I am rooting for Lynchburg.  They are a strong team, and they don't get a lot of attention on the forum. (I know probably because of the Flo Sports paywall) (which, by the way, I took great pleasure in canceling yesterday)

Washington and Lee the better team, but score is 0-0.

My take from watching the three ODAC teams: Hampden Sydney is the weakest, W&L will be ok if they can score (and hopefully have their Centerback back), and Lynchburg is one tough team. I would think they could go far.

Thanks both of you!

What does this mean for the ncaa tournament? Can W&L breathe a little easier?

W&L win 2-0. They were the better team. Ricky Sanchez scored the 2nd goal on a 1 v 1 breakaway. Impressive.

Winning the ODAC might be tough, as W&L already lost to Lynchburg. On the other hand W&L is steadily improving, so who knows.

W&L 7-0 over Averett. I didn't watch the game, but saw that Bridgewater (up until last night at the top of ODAC standings) tied Averett 2-2. So presumably Averett not irredeemably weak.

So, W&L scored 3 goals, all in the run of play today. Granted, their opponent was pretty weak, but -- progress!

W&L is playing well but almost all their goals have come from set pieces. They cannot score in the run of play to save their lives! (OK, hyperbole, but only slightly off). They remind me a bit of the team from last year.

W&L v Roanoke -- W&L looks to be in good form, and the score reflects this. 2-0 at halftime. I don't know how strong Roanoke is, but W&L looks great.

W&L Mary Washington game is not behind a paywall. Less than 10 min in the score is 1-1.

W&L played really well -- great possession and passing -- but struggled to finish. They outshot Covenant by a wide margin, and the score really should have been 3-0. But a momentary lapse late in the game allowed a Covenant goal. Frustrating!

My take: they are playing better than they were a year ago, so that's good. The first year who scored, Sami Seife, looks like he has a lot of potential.  But they have to figure out how to finish, or I'm not optimistic about the season.

100% agree. They need goals and it isn't clear where they are coming from.

Quote from: SimpleCoach on August 31, 2025, 08:17:32 AMLike last year, I have my doubts about W&L.  Don't have an edge about them, and wasn't helped by their tie against Oglethorpe. 

I don't disagree. The only thing that gives me a bit of hope is that they looked worse at the start of last year.
