In pre-game blather, discussion of Abe Thompson. Looks like he will be available but only on limited basis.
The one from UMd is working. Available here: http://www.wmucsports.com/ Kick off in about five minutes. I'll post periodic updates.
Early pressure by Maryland. Thompson with a header wide. Then Md earns a corner. Three balls into box (by Md) within first two minutes of game.
Goal at 12 minutes. Seemed like Maryland was controlling the play early. SLU settled in and scored on second foray into Maryland box. Ipsovitch drove ball into Maryland area, layed off ball and apparently fell to SLU player.
Sounds like a an amzaing goal by Alex Matteson on a bicycle kick. I hope to see a replay sometime. Woohoo!
More pressure by Maryland. Seem to be putting quite a bit of pressure on SLU. Herrera just over bar for Maryland.
Blocked (of course). Hutton with the big save. Herrera took the kick and saved by SLU keeper. SLU 1, Md 0 at about 30 minutes.
Maryland with continued pressure. Seems like SLU happy to defend (or need to defend) and look for counter-attack. Md with 8 shots, 1 on goal SLU with 2 shots, both on goal
Wow, very surprising! The webcast is sketchy at best for me. Anyone else having problems? I wonder how long SLU will continue to go forward? Or will they sit in and defend? I think the former; too much time left to pack it in yet.
After foul, Marcantonio with quick restart. Put out for corner. Marcantonio sends in the corner, which is scored by Goodson. So... SLU 2, Md 1 at about 40 minutes. Sounds like it's getting a bit chippy.
Maryland with a quick counter-attack. Thompson shoots but deflected by Hutton. Maryland ties on corner! SLU 2, Md 2
yeah i gave up on it - i'll get about a minute clear and then it sounds like a cassette on fast forward... not that the maryland announcers are worth a crap anyway - IT'S RADIO GUYS!! TELL US WHAT IS HAPPENING!!
Sounds like a scrappy goal. Thompson credited with the goal off the corner. Ball was bouncing around in the box, Thompson pokes it in. SLU 2, Md 2 at about 43rd minute. Game on!
