MASSACHUSETTS URI Game Thread

[Sam Adams]

Getting ready to kick this one off and hoping that my internet video feed is working....

[umassfan]

In other CAA games... Nova is up 14-0 vs Delaware early.

[Jackman]

7-3 UMass after each team has had a possession.

[UMass922]

Good lord, another missed chip-shot FG . . .

[Jackman]

All 4 UMass drives have gotten inside the URI 25, but only 7 points to show for it.

[UMass922]

It was one thing last week when we would've needed TDs to beat Delaware anyway; the inability to kick FGs didn't really matter. But UMass should be able to beat URI by settling for FGs, so it's extremely frustrating that they can't. I'm nervous that this is going to end up like the Richmond game, where the inability to put just a few more points on the board left the door open and led to a late defeat.

[Jackman]

TD! Thank God!
14-3 UMass

[UMass922]

There we go!

[Nebuta]

Woohooo. Go UMass!! Keep it going!!

[Jackman]

14-6 UMass after a Rhody FG. About 3 minutes left in the half.

[UMass922]

URI FG makes it 14-6 with a couple minutes left in the half.

URI tries a surprise onside kick, but UMass recovers.

[UMass922]

URI blocks a punt and takes over at the UMass 20. Ugh, freaking kicking game!

[Jackman]

Kicking/punting teams are doing everything possible to ruin our season.

[Jackman]

14-13 UMass at the half. UMass gets the ball first in the 3rd.

[umassfan]

This is the worst special teams play Ive ever seen at UMass in the 23 years Ive been a fan.

[UMass922]

Big play! Nelson all the way down to the URI 1 on the first play after the kickoff out of bounds. Really needed that.

Nelson still down . . .

[Sam Adams]

Havens dives in for the TD. Massachusetts 21 - Rhody 20

[UMass922]

Boy did we need that!

[theasushow]

UMASS not exactly playing like a team that is fighting for a playoff birth.

[Sam Adams]

Umass scores 14 unanswered. 28-20 UMASS

[umassfan]

URI answers with a FG. UMass needs to put this game away.

[umassfan]

Too many rushes for loss in this ballgame for UMass

[umassfan]

UMass D fell asleep URI 1-goal at the 4

Big return. That hurts.

[R3TRO]

Dang. URI touchdown and try for 2 is good.

[UMass922]

Well, shoot.

[MacThor]

Dang. URI touchdown and try for 2 is good.


Well, shoot.

Gosh darnit.

Dagnabbit.

[UMass922]

Probably need a TD. Our kicker can't even make one from 25 right now. He ain't makin' one from 45 if it comes down to that.

No matter, URI INT. UMass's season is over.

[UMass922]

Congrats to URI on a season to be proud of. Wins over UNH, Villanova, and UMass.

[R3TRO]

Rhody really did some damage this year. Making the end of the season tough for UNH & Nova and now knocking UMass out of the playoffs. Hat's off to them.

[theasushow]

stick a fork in UMASS.....congrats on a good season.

[Wildcat80]

No surprise to UNH....scrappy bunch....wonder if they go to NEC?

[spdram]

Congrats to URI, hope they stay in the CAA

[UMass922]

Now is when I need to remind myself that I didn't expect UMass to make the playoffs before the season started. Still, it's hard not to be disappointed. The "so close, yet so far" feeling is a tough one to end the season with.

[bkrownd]

Lacrosse season cannot start soon enough... xnonono2x

See y'all next year.

[umassfan]

Well what a crappy way to end a disappointing season. Guess ill see you all next year... Good Luck to the CAA teams in the playoffs.

[tandemlax]

Congrats to both teams on successful seasons, and for your role in making CAA play so entertaining every weekend!

[soccerguy315]

really good season for URI

[bkrownd]

really good season for URI

Will be interesting to see if it will translate into longer term success.
