Nova looked like a different team in the second half and managed to get within 1 late, but the Hoyas pulled it out, 3-2. Phew.
Some regression in that second half, plenty to work on ahead of conference-deciding contests with Seton Hall and Xavier.
Meanwhile... hook it to my veins

3-0 at the half here at Campolo Field. TastyKakes for everyone!
Beautiful day on the Main Line, and it's a very nice turf field...but man, I am shocked at how small the stands are. They only go six rows up!

UMFK is not even NAIA, it’s in something called the USCAA, something I had not heard of until five minutes ago: / Other USCAA schools include various campuses in the Penn State system, for-profit colleges like Atlantis in Miami, and… the Culinary Institute of America? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_USCAA_institutionsAh, you're right! They left NAIA after the 2010-11 academic year.

And now for something totally different...
The Hoyas, you may recall, used their conference bye matchday to play Bowling Green, a program from the ever-feisty MAC that has made two consecutive NCAA tournaments. UConn, for their part, chose to use their bye day to play.... UMFK.
Now, you may be asking: what is UMFK? Don't worry, I didn't know either - and I know a whole lot of schools. It is the University of Maine at Fort Kent, an NAIA program whose other games this year include the University of New Brunswick, back-to-back games against the Bryant & Stratton College campuses at Syracuse and Rochester, and a road game at Mercer County Community College of West Windsor Township, NJ. This is a program that literally does not have recaps of their games... or, per their website, any assistant coaches.
All that, and the final score was only 2-1...and UMFK led at the half! What in the world has happened to the UConn soccer program.
Even more bizarrely, UConn isn't the only D-I program on the UMFK schedule. The Bengals thrashed St. Francis (PA) by a score of 5-1. And It's not like SFPA is a complete doormat - they're 4-5-2!

Likely to be more impactful though. Also, and not for nothing, presumably SUNO isn't running a nationwide chain of modern-day sweatshops. I think you are referring to the Southern University System in Baton Rouge, not Southern University-New Orleans, a school of just 2,300 students with recent accreditation problems.--AdminYes, sorry, good catch on that - I often conflated them in my mind, but the relationship is with Southern University and A&M College of Baton Rouge.

Well, it's not 7-0, but a road win is a road win. And 10 shutouts in a row is pretty impressive. Preserving that streak required a PK save from Cara Martin today.

Big 1-0 win over Providence. Aidan Rocha PK. Now on to Nova for 3 road points. I'll be there! Hoping the boys can put one (or more) in the net before, say, the 80th minute. Still too much nail-biting time for such an offensively talented team.

"The plan aims to promote “interconnected campus systems that together promote environmental, academic, social, and fiscal vitality” through the restructuring and construction of old and new spaces." Sounds like that came straight from the PR office. I guess "more square footage" isn't as popular. That said, why doesn't someone cut to the chase and raze Reiss? There's a lot more "interconnected campus systems" possible on that footprint which could support offices, classes or, and I'll go on a limb here, the kind of home for the SFS which is constrained in what is now a 40 year old ICC. Jamming another ill-fitted building on a tiny chunk of land still doesn't address Reiss' age and deferred maintenance. A new building at Reiss combined with a gutting of the ICC opens a lot more more doors than simply a Regents annex. Hah, you wish the Georgetown PR office was that good. That's clearly from one of the contracted firms (or, who knows, maybe from hoyatables ) As for Reiss... given its extremely central location, any construction there would have to be very carefully planned and executed. The biggest challenge with razing Reiss is that full teardowns are very environmentally unfriendly. Not impossible, of course, even on Georgetown's campus - see Kober-Cogan, for example. But there would have to be a huge benefit to just the cost. Taking the usable space of Reiss - to say nothing of ICC - offline would create a major space crunch, so the "ill-fitted building on a tiny chunk of land" is a necessary precondition for being able to absorb some of that demand and make a fundamental transformation of Reiss (teardown, internal gutting and retrofitting, expansion, etc.) feasible.

I'm sure there are Hoyas out there who can watch this without tears coming to their eyes... but I am not one of them
Also, it should go without saying, but: David Strathairn is an American treasure. Whatever laurels and stars exist in our cupboard of plaudits for actors, he deserves all of them and more. We owe him a great debt that he has committed himself so deeply to this role.
