Watched about 40 minutes of the Cal-Colgate ladies' game the other weekend. Couldn't see the field or players for a good 10 minutes during the blizzard...just blurs on the TV. Actually couldn't tell it was a ladies game until it got clear enough. :lol:

It was rather entertaining...the ladies were slipping and sliding...clearly, there were problems with the footing. The ladies were all helping clear the 8-meter arc and other lines whenever there was a need. I though for sure they were going to stop the game until the squall passed, but they played on.

Reminded me of a high school soccer game way back when...couldn't see past 20 yards with the wind swirling the blinding snow...damned cold, too. It was actually fun, though...definitely something to remember.
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS

Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

The women are now 6-1 after beating Lafayette yesterday 13-3. In addition to a prolific attack, I have seen smothering defense and aggressive goalkeeping. The goalkeeping is not a surprise as our coach, Amy Altig, has coached gks for the U.S. national team.

Go Fightin' Blue Hens!
