Field looks fine. HC up 1-0. 1st half almost over. Stadium still stinks.

Deja vu all over again. Holy Cross up, 1-0, at the half on a goal by . . . Katie Quinn (again), from Jenna Barnes (again). This one will count - field in good shape, it appears.

Halftime, HC up 1-0. Unusual to see a player score her second "first time goal!"  |

Haven't I always said the Turnpike Trophy is a huge deal?! Uh, no. This "streak" will be a short-lived anomaly. The cards are stacked against Holy Cross. Now that Jesuit Provincial Cup idea makes a lot of sense. Provincial Cup Standings: FU 1-0 HC 0-0 GU 0-1 |

That was a skillful scoring play by Lafayette. But a sharpshooter named Oswald?

Yes. 1-1 now. Stadium working well now.

The HC defense looked disorganized on that goal.

Any chance of getting into the playoffs?

Any chance of getting into the playoffs? Yes. A significant chance. Win on Saturday and they are in. Tie and they have a pretty good chance. Lose and they have some chance, depending on other games. (With a HC loss, they basically would need two teams out of Lehigh, Colgate, and Lafayette to lose. Or both Lafayette and Colgate to not win.) |

Yes. A significant chance. Win on Saturday and they are in. Tie and they have a pretty good chance. Tie will also give Holy Cross a share of the NCAA record for most ties in a season. |

How can there be a tie in any elimination tournament ?

How can there be a tie in any elimination tournament ? There are often ties. Penalty kicks are never used to determine a winner in any tournament - including the World Cup. They only are used to determine who advances in situations where that determination has to be made. Any game that goes to PK's goes into the record books as a tie. |

Sounds like another silly procedure in that sport.
A tie that is not a tie

Sounds like another silly procedure in that sport. A tie that is not a tie Not silly at all. What is silly is penalty kicks - although a slight improvement on the coin toss that was used previously. Unfortunately soccer is too grueling and the scoring too infrequent to allow all games to be played until an overtime goal is scored. Fans, players, and officials realize that that PKs are done solely because one team has to advance. But it is not part of the game and has nothing to do with who actually won the game. That is why historically any match that goes to penalty kicks has always been categorized as a tie in the record books. |

We agree on one thing- that pks are worse.
The team whose season is over has to consider the game a loss, not a tie. No matter what the record says.

I recall that, at one time, if the game was tied at the end of regulation, the “W” went to the team that had more corner kicks. |

I learned recently that they don’t do PKs in high school championship games here in CT. If the two finalists are tied at the end of the two OT periods, they are declared co-champs.

I know that this rule has been around for a while now, and I don't like it at all. I would favor 2 10 minute golden goal (sudden death) overtime periods followed by penalty kicks as opposed to 2 regular overtimes and co-champions. Golden goal forces the teams to attack more. I happen to think that penalty kicks in championship soccer are absolutely thrilling. I wonder whether the high school governing bodies worry about making some kid the goat when I would prefer to give someone a chance to be the GOAT. One trait I tried to instill in my kids as athletes growing up was that they should be looking to be in the center at the big moments--at the plate with two outs and runners on, taking the shot coming out of the timeout with six seconds left, etc. We had some good moments (some walk off hits, a buzzer beater, some late goals in lax and hockey and a no time on the clock free throw) and at least one colossal failure (11 year old son misplayed an easy fly ball with two outs in the bottom of the sixth in a local league championship game) but I think learning to play under pressure gives kids great lessons. |
