I haven't looked at VCU's OOC home schedule, but I'll guarantee you it is markedly better than ours.

Actually, it's pretty comparable to ours.
St. Mary’s (Md)
Bellarmine
Merrimack
Loyola (Md)
Elizabeth City State
Georgia Southern
William & Mary

Alonzo was fouled on the play that led to Mercer's goal. No question! He was sandwiched between 2 Mercer players, one of whom hit him with a shoulder and flattened him. I've looked at the replay half a dozen times. Neither of the Mercer guys touched the ball (that was Alonzo's foot striking the bal...

The days of playing Power 6 schools outside a tournament are over and will never return. The ACC, with 19 members, now requires each team to play 20 conference games. Those teams also play early season tournaments, plus a holiday tournament, plus the ACC-Big 10 Challenge games, plus the conference t...

DK with the PK. Cats for the win, 2-1.

Yes, that ESPN+ production is weak. Poor work on the cameras and the microphones. Really sloppy, especially with having replayed audio looping back into the live audio. The coverage at the beginning of the third quarter was particularly bad. Room for improvement. Game day experience was good. Moore...

Now 0-2-4 against a relatively mediocre non-con schedule. We have scored 3 goals in our 6 matches. Up next, Mercer on Tuesday.

Trailing 2-0 at halftime. Neither keeper has made a save.

Now 3-0 after 9 minutes of the 2nd half. Cats being dominated by UNC Asheville (15 internationals).

Except against Charlotte, we were competitive in all of our matches (I did not see any of the exhibitions). I agree Babst is doing well with what he has. I love our current team, and DK will go down as a Davidson soccer all-time great, but I'm not convinced that what he has is the best we can get. T...

Our man made it to the NYTimes Connections puzzle today.

Saw that, and that was the first of the four combinations that I solved. NBA Legend, indeed.

I just tuned in to ESPN+ in time to see our last TD. Appears to be a surprisingly sparse crowd. I realize most of the Catawba fans have bailed due to the blowout, but still...

Final. We had our chances to win in the last 20 minutes. Cats are now 0-1-3 on the season.

Davidson's own announcer never pronounced Denis Krioutchenkov's name correctly. He kept saying Kroo' chin-kov.

G just scored 2 goals in 4 minutes, now 2-2 with 20 minutes left. 2nd goal was due to a terrible pass that was intercepted by G in the box.

Cats up 2-0 at halftime. Goals on a PK by Krioutchenkov and a gorgeous header by Blake Peterson after some really nice ball movement in the box. Cats are better than the Spartans.

I would assume that the college will employ a fleet of golf carts with student drivers to shuttle the infirm from Baker to the football stadium. Parking at the Brickhouse might be an option, as well.
