M Soocer at Maryland - NCAA Tournament Elite Eight - Sat 1pm

Submitted by jgunnip on

Arguably the biggest game in the history of our young program. Winner secures a trip to the Final Four in Santa Barbara next weekend and some major national TV face time.

A couple of articles preveiwing all the Elite 8 matchups here, (http://www.collegesoccernews.com/). North Carolina, who knocked off MSU last weeked, defeated SMU in PKs last night (their thrid staight win on PKs) and is the first time to punch their ticket.

Final 20 minutes in College Park. Maryland will be pushing forward and Michigan is gonna have to dig deep in the defensive half and still look to counter.

And as I typed that Soony just had a great opportunity stoned by the keeper. Wow!

I've thought these announcers have been excellent. Of course they're going to be pro-Maryland. However they've been very knowledgable about the Michigan team and players. Definitely did their research for this game.

I can't do this again.  Not a late goal after being up 2-1.  We saw this last night on the ice, I don't want to see it out on the field.

formation after we went up to a 4-5-1 with one of the mids hanging back so essentially packing the back... like playing a prevent in football... and when you give them time to take a shot like that it wouldn't matter how many guys are playing in the back
