Union Clinch CCC Spot, Top Monterrey For 3rd in Leagues Cup
Third place matches usually have a very strange vibe. The ultimate prize is out of reach so there’s a hangover of disappointment, but the two semi final losers still have a little something to play for, whether it’s a Bronze medal or a CONCACAF Champions Cup berth. This one was no different, with a far […]
Union Extend Unbeaten Streak To 8 With Another Draw
Early in the 2022 season before the Philadelphia Union went into full “Subaru Park Beast Mode” in July, there was a stretch where the team was unbeaten for 9 games over a two month stretch from late April to June, but it was rather unsatisfying since 7 of them were draws. The Union appear to […]
Bou’s 2 Goals Sink Union to Set Up Playoff Rematch With Revs
The Philadelphia Union came into Decision Day sitting 3rd in the MLS Eastern Conference standings with a chance to finish anywhere between 3rd and 5th depending on results. All the Union needed was a win or tie against the New England Revolution to clinch 3rd, but that’s no easy task on the road. It certainly […]
Union Strike First To Take Down Revs 3-1 in Game 1
Now this is the Subaru Park Beast Mode that the Union supporters at the Chester Waterfront were waiting for! The Union got back some of the scoring touch that has been missing for the past few months, racking up three goals in the first half on their way to a 3-1 victory over the New […]
We’re On To Cincinnati! Donovan Goal Stomps Revs Season
Major League Soccer changed the playoff format to a Best of 3 first round playoffs to encourage chaos and form new rivalries (with a side effect of creating more content for Apple TV of course). When you add this formula to teams that are already fierce rivals, it makes for a tinderbox ready to blow […]
FC Cincinnati Sinks Union 1-0 On Questionable Goal Call
The common denominator is pain. Although the Philadelphia Union have only been playing since 2010, the Union have unquestionably earned their place right next to the teams from the other big four sports in this town with their runs of league record success, but mostly with the pain of defeat on the biggest stage […]
Seton Hall Falls to Rutgers in the Annual Garden State Hardwood Classic
The 74th battle for New Jersey College bragging rights went to Rutgers in solid fashion as the Seton Hall Pirates dropped to 5-4 on the season in a 70-63 loss in the annual Garden State Hardwood Classic, this year at the Prudential Center. A year after the lackluster 45-43 Seton Hall win last year Seton […]
Rams and Red Storm: It’s New York
Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, be there to welcome back the Fordham Rams, though it’s not a home game as they’ll be opposing the Red Storm of St. John’s and Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino. Regardless, it’s a New York college basketball game where it should be. When Keith Urgo was appointed coach of the Rams, […]
Seton Hall Climbs to First in the Big East; Upsets Marquette 78-75
Pre-Game Notes Seton Hall returned to the Prudential Center after an extremely gritty win against the Friars, who just lost Bryce Hopkins for the season with a torn ACL. On Saturday afternoon, they welcomed a National Title Contending team in the Marquette Golden Eagles. We knew before this game that defense would be the strength […]
Seton Hall Blows Out St. John’s; Remains on Top of Big East
Pre-Game Notes Well, I expected Seton Hall to come out swinging in this highly anticipated matchup with St. John’s, but I didn’t quite expect what the Newark crowd (which included former Seton Hall and Sixers big man, Sammy Dalembert) saw on Tuesday evening. The Seton Hall Pirates led the Red Storm from beginning to end, […]
