College Cup

Stanford 2-1 over UCLA in OT.

goals from Ohara in regulation, Press gets the golden goal.

Cheney got UCLA's only goal.

UCLA is still snakebit in the College Cup

Yep, breaks my heart for UCLA. Just kidding!

Did you all notice the foul count? UCLA 15, Stanford 5.

Both teams had chances, but Stanford looked the more dangerous to me. All three goals were great, although I think Kelsey would have stopped the Cheney goal.

Now for UNC v Notre Dame. I'm guessing that UNC is going to spank them.

I was able to catch some of the game at work -- a very tight match and some exciting chances by both sides. Can't say I am at all sorry to see Bruins fall again.

I'm heartbroken.

At half, UNC 0-0 ND. UNC has had better scoring chances.

complete with a pony tail tug (Henderson on Engen)

Just a warning - no call for a lifetime ban.

7:58 left ND 0-1 UNC

It's a UNC - Stanford final.

sunday should be quite a match.

I think it's kind of funny UNC took like 25 blasts from the outside and crossed into the box from the 6 extended once - and that's what scored.

A lesson there?

UCLA does seem to be good at getting to the big show, but it's interesting to me that they can never quite get it done once they get there. Makes my day. LOL

Stanford/UNC should be a tremendous final.

One of a very few times I will ever root for Stanford in something.

Oh... how sad for UCLA. Just kidding.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Closeness of the games tells me that UP was in with a shout again this year. I'm rooting for the Cardinal too.

GO STANFORD!!!

Actually, I think I would even root for UCLA against UNC. Well, maybe not. Probably I just wouldn't watch.

UCLA v UNC would be a tough call. Academic because UCLA isn't good enough.

Maybe abandoned as a stalemate after 11-11 on PKs.

(I know they would keep going until someone missed ...)

How's this - game abandoned as a stalemate after 11-11 on PK's because of lightening strikes that just missed Cheney.

I've been trolling this forum for awhile and found it necessary to finally join. I'm here in College Station for the Final 4 with my dad, as we bought tickets praying and hoping that we would see the Pilots join us.

Either way just wanted to say thank you for the great forum and threads!

After watching the semi-final matches, Stanford looks like a solid team with the ability to finish from 30 yards as evident from their goals, but UNC has some serious speed and plays a lot more aggressively than Stanford.

I feel a little bit bad about rooting for a team to lose, as opposed to rooting for one to win, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't watching the first game just to watch UCLA lose. I was quite certain that Stanford would win, but mostly I wanted UCLA to lose.

Shame on you - Didn't your father raise you better than that?

It's over.

Stanford's Ohara gets her second yellow and the Cardinal are down 1-0.

You'd think a Stanford student would be smarter than to kick someone from behind when she's already on a yellow...

What's with UNC's numbers? I've seen 00 (on a field player), 76, 91, and 98. Are they like the Yankees? Have they retired a bunch?

So, I'm kind of confused here. I pretty much always root for the team that beat "my team" to win later on in a tournament. Don't you want to say that you lost to the best team and not the third or fourth best team? It seems that a lot of our regulars REALLY don't like UCLA, maybe I am a little too far removed from the team, but I don't have a problem with them and would rather lose to the National Champion than a Semi-Finalist.
