Commonwealth (CAA) Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Horizon League) We still don't know the winners of the MPSF, Patriot and Big South tournaments and the Pac 10 regular season, and automatic bid, will be decided by games this afternoon.
Big South Championship went to Winthrop University. They beat Coastal Carolina 1-0 in overtime. Traditionaly, Coastal never plays well against Winthrop who seems to always have their number. As for Liberty and I, we lost in a dismal performance in the first round to Elon 2-1. Really a team we should have beaten, but credit them for coming to play. Hopefuly next year I guess.
Yep, Cal blew it big against Washington (last place in PAC-10) then lost to Oregon State (3-0, against a defense that averaged .63 a game). Well, at least Cal beat Stanford.
