ODAC

W&L 7-0 over Averett. I didn't watch the game, but saw that Bridgewater (up until last night at the top of ODAC standings) tied Averett 2-2. So presumably Averett not irredeemably weak.

No. Averett is really bad. That was just one of those games that happens in soccer. Bridgewater had 24 shots to Averett's 4, Averett put all 4 on goal and 2 went in. Bridgewater had 8 on goal, but only put 2 past the keeper.

Bridgewater, however, is not as good as their record either. They just hadn't really played anyone until the Va Wes, H-SC, W&L trio to finish the ODAC season. They lost to Va Wes, we will see how they do against the Squids and Generals.

So far, Bridgewater's toughest game was a 3-0 loss away to Mary Washington. Otherwise, the schedule is a pile of cupcakes since Roanoke fell on their face this season. The unbalanced schedule means they don't even get Lynchburg unless they get them in the ODAC tournament.

The W&L v. Lynchburg game is big on Saturday. Should be a good one.

Yes. I would checking in on the game this weekend around kids activities but... well, FloSports is bullsh!t and the ODAC is full of morons who want to screw the few people who care about their athletic teams.

Ooph.. Not a pretty game to watch.

Big night tonight for the ODAC to determine conference championship seeding. And that Bridgewater W&L game is significant as both are near the at large bubble and above the QWB cutoff. A win for either side could make a difference for an at large bid.

A Bridgewater win would be HUGE for that program...they are usually nowhere near an at-large bubble position. Only had 2 winning seasons in the ODAC since 2014.

Tonight will be interesting. I really did not expect Bridgewater to get a win against H-SC. That's probably their best win of the season. Either that or St. Mary's. I think W&L is more talented, but when you can't score, every game is a toss up. I hope W&L knows how much they need this one and that they aren't in a position this season where they walk over ODAC teams.

W&L up 1-0 at the half. Stats favor the Generals, 6-2 in shots, 2-1 on goal, 5-0 on corners. No idea what it's actually like because, well, money-grubbing morons.

2-0 Generals just under 70 minutes in. From the stats it seemed to come against the run of play. Bridgewater had caught up on shots at least.
