NCAA Tournament 2025

[Kuiper]

Another Emory shot in a 1 v.1 that sailed over the goal.  They've given Trinity life several times.

On to OT!

Theiss scores the golden goal!  Trinity wins 1-0

[Kuiper]

Emory deserves a lot of credit.  They were outstanding and Halpern was phenomenal despite conceding the goal from what seems like an impossible angle.

Ultimately, Emory's lack of quality in front of the net and its lack of depth/subs to allow them to continue pressing as effectively as in the first half allowed Trinity to stay in the game and creep into control.  The pass from Ramirez to Mayfield and from Mayfield to Theiss to spring that goal was class and the finish was what you expect from a kid who scored as often as he did this year.

Ref very heavy-handed against Tufts

Ref has been fine.

I didn't watch the entire game, so I can't reasonably comment on overall quality, but this astounds me:

7 cards on Tufts? They had 21 all season.

St Olaf's had 3 cards, so it's not like the official was card happy with all. Seems like Tufts partisans have a point.

As a Tufts partisan here's what I'll say. 5-6 of the cards were merited with one blatantly bad call. I think the bigger problem the jumbos had with the referee was a lack of consistency in what constituted a card. If both teams were held to the same standard, it probably would have finished with 5-6 cards each.

Inconsistency was the problem which I'm sure is why Dezotell got carded.

Call em or don't; just keep it even.

Congrats to St Olaf. Sounds like they'll have a lot of players returning next year.

Let's go Tufts

Golden goal was brutal way to end the game. Especially rough on the keeper. Obv. he should have done better. Feet definitely should have been set better.

Crazy tough position and one mistake gets magnified despite Emory's lack of success in front of goal. That'll everyone will remember. Keeper is a junior and only allowed .66 goals per game with only allowing 13 goals all season. Like I said, brutal way to end their season

No. Dezotell did that as a matter of principle. He can't tell the team they haven't given their all if he isn't booked
