NESCAC

Just saw the Amherst box score... I didn't realize Amherst men's soccer was offering UFC courses this season. At what point does Amherst Athletics step in and ask some serious questions? The red cards, the continued drama, the lack of discipline, this is becoming a pattern. If I were an Amherst alum, I'd be furious. Maybe it's time to dial it down a notch and work on some passing patterns instead of taking shots at the opposition. I didn't see the red myself, though - can someone explain what happened?!

The cheap shots have been going on for years ....

Middlebury looked really good. I am looking forward to the match-up against Williams.

Respectfully disagreeing with Simple Coach's prediction here though as an objective observer, I'll admit to having a slight (actually strong) bias toward the quality and composure of the defending national champions.

Sometime, this blind squirrel finds an acorn...

Where have you been? They offer enough UFC courses to earn a major in it. Been in the catalog a long time...

I thought the Panthers looked great yesterday, until they went into their prevent defense and packed it in. Before that, they won 75% of the play with crisp one and two touch passing. They had Tufts chasing them around. Once they loaded the box they gave up that whole-field advantage and the Jumbos were able to find their rhythm. Still, a great win for the Panthers and an exhibit as to how well they can play. Tuesday night against Wesleyan will be another good test.

Just catching up on the wild NESCAC weekend, that is a lotta draws! Saw the end of Bates v Conn, that got exciting. Pathways to the NESCAC tournament are starting to narrow for a few teams, but still enough games to play that nearly anything can happen, next weekend will be a big test for sure.

Williams 7-1-4 (sweet 16)
Wesleyan 7-2-2 (2nd round)
Bowdoin 7-2-2 (elite 8)
