NESCAC

[Hotskull]

My prediction was correct, to an extent. Didn't expect middlebury to come out and score 2 but that's just the way the game goes sometimes.

Credit to #5 for an incredible header, however, it is completely discredited as he talked endless smack (hand to the ear when he scored) only to have 3 goals dropped on his head and go home a loser.

Also, all my points about Middlebury being a bunch of Tik Tok soccer players were proven today. No signs of any weight room activity, just whining, kicking ankles to get 5 yellow cards and endless trash talk.. and what do you have it? It was all just to lose.

Colin Dugan #10 - WHAT A NIGHTMARE. Toting a fake gun as your name is called during the walkout while your socks are at the same height as your shorts is probably the funniest thing I have seen in a while. NESCAC Fan must be in shambles right now. Then, to make things worse for the young "gangster" from Avon Old Farms ($80k a year), waved bye to the Tufts players and fans as they went up 2-0. Enjoy the bus ride home young man and maybe think about your choices.

I can't say the game plan from Tufts was the correct one but it is easy for me to judge as a fan. They didn't press middlebury and let them play into the game. When they went down 2-0, they started to take the game to Midd, and to no surprise scored 3 goals in very quick time.

Incredible finish from Ethan Jett as well as goal from Henry Perkins that Jett himself set up. Then, to see the center back Ben Brown score the winner.. absolute scenes. That brick ball will be an All American next year, if not this year.

Conn College have come out hot as expected and are playing some beautiful soccer. I expect the game tomorrow vs Tufts to be an incredible one but the JUMBOS WILL COME OUT ON TOP!

Middlebury is gonna have as many cards in this game as Tufts has on the season. Sheesh

Very one sided game from the ref on the cards.  clearly tilted towards Tufts.  half of Midd cards were not card worthy.

Dez is one of the best in making adjustments to game plans!

 Midd was very reckless. How can you blame Refs for that?

Other commenter noted Midd's trash talking and the parts of the game I was able to watch they were playing like chumps.

Midd leads the NESCAC in YC and RC so I guess they've had bad refs all 16 games. More cards than goals this year.

Panthers will learn and grow. More games to be played. On to the NCAA Tournament.

Best of luck to Tufts and Conn tomorrow. I'll be cheering for the former Panther, Kyle Dezotell.

Mid have really turned around a poor start to the season, you guys are on the right path.

It wasn't the strongest weekend for the goalkeepers, with several goals conceded that weren't outright errors but still felt preventable. The one standout, as always, was the ever-reliable TJ Krongard, who maintained his consistency in goal. To be fair I think the wind had a big factor to play.

Mid vs tufts: thought the second goal the Mid goalie was out of position but wouldn't describe it as an error. Once the second goal went in all the momentum swung and for mid it was just if they could hold on and make it to pens...they could not.


Conn showing typical post season form as they try to hold onto the title having their 4th NESCAC final appearance in 5 years. Hopefully they retain but face tough completion against tufts.
 
Thought the game was fairly one sided and could should have been up 3 or 4 but the winning goal ended up being an unfortunate slip by the Wes goalie falling in the net with the ball.

Tufts vs Conn is a rematch of the 2021 NESCAC final and hopefully the result is opposite of what happened last time. If not hopefully the season ends the same as last time..
