Thanks for the update! Keep them coming if you can. I can't find anyone doing a gametracker on this.

3-0 zips win...final

Way to go, Ben! Is that career NCAA goal #1? Or did I miss one already?

It's #2. He picked one up against Bowling Green as well.

So here is a question for you Soccer people. Why don't they substitute more in Soccer? Those guys run all over the place, they have to get tired.

I believe it's because once a player is subbed out, he's out for the rest of the game.

I think there might be a limit. I have no idea what the college rule is but I know in international matches they can only have 6 substitutions.

I wasn't sure whether to PM Rifle or send to the list, but I decided to give my 2c to the crew.First off, the substitution rule is the area where US college soccer diverges most radically from the game as ruled by FIFA. At all other levels of the sport that I am familiar with, once a player is subbed, he/she cannot return to the game. Exceptions being of course, in club youth leagues (and AYSO), and then, I think, only at the U-12 and younger age groups (anyone can say otherwise, please correct me) The reason for the rule variation in the NCAA is based on scholarship numbers. At least that's what I've read and understand. If relatively few subs are allowed, then there are fewer players needed on the team. In college sports, there is pressure to allow MORE rather than fewer players to play, kind of a version of AYSO! lol.Now, I suspect Rifle may be referring more sppecifically to our team -- is that right? It has struck me, in the two or three games I've followed on gamecasts this year, that Caleb subs less then most coaches. There are a lot of different ideas among coaches on how much you should sub. When I was a student, Jerry Yeagley would sub his Hoosiers' complete lineup -- bringing in 10 new players at a time. That was seen as the summit of arrogance by many in attendance, but when your second 10 is as good as most teams' starting 10, it may present an advantage in making the defense adapt to a new style frequently over the course of the game.The other side of the argument -- the one for NOT subbing, is that it could throw off the timing and consistency of the lines on the field. A team becomes stronger as it becomes accustomed to the individual patterns of one another, and keeping the same patterns across and between lines can also present an advantage. So, the struggle for coaches is to maintain the timing and consistency, while satisfying the needs of players to rest during the game, and give substitute players an opportunity to show what they are capable of.It takes years to gain a feel for the little strategic and coaching decisions that take place in football/soccer. Keep watching the Zips, and you too can become a futbol snob. Good luck!

I thought the sub rules applied a little differently per half in college soccer.If you leave the game in the first half, you were done for the first- half, but could re-enter in the second half.If you leave the game in the second half, you could NOT re-enter the rest of the game. Can someone please clarify?

Here's what I got from the NCAA Rule Book:3.5 Re-entry Conditions, Restrictions, Exceptions3.5.1 Field Players. With reference to periods of play, substitutions are permitted as follows: First half: no re-entry. Second half: one re-entry. First overtime period: no re-entry. Second overtime period: no re-entry.3.5.2 Goalkeepers. With reference to periods of play, substitutions are permitted as follows: First half: one re-entry. Second half: one re-entry. First overtime period: one re-entry. Second overtime period: one re-entry.Reference: NCAA Rules - Page 22With these and the interpretations that follow, I presume it means that you cannot re-insert a player in the same half they were substituted for in, unless it is the second half.
