Should be in town around 6 PM - if things work out, I might head out to the game.
PSU Women's Soccer.....drive to the Championship
- Thread starter Judge Smails
- Start date
for those interested, they just kicked off to start the game, and the video stream is working well.
Another PSU goal, at @ 17:35 into the game, to put them up 3-0. Stony Brook has only crossed midfield a handle of times this game. PSU just has too much speed, talent, etc.
Announcers mentioned that PSU is 8-0 in R1 games of NCAA (not sure if that's all-time, or their last 8), with no goals given up in those 8 games.

Frannie Crouse with a header off of a corner kick at @ 32:22 makes it 4-0, PSU.
PSU making a lot of substitutions during the match.

Laura Freigang with the hat trick @ 35:55, to make it 5-0. A nice assist by Megan Tagliaferri (sp?)
One of the goals I awarded PSU must not have crossed the line (I wasn't watching at the time, so I'm not sure), so the score is actually 4-0, PSU
After 45 minutes of play (end of the 1st half), PSU is up 4-0. Based on the first half play, I don't see any chance that Stony Brook can get back in this game. I don't believe they had a shot the entire 1st half. The closest they got was a cross into the goal area -- the only time PSU's GK had to use her hands.
Tom tell the girls to save some goals for the next game.
This is a bit of a stunner. As talented as PSU's players and team are/is, they have had a tough time scoring goals in several matches this year. Perhaps this will help them to break out of their mold, though I fear it's more a case of Stony Brook not having the talent to stay with PSU.
lol. my bad. Megan Schafer had the ball on the play, fed Frankie Tagliaferri, who then made a few moves to create space for the pass to Freigang right in front of the net.
Charlotte Williams with a goal from close in @ the 67:57 mark. I believe this is the most goals PSU has scored in a game all season.
PSU switched GKs at the half.
Stony Brook has played somewhat better in the 2nd half, but hasn't really threatened. And just as I key that in, Stony Brook got a corner, but didn't do very much with it.

lol, he probably looks at the soccer field as the perfect place to play his lawn darts, and a waste of space for a sport he doesn't care for.
Maybe MMII’s lawn darts are somewhat responsible for why he knows so much about new tires.....?
Frankie Tagliaferri with a goal off a nice pass from Brittany Bassinger, with @ 6 minutes left to play. PSU's up 6-0.
PSU with a 3-2 break, and Frankie Tagliaferri scores unassisted. (I kept thinking she would pass it off, and perhaps the GK did as well.) PSU up 7-0, with @ 5:30 left in the game.
that match went 2 OTs, with neither team scoring. In NCAAs, there has to be a winner, so the teams went to PKs. Wake Forest won the PK battle, 2-1, to advance to R2.
the Round 3 contest between PSU and Wake Forest will take place on Friday, Nov. 17th, at 4 pm at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, in Morgantown, WV. WVU will take on Rutgers the same day/location, at 7 pm. The winners of the two matches will meet on Sunday, Nov. 19th, at 5 pm at the same soccer stadium.
WVU strikes 1st, off of a corner, at the 34 minute mark. Attacker took a strike from just outside the penalty box, and there was all kinds of traffic in front of PSU's net. Surprisingly, neither a PSU defender nor the GK touched the ball.
Both teams have played well in the 1st half. PSU has seemed to control the ball more, but they gave up 2 corners, one of which cost them.
PSU responds at the 38 minute mark, to make it 1-1!

PSU gave up a corner with just over a minute left of the head, and WVU got a nice header off the corner, but PSU's GK with the save.
and there's the whistle, so PSU takes a 2-1 lead into the half

Elisabeth Ball and Fanny Crouse just combined for a beautiful counter attack goal. PSU goes up 3-1,
WVU was dominating things early in the 2nd half. However, on a nice counter Ball carried the ball out of the penalty area over the half, and then made a perfect pass to Crouse who ripped a low shot to the far post for a goal at the 55 minute mark. PSU up 3-1.
WVU is moving everyone up to push the offense, and try to a goal. PSU is under siege, but they are playing strong D around the goal.
About 6 minutes left in the game.

And there's the final whistle, and PSU wins 3-1 to advance to the Elite 8. They'll play the #1 seed in the bracket, Stanford.
Very nice performance by PSU today.

Great game by the gals as they top WVU 3-1. Much like the women's field hockey team, the Nits will take on the #1 seed (in this case, Stanford) for the right to advance to the Final Four (FH lost to UConn who beat Maryland for the national championship earlier today). The gals have the talent to win, but having to travel to Palo Alto for the game won't help matters.
Not according to WVU Twitter
15' The snow is really coming down right now in Morgantown. Not sticking, but heavy, wet and cold | 0-0
I live in the Bay area and am planning to take my 9th and 5th grade daughters to the game at Stanford, Friday. Is there anyone else in the area who might consider going?
