CWRu men win again.

Yep, PK and two set piece goals. Probably the toughest team they've played all season, but very workmanlike, just took care of business. The thing I like is that there is not much drop off when the subs come in.

Another CWRU win over Allegheny today, but I really don't think they have been tested yet.

Another CWRU win over Allegheny today, but I really don't think they have been tested yet.

The Allegheny game was interesting...a tale of two halves for sure. Completely dominant in first half, could easily have been 5-0.

The Allegheny goal was a crazy own goal- Case GK came out to clear a ball near the 35 yard line, smashed it into the attackers face and the ball ricocheted all the way back towards the goal. Case defender came in at last minute to clear the ball off the line but kicked it into the net instead. 3-1 at half.

Second half, Allegheny controlled throughout but couldn't score. Their GK made a couple of nice saves and their striker was a beast, narrowly missing a couple of shots. Case looked gassed even though they were subbing frequently. Just couldn't get it together in that second half, luckily it didn't hurt them.

Kenyon up next- will be their toughest game to date.

OK, you sort of piqued my interest, so I went to Kenyon's athletic website and looked up their men's soccer team.  They seem to be doing well so far.  So yeah, this may be our toughest test thus far.

I just discovered something that I hadn't realized.  I was used to calling Kenyon's teams the "Lords" or "Ladies."

I had no idea that they were now the "Owls" until literally just today.  Interesting!

I am assuming that you live somewhere in NE Ohio, right?  Which D3 sports program is your favorite, and are you an alum of that particular school?

Kenyon changed it a few years back to the Owls.... much to the consternation of many alums.  They are a Top 25 team and will be the first real challenge Case faces.  If this is a serious year for Case, they will need to show it against the Lords.

SC.

I am pretty familiar with Kenyon as it was one of my son's favorites during the recruiting process. While visiting colleges two summers ago, he was offered by Kenyon, but they didn't have what he wanted to study so he ended up at Case.

I am not from Ohio, but we recently moved to the Columbus area so we could see him play. Fortunately, we've been able to go to every game so far, home and away. Unfortunately my son has been injured the entire time so hasn't played yet- this weekend was big for him because he really liked Coach Wall at Kenyon. Hopefully he's cleared to play and will get a chance this weekend. It'll be a tough game for sure.
