Duke-Penn State is pretty much end-t0-end action. Anasi tripped up a Penn State player (Nairn?) and Nairn got the PK. 1-0 PSU early
Duke's defense making some mistakes, but the midfield and forwards are getting some good looks. Lipp just hit the crossbar on a breakaway from a bad free kick from PSU.
it's almost embarassing looking at maya beggin her partners for showing up... don't forward knows they should make a move for a ball?
The restraining line looks right for a 75 yd width. Mowing stripes look about 5 yards, so the length looks regulation, too.
It happens a lot versus UNC opponents (not as much nowadays, though). It's just difficult to produce the pressure of a flatback 3 defense in practice.
The homegirl commentating just said that the teams are even in terms of speed! LOL! She lost me with that one. UNC is definitely the speedier side. So far, good match.
I was going to comment that Cutsall is the only one who can match speed. Early, though. I'm not convinced UNC will be this fast at the end.
What BYU lacks in speed, they make up in fitness and aggression. The Cougars don't look tired at all. I haven't seen UNC play this year, so I don't if they can continue at this pace.
McCarty's goal stands and FSU advances. PenN State's PK goal is also enough for PSU to advance. The right side of the bracket is set
