Brown 9, UMass 8

We win! It was a close match all the way through, although the Bears seemed in control for the majority of the time. I only got to listen, so I didn't see what was going on but I gathered some important stats and info from the broadcast. The biggest key to this game from what I could tell was possession. While I still think we could execute more quickly, the guys were smart with the ball and changed up the speed with some stalling and some quick 1v1s.

The Bears were in the lead for most of the game and were tied at 6 in the third quarter. The Minutemen, who lost to Albany last week but beat Harvard, who beat Duke, now have their second loss in a row. And the Bears? They have their third WIN in a row and they move on to 4-1 for the season. This is big. Because I say so. And I think they would all agree with me.

Unfortunately for those listening to the radio broadcast, Reade has an awesome game which meant lots and lots of SEALigman comments (refer to previous post) but he was certainly a threat on the field today. We got some good face off possessions, we fired some good shots and ultimately, we scored more than they did...which is all that matters in the end.

As for the goalie duel. Jordan won...he ended with 20 saves and Doc ended with 14 I think. You should probably double check those stats, but that's what I gather. I think this is the last game I won't physically see which is good for me and this blog. K See Ya.
