Michigan soccer beats Maryland on the road in their quarterfinal matchup, 3-2, in overtime! M was down 1-0 at halftime, scored twice to take the lead before giving up a tying goal with 11 minutes left...M scores in the overtime period on a nice crossing pass...
First College Cup appearance in Michigan Soccer history! Congrats guys! Go Blue in Santa Barbara!
Hail Yes
Maryland
Maryland dominated possession and scoring opportunities. Hail to Michigan for holding down the fort and taking advantage of their limited goal-scoring chances.
Go Blue!
Awesome!
Congratulations to coach Burns and the boys!
Does anyone know who they will play, or what game sets that up?

Akron or Cal
They'll play the winner of the Akron-Cal match which is about to kick-off. Akron beat Michigan 7-1 earlier this year so I'd like to get another shot at them.

I graduated from high school with Akron's coach Caleb Porter. He was a good friend of mine back then
He had his run at success last year.... now it's my Alma Mater's turn

Yeah, the shot of the Terps'
Yeah, the shot of the Terps' mascot walking away was priceless, I may have LOL'd
I may or may not have yelled
"Suck it, Terrapin!" at my computer as I say the mascot walking away all sad.
I have a Fandom Endurance III merit badge
Can you share that shot
Can you share that shot (link, whatever)? I love the terrapin as a mascot, but I'd love it even more all bummed after a defeat at Michigan's hands.

Greenwood
For living on Greenwood you sure know how to shut down a party.
I agree
Don't kill the buzz, man.
If you can't get into college,
go to State.
Believe me,
I live across the street, those guys know how to party. Speaking of that, how long of a drive is it back from Maryland? Hope the soccer guys throw something

Keep in mind that Soony is out for the first game next weekend. Could be huge loss.
Regardless
Michigan has made this far and beat Maryland where Maryland is a huge favorite to win the game. Michigan was probably the worst team of all of the remaining teams in the elite 8. They overcame the odd and beat the national powerhouse.

Thanks, couldn't keep the CiL up with the video feed on full screen. Good to know.
Cal
Both Michigan and Cal have played Indiana and Notre Dame. Both teams played Notre Dame to a scoreless draw, Michigan in Ann Arbor, and Cal in South Bend. Cal beat Indiana 2-1 in overtime in Bloomington, while Michigan lost there 2-1.
At Akron
The match was at Akron. Akron hasn't lost at home in something like 40 straight matches and Michigan has won 9 in a row since that loss.
New day
We are undefeated since that akron loss.

Soony Saad is not suspended for next game
In NCAA tournament play you are only suspended for accumluation of yellow cards on the 8th card. After that each additional three cards is another suspension.
"Postseason Games. Caution accumulation will carry over into postseason play, which includes conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament. Players or coaches participating in postseason play will receieve a one-game suspension when a toal of eight cautions have been accumulated."
per NCAA rule 12.11.2 here (caution PDF) http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/SO11.pdf
Highlights?
Damn, I thought this game was tomorrow. Anyone know where I could find some highlights? I tried the NCAA website and there weren't any posted yet.

HOLY SHITS!
Think I am
HOLY SHITS!

Missing Ann Arbor
Just got home from College Park
A good Michigan crowd..probably around 250-300 Michigan fans, including a 60-70 person Student section, which was pretty good. The place was going crazy. Good end to end stuff. If I were British I'd say it was a cracking game. Maryland dominated possession, but Michigan's strikers were fantastic, and took their chances. The goal was right in front of us, the place went from absolutely packed to empty and quiet in about 3 minutes. Except, of course, for the Michigan fans, who were singing and chanting for about a half hour after the match. The Maryland fans were OK, but the Michigan fans were pretty loud, you could hear them all the way across the field.
Oh, and what propelled us to victory? In between the 1st and 2nd periods of extra time, we did the Blues Brothers. Yeah, it was awesome. Go Blue!
Hail Yes!
