Mr.Rights Thoughts

It looked to me like the Wheaton keeper had two hands on the ball on the ground.  Is there a specific rule about when that ball is "dead".

as long as he has a hand on it, it is considered in his possession

[Mr.Right]

Tufts go up 1-0 and had a chance for 2-0. OWU is whacking everything

[KnightFalcon]

Speaking of hands - looked like that was a handball on the tufts goal

Tufts definitely looks ready to play - clearly no letdown from the 2 week delay. o
OWU struggling with Tufts pace and pressure

This 2014 OWU side might be the worst Final 4 team in a while

[oldonionbag]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves! Tufts really should have gotten at least one more during that opening spell. Can't let a team hang around. OWU looks a lot more comfortable now...

[Mr.Right]

I didnt say OWU might not tie it up but they just do not look like a Final 4 team and cannot string 3 passes together. They were going into the wind so maybe this all turns around but right now they do not belong

[Mr.Right]

I will reiterate OWU is the worst Final 4 team in years. This team looks very average

[Mr.Right]

If I was Shapiro I would push for a 3rd and start resting starters

[Mr.Right]

Tufts emptying the bench so deep that some players are playing that usually do not even play in Nescac games.

[oldonionbag]

I think this puts a pretty decent stamp on which is the best d3 conference in the country...

Congrats to Tufts.  And I think this answers all of the haters on NESCAC, forever.  I mean, heck, Tufts is no better than the fourth, maybe fifth, best program, historically, in NESCAC (Williams, Midd, Amherst, and then Bowdoin/Tufts) and they will be playing for a national title tomorrow, and they earned that right in convincing fashion. 

[nescac1]

On another note, Mr. Right, any recruits coming into NESCAC (so far) next fall who are expected to make a major impact??  Any inside info on the Williams coaching search?

[Corazon]

Congrats to the Jumbos!  What a fantastic run.

[Corazon]

I'm curious about next year's recruits as well.  Unfortunately, the NESCAC doesn't do press releases announcing the recruits, so it is very difficult to predict.

I will say, with Tufts potentially being a national champion and the resurgent Bates and Colby programs recruiting better, there are literally no easy games left in the NESCAC.  Can't wait for next year.

[KnightFalcon]

Tufts is playing with SOOO much confidence right now. With that defense, they know one goal is all they need. I give them the edge over Wheaton now just with that defense.
