Williams may be 2-0 but the program has major issues. Reports coach cut a few young men going into senior season (- in D3 ).  A 3 year starter "retired' because of this and the culture that has been created; the best freshman attempted to transfer and is sitting out the year to preserve a year of eligibility. Multiple other freshman looked to transfer. Will be interesting if this trend continues, or he just gets the players he wants and continues his success. Sort of like the Dion Sanders of D3 soccer.

Williams with solid D and  Boardman having another  great season  Unfortunately with the injuries they've had and him back on D they are very weak in the midfield. Freshman are freshmen. They play the perimeter, a lot of long balls, have no real play making in the middle of the field and have scored very few goals as of late.  Word is they have some playmakers on the reserve team including a Sullivan recruit from England but have not heard much more.  And 8 ties? Boring.   D3 needs to go back to OT.

Because of Covid this was a unique and challenging year for all of the schools. Any coach  had to deal with players who took time off, returned and thus were not lost to graduation, as well as three groups of recruits: High school class of 2020 who had taken a year off before enrolling in college ( probably offered their spot in the fall of "19) : Class of 2021, normal entering freshman: and those recruits who by late summer 2021 may have already been pretty far down the road to committing,  or had even  been offered a spot ( pending admission to the school). Will be difficult to follow what happened to the last group as admissions had not been formally offered - but withdrawing an offer in the late summer / early fall could have led these kids with limited options.  Those recruits in high school classes of '20 and '21 had likely been offered their spots in the fall of their senior years, applied early decision and withdrew applications from all other schools. I'm sure any coach,  program or school with character would honor their commitment to any player recruited and admitted though this process.  This may be a situation some of the schools are still working though - although It seems most of the NESCAC and Ivy schools found a way to handle it appropriately, as evidenced by their expanded rosters ( examples Bates 36, Cornell 36 ).
