Quite unexpected, to say the least.

LSA survived a close one with lowly TG, was tied with 10 mins left, they pass the ball well, but certainly have issues with scoring. Word is that both their goals were Offside and in one case the GK was interfered with and fouled too. Doesn't bode well for them

LSA will have to reach down deep if they want to win the state crown again. I personally don't see it happening. Not sure why though. I had thought offensively they would be much more proficient, but they are coming up short on both sides of the ball.

a number of "spies"... Just remember that even there injured players were able to limp off the field, not have to be carried off like the 3 or 4 westerley players that tried to even the score.

This is a stupid comment.

Lasalle will rise to the occassion. They always do.

curious why the D1 girls semi-finals are at East Greenwich (possibly a home game for them)?

CCRI is done by then so why not ask to use their field in Lincoln or why not give some incentive to improving your final seeding by making the semi-final at the higher seed's field?

While turf fields give the benefit of any turn in the weather, it would not take much to find some neutral natural turf alternatives and prevent a situation where a potential semi-finalist of a lower seed is playing a "home" game.

Toally agree, turf is a huge advatage for the homew team. If you are a "grass" team and play none or maybe 1 game on turf vs. a team that plays 7 games on turf, that is a huge advatage for the turf team.

Also, games between two non turf teams,plyed on turf, are typically horrible affairs anyway. I really is a shame that these games can't be played on a grass field

It was there as well last year and they lost. No big deal.

Yes in the semi's. Interesting question might be, if EG didn't have the advantage of playing on Turf for half their games, would they still be the "powerhouse" that they are given credit for being? Over the last two years what is their how and away record? This year they are .750 at home and .500 on the road, no losses at home, only draws. Conversely, no draws on the road, only losses. Maybe turf is the difference between being a 6-3-3 and 6-6?

Looks like Portsmouth is not the real deal after dropping 3rd in row to Prout 2-1.

Prout and Bay View are my dark horses for some upsets come tournament time.

Watched Prout take it to LaSalle last week for most of the first half and then ran out of steam in second half as they gassed playing on LaSalle's regulation sized field without a lot of subs.

Not surprised they beat Portsmouth at home where their lack of bench subs is offset by a postage sized field.

Sample size of 1 does not mean much; the other posters have it right. Prout has a huge advantage at home versus away. If the point is the semis and finals are on neutral sites, then use RIC, CCRI, URI, Roger Williams, Bryant, etc. (if available) fields..or at least reward finishing 1 or 2 given almost everyone makes the playoffs now.

Football the semis are at higher seed.

You need to be bolder than that. Cumberland will win, but TG will not. Also, Bay View will roll as NK can be annoyingly inconsistent, and its time for NK to come up short and BV to pour it on.
