2014 D3 Season: National Perspective

[Saint of Old]

I was the first person to say that Amherst deserved the win u at SLU even though I bleed RED.
SLU are a possession team and had a 1 man advantage for 15 minutes on home turf and did not capitalize.

I do have to say though, the Lord Jeffs will never win a National Championship without changing their style of play.
Only good soccer playing teams make it to the final 4 with a  chance to win it all...
At this stage a team must be stringing passes together as well as having that extra something.
That extra something for Amherst is Defense.
They play amazing defense.
These boys just shut out a sick Brandies team and almost shut out SLU.
They must add variety flair and passing to the attack in order to win a championship.

Also:
I have only seen Kenyon play 25 minutes this year, but wow, they are good.

Wheaton is strong, and they are champions (85, 97) they will be a very tough out. Play beautiful soccer.
Oneonta is still undefeated.
The class of the NESCAC can bring pride to the conference still.


Prediction:
A former champion will win it all or it will be Kenyon.

No video for Trinity-Wheaton?  Sratch that.  Just after I hit "post" the video came up.

No video for Trinity-Wheaton?

I had audio, and now I just lost that :-(   Was really looking forward to this match.

[Flying Weasel]

Wow! Trinity goes up 1-0 two or so minutes in.

[FalconFan]

Now I have a video feed, and I missed a Trinity goal...

Absolute rocket from the top of the box

[PaulNewman]

These two teams are really talented/skilled.  Trinity off to the important strong start.  Sometimes I think Wheaton plays too fast and too open for their own good.  They overwhelmed and buried Wartburg with that style but will it work tonight?

[PaulNewman]

This makes me think Colorado College is pretty good.

Left back for Wheaton, Anthony (transfer from Ohio State). is a like a man playing with boys.

So your picking some team other than Oneonta, Tufts, Whitworth or CNU. Fair enough.

[dontshootthegoose]

Wheaton not looking like the team that ended Whitewater and Wartburg's seasons. Look like they are a little off tonight, maybe Trinity is just that talented.

Left back for Wheaton, Anthony (transfer from Ohio State). is a like a man playing with boys.

One of Trinity's "boys" is having a field day with Anthony.

[PaulNewman]

You must have a different feed than I do 

[wchandy22]

Actually, I wish I had a different feed. My feed locked up once Wheaton scored. Can some of you please log off so I can watch the 2nd half.

[PaulNewman]

Trinity needs a goal.  Wheaton all over them.  Thunder so similar to Messiah and OWU with all the clever set plays with 3 or 4 passes and almost score every time.  And they look as fast as Messiah but even bigger.

[FalconFan]

GOAL Wheaton, that had the feeling that it was just a matter of time.
