Big Dance 2022 - Let's Go!

[PaulNewman]

Gutsy effort by N. Central....2 minutes away from an embarassing exit and earlier they had seemed to be melting down. 

[Flying Weasel]

Game over.  North Central survive; win 3-2.  Keep undefeated season going.  Wild finish to the game!

[MNBob]

But 10-man North Central ties it up with 2:15 left.

And a minute later the Cardinals score again!  Lead 3-2!  Wow!

This ending is nuts.

Indeed. I tuned in just in time to see the ending.

[Convict charlie]

Just happened to tune into the north central game for the last ten minutes. Killer saves too for the uw- superior keeper as well to keep it 2-1. Two were world class. Then the ending.

[Coach Jeff]

And North Central is down to 10 men with 15 minutes remaining in regulation.

They won with 2 goals in the 89 minute...3-2 North Central

The games in Texas have been chippy (or maybe worse) tonight.  There was almost a fight in the Chapman-St. Thomas game that led to at least one card and in the Pacific Lutheran-Mary Hardin-Baylor game there was just about a full on brawl and they've cut off the video and called a break in the action to review the film to decide whether a punch was thrown.  PLU is up 1-0 right now halfway through the first half.

Why cut off the video?  It's not like it's going to incite us.

No idea.

St. Olaf making quick work of Lake Forest.  Up 4-0 within the first 20 minutes.

[MNBob]

St. Olaf already up 4-0 over Lake Forest and the play is as one-sided as the score.

[SierraFD3soccer]

F&M up 2-0 now.

If it's not obvious from Stevens and F&M feeds, it's absolutely gorgeous on the East Coast today. High 60s and mostly sunny up and down the seaboard.

More than gorgeous, incredible for a mid Nov game. A bit colder tomorrow.

F&M had to work for it. Did not score till the 53 min.  USJ CT is a crafty team.  They might have something going and only 5 years old.

On to SUNY Cortland.

[Flying Weasel]

It's interesting that Mary Hardin-Baylor and Pacific Lutheran are playing each other in the 1st Round of both the men's and women's tournaments, with the same scheduled start time (7:30 pm CT)*, just two hours driving distance apart.

* -  the women's game had a late start because the earlier game went to PK's.

Yeah, here south central PA it was very nice.  Sunny in the morning thru to the 1:00 pm start times when it turned overcast, but temps were comfortable in the 60's throughout most of the afternoon.  After all the concern about the weather, it wasn't really an issue.  I don't think we got as much rain as thought possible on Friday, so field conditions weren't as much of an issue as they might have been.  Messiah's grass field has been in really good shape, so it handled the rain fairly well even though I did notice occasional footing issues throughout the games.

Pacific Lutheran - Mary Hardin-Baylor was a barn burner as promised.  After a slow start, defenses became optional.  Pac Lutheran won 4-2

[Kuiper]

The Northwest Conference has represented itself. Right after the Pacific Lutheran 4-2 win, Willamette beats UW Platteville 3-1
