A little disappointing considering we had the lead late in the second half and also missed a PK in the 20th minute. But a tie on the road to a good Navy team isn't bad.

Whose going to the UVA game? I'll be there with 2 or 3 others, a little disappointing though they are no longer ranked so high

 

[Pikapppatri8]

I am going to try to make it

Final score: vcu (4-6-1, 1-0 A10) 3 - #20 Mason (7-1-2, 0-1 A10) 0

Drat. Come out fired up and angry against uva and get at least a point

 

[Washingtonian]

Mason loses 1-0.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Oh well. Onwards and upwards. Time to capture the A10 title. Is at large still in the cards?

 

[GMUSig03]

Great crowd and I thought the team out played UVA for most of the game, except for end of the first half and beginning of the second half. Looked like a different team in the second half and gave up too many opportunities that lead to the goal (after the disallowed offsides goal). Just need to find a way to maintain that level of play for the entire game.

I think at-large is still very much in the cards, but we need to finish top 3 in the conference likely to be in the conversation. These next two games (at Dayton Friday and vs St. Louis Sunday) could very well determine the fate of the season, given we are already 0-1 in conference and our SOS is a little on the weak side up to this point thanks to a lot of terrible teams (even Wisconsin has a terrible record).

0-2-2 in the last four: the wheels coming off a little bit. Need a result soon. Home against St. Louis would be an opportune time.

So, you don't believe that we should celebrate Mason scoring the tying goal with 12 seconds remaining in regulation on a rainy night at Dayton?

No. Especially since they also missed another PK.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Points are good no matter how GMU gets them. Hopefully they start getting out of the bottom of the A10 table (avoid regulation to Patriot League).
