NCAA Tournament 2025

Dickinson 1 - Lynchburg 0 (15th minute)

Dickinson scores on a shot by Saul Iwowo on  a scramble in the box after a corner kick.  The corner kick was caused by a last minute deflection of another shot that was heading to goal as Dickinson starts to grow into the game.

Tufts reminds us once again that Messiah wasn't ever at a national contender level.  Soft opening weekend draw - regardless what one might think or argue based on opponents records. They should have seen a nescac caliber team opening weekend with that record.  Opened with a touch of luck - then got drug.

Cortland can thank the Augsburg keeper for the PK.  Dumbest thing Keepers do.... leads to a dumb decision...

SC.

For those who didn't see it, Augsburg was nursing a 2-1 lead and the GK decided to push a ball to the corner rather than controlling it.  Then a Cortland player hustled over and got his hip in front of it before the GK picked it up and then the GK compounded the error by pushing him down for the foul and a PK

I missed it, but decided to go back and watch after your post.

That was seriously dumb.

Is that something that others keepers do, because I have never seen that before?

Anyone following the Bowdoin-Conn game?

The handful of minutes I've seen has been advantage to Bowdoin.

Rooting for Cortland in PKs now.

Time wasting is one of the GK dark arts that they learn not from their youth coaches, but from watching professional games.  They will often milk a few seconds off a game by not picking up the ball until challenged, which theoretically helps preserve the lead and also delays the clock for holding the ball before distribution from starting.  A Colorado College GK did the same thing as the Augsburg player did during the regular season except he put his mitts on the ball before the attacker came over.  Problem is that he ran diagonally the other side of the box to get ready for the punt and he was called for the delay (indirect free kick) and Concordia TX scored to tie the game in the final seconds.

FINAL:  Augsburg 2 - Cortland 2 (Augsburg wins in PKs)

Augsburg's keeper makes up for his gaffe to allow the tying goal to score by saving the final PK to advance.

FINAL:  Dickinson 1 - Lynchburg 0

Tight game, but Dickinson defense proves that they are underrated and may be the strength of the team

[SierraFD3soccer]

Reasonably decent game, Lynchburg v. Dickinson. Dickinson was able to make a goal scored in the 1st half stand up. The rest of the game both teams could not finish. Tough way to go for Lynchburg and probably their best team in a long time. 19-2-2.

Dickinson rolls on at 16-0-7.

[Sandon Mibut]

Tangentially related it is awesome to see the schools that have video from an elevated POV that follows the play. The opening weekend games at Brandeis were hard to watch.

Definitely, just checked - Dickinson has not allowed a goal in 6 games. That includes 3 NCAA games and 2 CC tournament games. They tied McDaniel 1-1 back on Oct. 25. Lynchburg until this game had scored 66 goals (3 per game).

UPDATE:  Trinity 1 - Wash. U 0

Trinity's Alex Ramirez scores on a Samuel Theiss cross in the 31st minute that Wash U's keeper tips into the path of Ramirez for the shot.

Jayden Schell has been coming up big in the game thus far, making several good saves on dangerous Wash U sequences.

HALF:  Trinity 1 - Wash U. 0

Trinity controlled a lot of possession, but stats are fairly even
