead on a beautiful hookup by So Konor Scarponi off a Gavin Neuendorf cross @ 25'.  Then Western scored @ 41 ' and Eastern play deteriorated considerably there after.  Warrior defensive weakness has often been leading to opponent goals recently, case in point the last minute goal to Albertus Magnus on Tues, primarily as a result of failure to clear in the box due to giveaways.   
Eastern's second half was marginally better with So Tyler Jones slipping by Westconn's goalkeeper, (@ 75' mark), off a feed from Jr Cooper D'Ambrosio, for a very nice finish. However, play still resembled kickball.  Suffice it to say that the Warriors need to develop more consistency in the midfield and tighten up on D especially during the tense late stages of close games.  IMO, early in their matches, (first 25 min) they can look very dangerous, while later can be disorganized and uncomfortable on the ball.
Hopefully experience/playing time between the So newcomers and the many freshman will sort this situation out.

MAN of the MATCH was Sophomore Konnor Scaponi who gave Colonial defenders lots of trouble last night!!!

ECSU vs Gordon 0-0 at halftime. Gordon, who takes a LOT of shots, so far most from 20 yards out, has been out played by Eastern in the first half. Eastern doing a pretty good job with ball possession and scoring chances, but nobody can finish.
The Eastern TV CAMERA work for this game is horrible, (ie the play is in one location on the field and the camera is pointed somewhere else), and on top of this someone needs to clean the lens!!!!  Sooo frustrating!!  As I have stated before and I'll state again, how difficult can this be!!!!!?????
I will give credit to Matt Bosse, he is doing an excellent job on the play by play!!

Hopefully the Warriors can finish in the 2nd half... they have come close 3 times so far!!
