So what did Rupp get red carded for?
A yellow and a red within 10 minutes of one another by the way.

So what did Rupp get red carded for? A yellow and a red within 10 minutes of one another by the way. Was an accumulation of two yellows, not a straight red. Both were borderline cards for careless, possibly reckless,challenges. He wouldn't have received two yellows from most refs - unless he had committed a number of other fouls as well. Didn't see nearly enough of the game to judge that. Box score should indicate that it was two yellows, but it doesn't. |

Yeah, a lot of times the first card is for "persistent infringement", not the worst decision if the fouls and the severity seem to be escalating But you should really have to earn the second yellow. On the other hand, some players will go out of their way to dare the referee to give them that second one!

The second yellow card I thought was soft. He was looking up at a ball coming to him and watching the ball in the air when he went up to head it, he made contact with the Brown player. It was reckless but I thought it was more of a warning type situation.
The major call that cost Holy Cross the game was a Brown player trapped the ball with his chest against the ground and clearly handled the ball in the box and the ref did NOT give Holy Cross their second penalty of the game.
Brown is historically one of the stronger programs in New England and Holy Cross was right there with them throughout the match. Interesting enough both goalies left the game with injuries.
