For Catholic it will all come down to their defense.  At one point in the season they were very stingy on giving up goals but that changed.  You can score on Catholic and their outside backs can be beaten.  You will need to score against them however, as they have shown they are very capable of scoring.

A bad red taken by Rowan, were fortunate to get out of there with a win.  Beat a good team in Ramapo

Fans were REALLY out of control and from what I could see on a livestream there didnt seem to be reason for it.  Honestly I didnt see one team having the better play over the other, actually both missed many open passes and rarely did I see a play that was exciting to watch.  Overall I would say that Etown is a better team then Scranton is but to be real, neither has a chance against Catholic if Catholic plays anywhere close to their potential.  I dont expect it to be a close match.

Ugly game so far, no possession by either side to speak of......each side clearing the ball, no real soccer going on here.

So much for Scranton getting that top 10 vote.  Tied Ursinus, not a good result.

Still not understanding the Moravian love.  Beat a poor Juniata team 3-2, lost to Lycoming, beat Susquehanna on a pk call, lost to Muhlenberg, lost to Scranton.  Could have lost their last 5.  Earlier in the year lost to Montclair and tied Ramapo, which if you look at their schedule might be the best result they have........a tie to Ramapo.  In your defense, I dont know who I would put in there, maybe Scranton.

I think you are giving Moravian too much credit.  They are a young team and next year will be their year but as of now they play some matches well and others, well not so great.  They were completely outplayed by Lycoming and Susquehanna had the better of them also.  If not for a last minute, questionable PK call Moravian would be on a three game losing streak.

Seems to me there is a nice dropoff from the top 5 to the next 5.

TCNJ is underrated IMO, but they started off strong last year also and quickly fell off the cliff.

Lycoming seems to have some issues on defense but this coach has a habit of fixing such problems.  It will be interesting to see if they play the same four in the back in their next match.

There must be a better solution than Zardes, must be.

UC keeper making great saves or this score could be 4-1 at this point.

D1 rosters are littered with players that dont play and are D3 players taking space on a D1 team, used for practice, and tuition.  Just wanted to show the other side of the story.

You noticed the York player because he is so tall, other than that he did nothing in the 2 games I saw him play.  People focus in so much on height, but the reality is that you also need to have skill.
