Quote from: Hopkins92 on November 23, 2025, 07:07:17 PMThe board was pretty wonky and I couldn't post for a bit.

Emory stole that game in PKs. They were exhausted and Dickinson just couldn't seal the deal. Even in Pks, they made the first save and looked like they had momentum.

I don't want to go all NESCAC-level drama here, but the final PK winner from Emory went right over to the Dickinson bench to do the CR cellie... Extremely disrespectful and unnecessary and almost turned into a brawl. Just... why?

He was interviewed after the game and said, straight up, Dickinson was the better team on the day. Take your W and Final Four berth and move on.

I will say, Dickinson's bench is VERY vocal. When my boys were getting walked off the field in the CC finals, I am old enough to find the humor in the taunting, but... I can see why their yapping might lead to what Emory did at the end.

I saw what the final pk taker did after he score and I just couldn't believe it so rewind it. Sure enough he did right in front of the Dickinson's bench. He is very lucky he didn't get hit. Very unsportsmanlike in my opinion.

Quote from: Kuiper on November 22, 2025, 01:06:28 PMHALF:  Augsburg 0 - Cortland 0

Augsburg is pressuring and out-shooting Cortland 7-1, but Cortland is not breaking yet.  Ott, Cortland's GK, has three saves in the first half.

UPDATE:  Cortland 1 - Augsburg 0

Cortland scores on a breakaway down the left wing that is crossed in on the ground and shut one time with the left foot by Josh Carroll for the goal about 4 minutes into the second half.

Augsburg scored and then scored again to take the lead. 2-1 in St. Louis thanks to to Carver Tierney goals.

2-2 now on another Carroll goal in the 82nd minute

Cortland can thank the Augsburg keeper for the PK.  Dumbest thing Keepers do.... leads to a dumb decision...

SC.

I have know idea what the Augsburg keeper was thinking on that PK. It looked like he was trying to stall for time but forgot that he was running out of room. As a coach once asked a teammate of mind What were you thinking? Never mind because if you were thinking you would not have done it.

Quote from: Soccerlover on November 17, 2025, 11:30:35 AMAnother year without a trophy for Middlebury, what a disappointing team

They ended well given the start they had!

They got hosed by the ref on a clear goal on a corner and trip in the box by Wheaton GK.  2 PKs for Wheaton (both saved by Midd GK) - lots of home cooking.  I dont see Wheaton getting past sweet 16. 

Whether they got "hosed" or not, it still does not excuse the behavior post game. In case anyone missed it, the Middlebury player ran at a Wheaton player after the final whistle and ended up pushing the 4th official to the ground. The player was red carded.

A shocking and grotesque display of behavior and something I have only seen one other time at the Division 3 level (Umass Boston several years ago). I am surprised no one has commented on this!

Did not see the game but the actions of the Middlebury player running at a opposing player and then pushing the 4th official is uncalled for if it is true.  I understand that it is emotional game but character and how one conducts himself when one is face with adversity is more important than any game.

You're right but I don't care where you come from, playing in the snow is just tough. I have played in it several times and I don't wish it on anybody. Hats off to all the teams that advance and to those that did not good luck to all the seniors in their future endeavors. The memories and friends that you have made these past 4 years will last a lifetime.

Quote from: LetteroftheLaw on November 16, 2025, 04:19:55 PMSteady snowfall in Cortland, conditions favoring the home team as Catholic controlled the first half and these awful conditions should neutralize the contest. Should be an interesting second half.

I saw some that game. Just miserable conditions but such is the life in central NY this time of year. They played on football field and could barely see the football lines let alone the penalty box. Hats off to maintenance crew for trying to make the field reasonable to play.

Quote from: Sandon Mibut on November 15, 2025, 01:08:30 PMMidd's Casanova RC final 30 seconds

Does that mean Midd plays down a man tomorrow or simply Casanova cannot play?

Can't play. They play with 11.

It depends on the team. Some are consistent and they play their style no matter what. Some like to play that short passing game and play from the back even in bad weather. I saw a little bit of that Messiah/Hobart game yesterday and from what I saw that was not your typical Messiah team you would see in the past of playing from the back, short passing/posession style game that I have watched in previous years. Hobart also plays that style. Some teams might not have the players to do that. There is a saying that let the ball do the work. The ball doesn't sweat.

Quote from: Bartman on November 12, 2025, 04:00:49 PMShawn deserves the spotlight as William Smith under AA Wilbur has been very successful and when you think about soccer at HWS, the Herons are first of mind(Championship in 2013). Messiah and likely Calvin will be challenging. It must have been cool in 1999 when SLU won it all, I can understand the frustration with the results recently.

We are living vicariously through the Statesmen with former SLU great Rob Brandell on the sidelines as the assistant coach.

It's the only thing we have going for us. 

Quote from: Saint of Old on November 12, 2025, 12:43:23 PMHats off to Hobart indeed.
Year after year they are a very competitive program.
Would be amazing to see them climb that mountain for the league.

Secretly, I was hoping to see Vassar win so the league could have their 2nd team make the dance, but Vassar will be back strong next season I'm sure.
I was too as I was hoping that the league will get two in then.  Hats off to Hobart as they have no losses going into the tournament. congrats to all the players who made all league.   

I don't think that got a good draw though.  Although Messiah has beendown this year their reputation precedes itself and then they may have to take on Calvin.  They were placed in the Tufts region.  I am hoping they do well and wish them luck.  They have a nice team.

Congrats to Hobart to a great season and best of luck to them in the tournament. Hope they make the Liberty League proud.  Hats off to Vassar and the seniors as they had a great season.  Good luck to them in their future endeavors.

It would have been interested to see if the league would have gotten 2 in if Vassar won.  Hobart won the leaggue during the season and it would have been interested if the tournament took that into consideration.  The same could have been true last year if SLU won on PKs as Vassar won the league during the reg season.  I am curious on if and where they seed Amherst.  Lost in the quarters again.

Quote from: stlawus on November 04, 2025, 03:27:30 PMWith today's result, SLU achieves their first 10 loss season since 1991.  In the 63 year history of the program, there had been only 4 double digit loss seasons until this year. But I'm sure I'll watch the next SC vid and hear all about how dramatic I'm being.

That 1991 team went 3-1 in the first 4 games and then the wheels fell off so to speak. Like I have said before, Tosh needs to hit the recruiting trail hard.  I was told that Tosh was orchestra recruitier of the those great teams in the late 90's and early 2000's but I find that hard to believe since Durocher had some very good recruiting class 2009-2015.  Hats off to Vassar and Coach Hood.  Best of luck to them in the semis.

Whoever told you that the current Coach recruited the late 90s and 00s stars  was either mistaken or misinformed.

I think I read that some where that Tosh was a big influencer but I really think it was more Durocher. Durocher could sell ice to Eskimos and make them believe they really need it
