Boy, that's really weak and a disservice to MSJ's kids, implying they were incapable of controlling their own destiny. If MSJ was penalized once, I don't recall it. CHS was penalized, and rightly so, in excess of 5 times - that's 5 or more EMO opportunities, a couple of which MSJ took advantage of, but fewer than they could have. Thought questionable non-goal calls were even. Looked like CHS scored one that was missed in the 1st half, and the same happened to MSJ in the 2d half. Yesterday, looked like 2 reasonably-even-matched teams went at it, and one came up a goal short. The refs weren't perfect, but humans rarely are, and to imply that they were an insurmountable problem or the reason MSJ lost is to cheapen the efforts/play of both teams.

Get a grip. MSJ was penalized multiple times, especially in 4th Qtr. The problem with these games is MIAA plays by college rules-publics don’t. Cville goalie got the ref to reverse a goal call where the MSJ shooter stepped in crease after the ball was clearly in cage-because that is how he is use to playing. There were so many bad calls in the 4th Qtr that it would take an hour to list. Nothing for MIAA teams to gain in these games.
