Ahhh, another Lasso fan! I've become addicted to that show and highly recommend it to all. The characters are great like in "Curb" or "Seinfeld" but they are 180 degrees in the kindness department.

And not bad in the world we are forced to live in if Tony Blair is right about today’s leadership We need to have a sense of humor to fight depression as a result of Covid and global events

Ted Lasso is a very good show. Just have to find ways to watch it without my younger children as there are 1-2 pretty crude references in each show. Other than that, outstanding.

Humiliated today in 4-0 loss at Brown Total shots: 34-14 Shots on goal: 14-1 ADMB’s mantra of pursuing excellence is something I’m not buying as fall sports off to the usual underwhelming start

You get what you pay for. In 2019, HC's spending on women's soccer was second lowest in the PL; AU was lower. Colgate, for example, spent 54 percent more than HC did on women's soccer.

I was shooting yesterday for Vermont and they had a women's soccer forward that didn't even get into a game at Holy Cross who was clearly their best player.

Things getting tougher for our ladies - Fairfield scored 6 goals on 8 shots on goal and shut out HC 6-0 tonight - looks like another rebuilding year

We never really seem to get to the rebuilding part in many of these sports. Just a constant cycle of weathering the storms and then picking up debris.

I’d have to look it up but thought I recall Fairfield is pretty good at soccer so the lopsided loss may not be quite as bad as we’d think.

We're 0-5 and have been outscored 17-3 so far - a comment like yours is the problem with HC minor sports - people in the athletic dept might think the same and that's scary

haze:
1. I was speaking specifically about one opponent, Fairfield 2. Trust me, HC athletics staff don't listen to anything that I say
As for the Stags, I just looked it up. With their win over the Crusaders, they are 3-2. Their losses were 4-0 to Northeastern and 1-0 to Harvard. They shut out LIU 2-0 and the one common opponent was UMass-Lowell. While we lost 2-0, Fairfield beat them 4-3. Based on that and the overall record, I wouldn't have expected us to win but, yes, a closer loss would have been more understandable.
Fairfield's version of how the game went (not pretty):

When it’s a mid-level MAAC team, it’s something worse than that.

Thank you HC 13. I got a chuckle when I discovered the name of the sports teams at Montpelier High School, which is the State Capital, is the "Solons."

Close to a huge upset today as our ladies led BC 3-1 with less than 20 minutes left but I guess BC (6-1-1 and full scholarship ACC team) got a wakeup call and scored 4 times in the final 20 minutes - that's almost unheard of in soccer ! We're now 1-7 on the season. Somehow we have a H.S. All- American on our team as a transfer from Univ of Tennessee, Colleen McIlvenna - she tied a school record today assisting on all three goals - too bad she can't do it alone but she gave it a shot today.

Women’s soccer managed only 2 shots on goal in 2-1 loss today at Lehigh - tough season continues - now 1-9-1 (0-2-1 PL)
