Re: Medical Waiver, although my son never took them, he qualified 2x so I know a bit about them. The NCAA actually uses 21 games as the denominator, so the fact Quinn only played 7 his Jr year would allow him to retain eligibility for 1 additional year.

Who gave Stevenson a 1st place vote? I'm guessing York hates Messiah and refused to vote for them?

Daniel Villagomez, James Webb, and Trace Binyon all followed Coach Bankhead to Dallas Baptist University...

With it being August 1st, thought I'd throw this out there again to see if there's continued interest in a weekly pool this season...

MSU to Vassar is less than 90 minutes. It takes longer for them to drive down to Rowan, Rutgers-Camden and Stockton.

I turned the game on in the 68th minute with England up 1-0. I hardly saw them touch the ball for the next 15 minutes and said aloud "this isn't going to end well for them".

I was coaching a u12 team in a tournament several years ago and my player scored a goal after the ball had clearly crossed the end line but went unnoticed by the ref.  We'd always taught our kids to "play until you hear the whistle" so that's what my player did. But I saw it go out, the opposing coach saw it go out (and lost his **** when play continued), the parents saw it go out (and lost their **** when play continued), and the defense saw it go out (and stopped defending). 

I couldn't in good conscience accept this as a good goal and told the ref I agreed with the opposing coach and defense and that it should be a goal kick instead of a goal. He agreed to waive the goal off. My goal scorer burst into tears (sigh).

I don't expect the USA to sit Balogun, but I would love if they did and publicly announced it was because they had integrity and respected the game.

Side bar: how does a u17 and u20 YNT player not see the field at a historically weak D1 program? HC hasn't had a winning season since 2008 and finished below .400 in each of the last 4 years. Edit: Did play 14 games and started twice freshmen year. Maybe was hurt So. year?

I've been arguing that for years, but IFAB won't listen to me.

Good to see your commentary Falconer.  I'm excited to see if Messiah can bring their swagger back - it sure looks like they have lots of incoming talent.

As an Evangelical institution, AP has a limited pool of interested, quality soccer players to recruit and will be fighting an uphill battle against currently strong institutions of the same ilk.

Grove City and Geneva are off this schedule this year, but fellow Pennsylvania school Gettysburg travels to EMU.  They also leave off John Jay, Mary Baldwin, and Johnson & Wales (NC) and add Salisbury, St. Mary's College of Maryland, VMI (DI).

That's a massive upgrade for EMU, a team that hasn't been above .500 since 2017.

Hanover College, alma mater of Woody Harrelson - hence the reason the fictional Woody Boyd was from Hanover, IN.

Not a coaching change, but AD change. Christa Racine moves from Drew University to Haverford College. This is interesting as Racine was a HS All-American right around the corner from Drew and had been at the University for over 30, with two daughters even playing soccer at the school. I wonder what pushed her to the Main Line?

She replaces Danielle Lynch, who moved to Pomona-Pitzer in California, which is also interesting because Lynch was native to NJ as well.
