Williams is beaten, 3-1. Nice win for MIT.

I watched the game.

Williams put a lot of pressure on early, but MIT held strong. MIT scored late in the first half off a corner. In the second half the game opened up a bit. MIT carried the play, scoring its second goal off of another corner. Williams got its goal off a free kick just outside the top of the box. That energized Williams, which had some chances. But MIT held firm and countered. MIT's last goal was a beauty, free kick to a forward outside the top of the box, nice layoff to an open player who nail a left footed kick from 30 yards into the top left corner.

MIT earned the victory. Williams was outshot. MIT had many more corners. Both teams played pretty soccer.

No goals from the run of play. All off free kicks of some sort. How is that pretty soccer.

Building from the back, stringing passes together, no booting it.

Since I am not able to see the game on demand I will have to take your word for it but again how do you not create a goal from the run of play if you play that way.

Your defenders and mids move the ball up nicely to forwards who either can’t finish or are dispossessed or hacked by defenders leading to a set piece.

Another Loss for Williams, The Mighty have fallen

Another Loss for Williams, The Mighty have fallen

Do you have thoughts on the cause? You would think that with the track record of the team and Williams' academic reputation, they would consistently be able to recruit some of the strongest players. But they're not dominating in conference; even their wins have been close games. Not adequately familiar with the roster to know if they lost irreplaceable players to graduation last year?

Williams coach is retiring after this season, right?

Yup. so you're implying her coaching is slipping in her lame-duck season?

Or perhaps the players aren't as committed?
