NCAA Tournament 2025

Rowan v. Wesleyan

Best announcer ever, truly. Despite the autumn sniffles. Minimalist with tone going up only during goals.

As to Rowans goals, Wes keeper having hardest day ever. Really tough. First was a head ball back to him where he just fumbled it in front of goal. Goal area looked a bit wet a little muddy. Second, the ball skidded out of hands.

Question, NCAAs,biggest platform, yeah windy, but does Wes own a leaf blower??? I think that definitely affected play.

Strong performance by Rowan

Strongest of the season by far and what a time to do it.  A lot of determination and great defending in the second half to hold the lead. Something that has haunted Rowan the past 2 years to be honest.  Schlotterbeck had a game and hope he is OK after leaving on a hard tackle.

Fair play to Wesleyan on a good game and an exceptional season.  The weather obviously affected the game, but both teams left it on the leaf covered field.

Do any prognosticators have ideas about sectional hosts next weekend? Wondering if Rowan might head south so maybe I can watch in person.  Looking at you Hampden Sydney...Or maybe we find out tonight?

It is bright, sunny and quite windy on most of the mid-atlantic region today.

Looking at the feed out of Carlisle, you'd think there was an impending monsoon. Somebody hit a weird button and the filter makes it look gloomy. Hard to see, frankly.

Anyways, 1-0 Dickinson midway through the first half.

Looks like some dystopian nightmare movie.... Book of Eli like....  although the brown grass isn't helping anyone....

They fixed it.

Steady snowfall in Cortland, conditions favoring the home team as Catholic controlled the first half and these awful conditions should neutralize the contest. Should be an interesting second half.

Tufts vs. Brandeis now live, with the winner punching their ticket to the S16 vs. Messiah. Will we finally get the Tufts-Messiah match-up we've been waiting for?

Feels like yesterday when tufts beat messiah to win their first national championship. That was one of the best messiah teams I recall watching too..

Big weekend for the Camels with two hard-earned wins.

vs. St. Joseph's:
They gave everything they had, a hardworking side that frustrated Conn throughout the first half.Second got away from them a bit.

vs. Babson:
A very chippy team that likes to talk and goes to ground even more. This ultimately hurt them, giving away two needless penalties. The second came when their center back decided to slide into a player in the box who wasn't even going to reach the ball. The rain and some good good goalkeeping from babson made it a tight game but #7 Marco Perugini was the big separator between the two sides.

It hasn't been a great year for NESCAC teams in the playoffs, with likely only one—maybe two will be able to make a Final Four appearance. But the Messiah–Tufts–Conn–Bowdoin bracket will be a must watch.

Dickinson's second goal at about minute 22 in the 2nd half is an absolute golazo. Go find it before the feed ends.

26-28 yard out shot, curling away from the goalie into the top right corner.

Wow.

Wow.

Very, very, very nice. They've had several quality goals this year like that.

Lynchburg v. CNU

Card fest to include a red for CNU's asst. couch. 5-4 in CNU's favor. Lynchburg is playing well with the 2-1 lead.

[LetteroftheLaw]

Cortland advances to the sweet 16. Catholic opened the scoring early in the second half and then Cortland immediately responded with a goal of their own. Catholic had the better of the play in the second half but despite that they had a horrible sequence and poor defending that ultimately did them in and Cortland capitalized. Tough way to go given how the game went but this time of year it's small lapses that will cost you. Congrats to the red dragons.

Well – 25% of the teams left are NASCAC teams so I would still say that's pretty good. As far as the number of teams in the final four,It seems a bit set up that way with Bowdoin Tufts and Conn Fightingfor one spot

@Camosfan, congrats for Tufts advancing.

You omitted Bowdoin from your list.  Was that intentional? 

Given recent history, it is surprising to see Amherst and Midd out so early. 

Will be fun to watch Tufts/Messiah and Bowdoin/Conn.

I saw some that game. Just miserable conditions but such is the life in central NY this time of year. They played on football field and could barely see the football lines let alone the penalty box. Hats off to maintenance crew for trying to make the field reasonable to play.

Sorry my friend, that was not intentional, congrats, nice team!
