    Georgetown advances over West Virginia in today's first quarterfinal, on PKs (4-1), after the teams drew 1-1 in regulation and played 20' of scoreless extra time.

    Still to come:

    NDU v Pitt

    Wash v SLU

    OSU v Clemson

    Watching Pitt-Notre Dame on ESPN+. Who are the best 2022 MLS Superdraft prospects? I imagine Dylan Teves of UW might get some looks.

    Similar scoreline - Notre Dame 4-2 over Pitt on PKs, after 1-1 in regular time + scoreless extra time. Two down, two to go ...

    Me too. The pitch looked atrocious. I'm guessing there's a weather delay.

    Teves is from Seattle Academy - so not likely to be let go into the draft.

    Clemson appears to have equalized in their match. I wish I had Pac-12 Network.

    So who ya got this weekend? I originally had IU over ND in the final so I'll go ND over Clemson and UW over Gtown. ND over UW in the final with the broadcast cutting out so we don't see ND score on a non-called foul on the UW GK.

    A nice piece on the Clark connection

    https://www.seattletimes.com/sports...so-do-two-other-coaches-at-college-cup/?amp=1

    "Bobby {Clark} is why all of us coach,” Wiese said, referring to himself, Riley and Jamie Clark. “I don’t think I am out of bounds in saying that Chad Riley, Jamie Clark and I wouldn’t be in the profession if we didn’t play for him and get a chance to coach for him along the way.

    “Find me a coach in any sport that would be a better example of how you coach, how you handle people, how you teach and how you go about preparation, and I would like to meet that person because I don’t see how anyone could do it better than Bobby.”

    4 very good teams playing this weekend. Matches throughout the tournament have featured a lot of good play. It's a great shame that on college soccer's showcase weekend they will ask 2 of the teams to play less than 48 hours later in the most important match of the season.

    Expecting player to recover physically, mentally, and emotionally enough to be at their best is silly.

    Only Georgetown has played Friday - Sunday this season (and that was 48 hours recovery vs 39.5 hrs allowed to the winner of semi-final 2 this weekend).
    Teams don't play Friday - Sunday because it's proven to be detrimental to the soccer student-athlete's ability to perform at their best & isn't in the best interest in the health and safety

    In the spring - the matches were played Friday - Monday in good weather, in front of big crowds, and saw a good showpiece that was the highest viewed championship in years.

    For the record, Norte Dame didn’t win a game in the playoffs. Most overrated team all year.

    Huh? After getting a bye in Round 1 (as a top-16 team), ND beat Villanova 3-0 in Round 2, then beat Wake Forest 2-0 in Round 3. In Rounds 4 (quarterfinals) and 5 (semifinals), the only team to win a game was Washington (who won 2); all other games went to PKs.

    Your dislike of ND is really quite mysterious.

    You are correct. My mistake. I do not dislike Notre Dame.
    I just think they were horribly and unfairly over ranked. They lost almost all of their “big games” and the few I could actually watch, they were outplayed badly.
    It is not a complaint about ND. It is a complaint about the system. ND was just evidence of a failed system.
    SOS is bullshit if you’re not winning the games that make that SOS high.

    Let’s assume you play teams ranked 1-4. You will have a high SOS. But if you lose them all, it says absolutely nothing about your quality.
