my guess is that the other 3 teams spent around the same time traveling as Emory did driving - probably connecting through ATL or CLT

My 2 cents on Lynchburg based on their game vs UMW in September
-seems like the whole team is 5'10" to 6'
-very physical
-dangerous off of set pieces (only goal scored in contest was off a corner)
-defend very well
-midfield players are good a closing down and challenging for every 50/50
-were not very clinical, had many chances being up a man for 55 minutes but could not put quality shots on frame
-noticed that their leading scorer comes off the bench and only plays around 30 minutes per contest. He did not play in the UMW game

Quote from: Ron Boerger on November 10, 2025, 11:03:52 AMI believe the barrier thing is to keep people from getting in / watching without paying rather than actually physically separating attendees from the field.

from what I recall at Amherst they just had a rope like barrier around the field but there was no fencing or other barriers to prevent attendees from watching without paying

4 NESCAC teams in the top 10 for fouls.

Is this a new style for W&L? Are they strategically tactically fouling to disrupt attacks?

Quote from: Hopkins92 on October 30, 2025, 02:51:18 PMUnless something has changed, and I don't think it has, OT in college soccer (conf championships and NCAA playoffs) there is no golden or silver goal. Two 10 min periods are played. Still tied = PKs.

they changed back to Golden Goal in OT for NCAAs

Quote from: kansas hokie on October 29, 2025, 02:48:05 PMWednesday fun!!!

MHB / Trinity (#36 and #14)
Bridgewater / W&L (bubble teams)
Kenyon / Wooster (bubble team)
Mary Wash / CNU (best chance for MWU to get into bubble conversation...has to win this one)
North Central / Wheaton (IL) (top of conference, Wheaton on bubble)

UMW beat CNU 1-0 with a header off a corner in the 81st minute

Quote from: NEPAFAN on October 29, 2025, 09:11:38 AMI notice Messiah is going to finish with a winning record in the regular season. Have they found a groove?

they have found a groove in beating the weak teams of the MACC. Best win is 1-0 over NPI 121 Stevenson.

with regards to the Salisbury @ CNU matchup, based on the games played against UMW in the last week I would say that the Sea Gulls are the stronger squad. Lots of good young players on Salisbury that play a nice style.

for Mary Washington it is really clear the reason for the drop. They graduated 19 players that garnered 95% of the minutes. Only two returning starters (Macek & Amarose) and 2 other players that played measurable minutes (Hoskins, Valoyi). With just 6 seniors and 4 juniors on the roster it is a young squad.
