Interesting game. Glad they were able to bang one home in last minute. Missed the first half but the box score is all sorts of messed up. It shows Bucknell with like 25 subs haha.

Considerably fewer people at tonight's game than last week's game against UVa. Lot of back-and-forth; Mason with a speed edge and tried, with some success, to beat them deep (if that's even a term in soccer). We made a couple of bad turnovers in the first half but managed not to have to pay for..

We had a multiple chances late in the game and finally converted in the last minute. Nice win--Bucknell got 9 votes in the poll where Mason was listed as #21 nationally and this was their first loss in 4 games.

We play #6 West Va on Sunday (doubleheader with the women). Looks to be a good year and a competitive schedule!

That was an excellent win against Bucknell, previously ranked #27 in the country as psyclone mentioned. Bucknell actually possessed the ball majority of the game and had some very near misses, as did Mason - very evenly matched but our guys responded with the ice cold game winner, after giving up the 2-0 lead.

Bucknell made NCAA's last year, and both the teams look every part of NCAA teams this year - will be rooting for them rest of the season.
