Trying to find it on championships pass, and only see the semis there?

Trinity 1 - Tufts 0 (27th minute)

Luke Chandler scores off a rebound in the box after Antic makes a good save on a Theiss cross and Urquidi shot, but leaves the ball in a dangerous spot. 

Tufts concedes another first goal

Quite different styles from these two teams. First time watching Trinity this year and they look fantastic.

Henry Brown shown a yellow card that was coming for a long time.  Possibly a persistent infringement situation since he set the tone early with some deliberate fouls.

VAR for possible handball on Trinity in the box on a free kick.  Not called on the field.

UPDATE:  No penalty

Tufts should try stringing more than a couple of passes together in the second half.

HALF: Trinity 1 - Tufts 0

Trinity out-shooting Tufts 8-2 (3-0 in SOG)

Both teams using a decent amount of subs.  That's not inconsistent with their normal approach, but both teams probably have players with heavy legs after their semifinal matches.

Not really sure how this Tufts team is in the final, the level of play couldn't be farther apart

Probably should be careful rather than carefree with your remarks.  Tufts has been down 1-0 in the past and rallied for wins in several games this NCAA tournament.  Schell has been aggressive off his line and in free kicks, but he's been playing with fire on those.  That's how Tufts can beat you.

That physical, more direct style has reaped rewards year after year in D-3, as evidenced by the NESCAC's dominance. Personally, I prefer the more technical style of Trinity, but you simply can't argue with that style's success.

Having said that, I certainly agree with you on the level of quality in the first half.

Flurry of chances in the second half for both teams.  Tufts pressing hard.

[Kuiper]

Getting testy.  Gunn pushes Knutson and Lopez steps in to defend his teammate.  Both get yellows
