Friday:
Boston U 1, U Mass 2
Stuart Amick beat the keeper on the left side to put the Minutemen up by one in the 24th.
In the 67th Michael Jejna headed home U Mass’s second goal.
Derek Puerta put BU on the board in the 87th.
BU had their chances including 3 shots in the last 40 seconds.
U Mass might have a chance if BC’s best player is still out or hindered, but I wouldn’t bet on it, they get smoked in the next round.
UIC 0, St Louis 0, UIC advances on PKs, 6-5
Dull, dull game, worst match of the day. Sure both of these teams play solid defense but UIC needs to find some offence or they are going home in the next round.
Northwestern will take care of business and move on, UIC goes home.
Duke 0, Louisville 1
Frank Jonke scored in the 28th to put Louisville up by one.
Duke looked worn down, not the inspired performance I expected out of them for their coach.
Ken Lolla (Louisville coach) sent his alma mater packing. Duke should really go after Lolla to replace Rennie, he is one of, if not the best college coach out there right now.
We took it to them on their home turf, we’ll beat them on ours.
Portland 0 Washington 1
Scoreless until the 86th minute when a Portland defender pulled down Matt Van Houten in the box. Ely Allen put the PK in the net and Portland had little chance of coming back with the time remaining.
Washington might pull the upset here, but it’s more likely that UCSB pulls it out.
Colgate 1, South Florida 2
Jason Devenish put the first goal in for South Florida.
Glenn Volk scored the equalizer in the 53rd.
Yohance Marshall scored the game winner in the 72nd.
The Bulls will take on Akron, I think Akron wins.
UC Davis 1 California 2, 2OT
Best shot of the day, Andrew Jacobson for Cal was 25 yards out, five yards to the right of the defense, he let it fly and it found its way to the far left side of the goal.
Quincy Amarikwa tied the game up during a scramble in front of the goal that he was able to head home just above the keeper’s reach.
Cal’s winner came off a botched collection by the keeper off a throw in. the ball was poorly cleared and Andrew Wiedeman sent it into the net with a lackluster effort that could have been saved.
The Berkley Bears were the better team, but not by much.
Best player on the pitch clearly Amarikwa.
V Tech should hold their own against Cal, but I don’t think they will. I’ll call for the upset in the next round.
St. Peter's 1, Virginia 3
St. Peter’s went up by one on a Braulio Constantino goal, this would have been a huge upset.
It wasn’t looking good for the cavaliers until the 50th when Ross LaBaeux put the equalizer in.
In the 77th St. Pete's Yacob Rahav was sent off with his second yellow.
Playing a man up Dane Murphy scored the winner for UVA.
Chris Tierney then finished it off in the 84th to pt the game out of reach.
The Mountaineers will send Virginia home in the next round.
Saturday:
Central Connecticut 3, Harvard 2
Conor Smith put CC on the board in the 21st.
Harvard tied the game up on a John Stamatis goal in the 36th.
Andrew Cooper put CC back on top in the 52nd.
Andre Akpan tied it up again in the definition of a back and forth game.
Finally Jan Klukowski put the game winner in, in the 84th.
Biggest upset so far. Andre Akpan is arguably the best college soccer player in America.
Tulsa lucks out with a CC win here, I think Harvard could have taken them down but they will roll on CC.
Gonzaga 0 SMU 1
The Gonzaga keeper Vito Higgins had an amazing night, under assault the entire game he didn’t let a single goal in from the run of play. It took a Bruno Guarda PK to get one in for SMU, the Zags keeper deserved to win, they rest of them got what they deserved.
SMU will take on Creighton in the next round in what will be a close game. If SMU can play the same they should win, no way a goalie comes up that big in two games against them in a row.
Liberty 0, Loyola 2
Eddie Dines put Loyola up on Liberty in the 30th.
Phil Bannister doubled the lead in the 40th before halftime.
After the break Loyola easily kept Liberty out of the goal and won comfortably.
Loyola should put up a good fight against Maryland but come up short in the next round.
DePaul 0 Bradley 2
Stephen Brust scored the first goal of the game in the 61st.
Justin Bigelow put in the insurance goal in the 83rd.
Bradly runs into a buzz saw against Indiana Hoosiers roll in the next round.
Vermont 1, Dartmouth 1, Vermont advances on PKs, 4-3
In an embarrassing turn of events for Vermont Dartmouth scored in the first minute off a PK by Daniel Keat.
Vermont would lose their best player when Lee Stephane Kouadio their leading scorer accumulated two yellows in the 22nd. Vermont would play the rest of the way a man down.
Even more embarrassing for Dartmouth they would let Vermont back in the game in the 89th minute Connor Tobin PK.
Neither team could score in overtime so it would come down to PKs and Vermont would take the game.
This bizarre result shouldn’t have much effect on the next round as neither team stood much of a chance against U Conn anyway. It will go from a complete domination in every facet of the game to a simple schooling by the huskies.
Providence 0, Old Dominion 1
Ambane Emmanuel would put in the loan score in this game to lead Old Dominon past Providence.
I’m calling for the upset here too Old Dominion takes a tough Brown team in the next round.
New Mexico 0, UCLA 1
In a defensive struggle where UCLA had the better run of play it took 88 minutes to separate these two teams. In the 88th Kyle Nakazawa sent the controversial Bruins on to the next round.
UCLA doesn’t win in the next round against Santa Clara, their year is over.
Oakland 2, Michigan State 1
Sparty takes on a team that Sparty handeled during the reglar season, Sparty loses, same old Sparty.
In an embarrassing performance for the Big Ten Piotr Nowak put Oakland up by one in the 38th, then Stefan St. Louis doubles up on Michigan State in the 46th.
Doug DeMartin put the Spartans on the board in the 76th, but they couldn’t get the equalizer.
Horrible performance by the Spartans, now Oakland will take on Notre Dame, another team Michigan State beat in the regular season and I thought they could beat again.
Oakland falls to Notre Dame in the next round, the Irish move on.
Campbell 0, Furman 2
Furman went up on Campbell on a Chris Davis strike in the 35th.
Furman ended the game on a Haris Cekic goal in the 89th.
A good win for Furman, but they will get smoked by Wake in the next round.
That’s it for the first round more to come later.
Boston U 1, U Mass 2
Stuart Amick beat the keeper on the left side to put the Minutemen up by one in the 24th.
In the 67th Michael Jejna headed home U Mass’s second goal.
Derek Puerta put BU on the board in the 87th.
BU had their chances including 3 shots in the last 40 seconds.
U Mass might have a chance if BC’s best player is still out or hindered, but I wouldn’t bet on it, they get smoked in the next round.
UIC 0, St Louis 0, UIC advances on PKs, 6-5
Dull, dull game, worst match of the day. Sure both of these teams play solid defense but UIC needs to find some offence or they are going home in the next round.

I’m going to the soccer game at five and then the basketball game after that, so don’t expect an Ohio State recap until tomorrow. Sorry, I’ll just likely be exhausted once I get home.

In the second round (Ohio State’s first game) of the tournament the Buckeyes faced off against Louisville again. Ohio State played Louisville earlier in the season on their field in a stalemate one all tie. In that game Ohio State had the better run of play and were closer to scoring their second than the Cardinals were, with that in mind the Buckeyes were confident going into this game.
From the start of the game it was clear what Louisville’s game plan was, triple team Balc and make the rest of the team beat them. Ken Lolla coached at Akron before going to Louisville and he was well aware that Balc is not only the most talented player on the roster, but the heart of all offensive production on the team. It was made perfectly clear that if Ohio State wanted this game another Buckeye would have to step up, the career leader in assists was the defense’s only concern tonight.
Ohio State came out fresh but rusty from their 17 day layoff. Ohio State played aggressive in the opening half possessing the ball and getting plenty of shots off, but not getting them on target, many times giving the keeper easy saves. Ohio State kept constant pressure until they got a goal. In the 53rd Danny Irizarry possessed the ball at midfield avoided a few tackles and dribbled into the box, he took a hard shot that the keeper got his hands on but couldn’t handle. Andrew Magill trailing the play made his run into the box collecting the rebound and finding the back of the net. The Buckeyes would continue to attack for much of the rest of the game until coach Bluem made rather questionable decisions. While Louisville was putting together good possessions the game had remained fairly even after the goal.
Lolla began putting all of his offensive minded players on the field, instead of letting his attacking players take advantage of the lack of defenders in the game Bluem pulled the players that could hold and advance the ball in favor of more defenders. Now almost all of the play was on Ohio State’s side of the field, while the defense could clear the ball the Buckeyes could not keep the ball away from the Cardinals and they would build up the attack again. Latchem had to come up big for the Bucks time and time again, it looked like Louisville was going to get the equalizer, it was just a matter of time.
Finally Bluem put some holding and advancing players back on the field. Balc and the others maintained possession well for the rest of the game. While not all of the scares were eliminated they were greatly reduced in number and Latchem could finally catch his breath. Ohio State ran the clock out and won the game, but it was much closer than it needed to be.

Ohio State’s next opponent:
Don’t sleep on the Gauchos, UC Santa Barbara is a talented team and the defending national champions. They reached the college cup two out of the last three seasons, the first appearance was against Indiana, the Hoosiers were able to pull the game out with PKs to win the title. The Gauchos would make it back last year and would not be denied, they played UCLA a team the program has had little success over but pulled out a 2-1 victory.
UCSB started the year number one, while Ohio State is seeded 5th and UCSB was positioned 12th they were ahead of the Buckeyes in every major poll before post season play. The Gauchos return six starters from their championship team. Including Andy Iro a three time All-American and back-to-back Big West Conference Defensive Player of the Year, All-American and the Gauchos' leading scorer in 2006 Eric Avila, and Nick Perera last year’s College Cup Most Outstanding Offensive Player.
For most of the year Ohio State has relied on its defense to win games the Buckeyes have only allowed three goals during their 12 game unbeaten streak and posted five straight shutouts. Opponents have netted more than one goal just three times against the Buckeyes and keeper Casey Latchem. That mentality will be put to the test this Sunday Ohio State has put more than one goal on the board just six times this season compared to 13 multi-goal performances by the Gauchos.
The Buckeyes will need to play strong defense and get production from somewhere other than Balc if they want to win this game. UCSB is a team that knows how to win on the road on their way to the national title last year they had to get wins at Southern Methodist University and Old Dominion University. They have a 6-1-2 mark on the road this year winning their past four, The Gauchos do not get intimidated when they are down a goal either three of the last four road games they won were comebacks.

Just looked at the brackets to see how the other Big Ten teams did...
(4 seed) Indiana - 1
Bradley - 1
Bradley advances in a shootout (big upset!)
(9 seed) Northwestern - 0
Illinois-Chicago - 2
Michian State - 1
Oakland - 2
Ohio State is the only Big Ten team left in the tournament. #1 seed Boston College also lost their first game so Indiana was not the biggest upset of the tournament.

Round 2:
(all games took place Wednesday night.)
Loyola 0, Maryland 0, Maryland advances on PKs, 4-2
Defensive battle all the way, neither team could get the upper hand.
Louisville 0, Ohio State 1
We won, see above.
Massachusetts 2, Boston College 1
Alejandro Bedoya scored in the 18th to put the 1 seed up on a pretty goal.
UMass would come into the second half down by one, but it wouldn’t last for long as Bryan Hogan headed home the equalizer only 15 seconds into the second half.
Mark DeSantis finished BC off with a strike from a Doug Rappaport corner.
BC was without their best player, but I still felt they should have won this game. UMass has a great shot of making it to eight now.
Old Dominion 2, Brown 1
A.J. Kulp struck a nice free kick in the 11th to put Old Dominion up by one.
The Monarchs came into the second half with the lead, but Kevin Davies evened things up only three minutes into the second half.
Ambane Emmanuel ended the game in the first overtime off a ball from Nane Jospeh to put Old Dominion up for good.
Vermont 0, Connecticut 1
Dori Arad put UConn on top in the 1st, which would be all Uconn would need as Vermont was without their top scorer.
O’Brian White would put in a second goal in the 55th to put the game out of reach.
Bradley 1, Indiana 1, Bradley advances on PKs, 5-4
Indiana went on to in the first minute of this game on a brilliant Mellencamp goal (yes he is related)
Stephen Brust got the Braves on the board in the 69th from that point neither team would score taking the game to PKs.
Bradley made all of their penalty kicks and Indiana made their first four putting all of the pressure on freshman Michael Roach for Indiana he hit the crossbar ending the Hoosiers season.
California 2, Virginia Tech 1
Ben Nason Put V-Tech up by one in the 25th, the only score in the first half.
Charlie Campbell put the Hokies up by two in the 56th, with the comfortable lead Tech became complacent and the game opened up.
Javier Ayala-Hil would put the Berkley Bears on the board in the 59th to cut the lead in half.
The hope would be short lived however as Charlie Campbell would put the Hokies back up by two in the 85th putting the game out of reach.
Javier Ayala-Hil with a great effort scored his second of the game in the 89th but it was too little too late to get Cal back in the game.
Furman 0, Wake Forest 1
Julian Valentin would score a header from a Sam Cronin free kick to put Wake on top. The rest of the game would be all defense with Valentin goal making the difference.
Virginia 0, West Virginia 1
Dan Stratford separated the two teams in the 51st minute with a bending free kick that got around the wall and the goalie. It would be enough, as the Mountaineers would take down the Cavaliers.
South Florida 1, Akron 0
In a game where Akron just didn’t look like they wanted it the game went into overtime scoreless. Two minutes into the second overtime Yohance Marshall put South Florida on top, it would be enough as Akron would never get on the board.
Oakland 1, Notre Dame 2
Alex Yoshinaga put the Irish up by 1 off a tap in cross, followed closely by a goal from Joseph Lapira to put Notre Dame up by two.
Endre Osnes tried to lead the Grizzlies back with a goal in the 66th, but couldn’t find the equalizer.
Southern Methodist 0, Creighton 3
Tim Bohnenkamp scored in the sixth minute for Creighton.
The game wouldn’t be close after SMU had to play a man down once Ben Shuleva got himself ejected from the game.
The Blue Jays added two insurance goals first from Andrei Gotsmanov in the 37th then by Mo Travis in the 87th.
Illinois-Chicago 2, Northwestern 0
Kevin Stoll and Ian Sarachan scored to put UIC past Northwester, I’m done writing about this game because Northwestern completely embarrassed the Big Ten.
Central Connecticut 3, Tulsa 2
Ashley McInnes put Tulsa on the board first off of a corner kick in the 20th.
Yan Klukowski tied the game up in the 22nd.
Tulsa’s short lived lead soon turned into a short lived tie when in the 25th Johan Rundquist scored to put Central Conn on top.
Connor Smith then put in an insurance goal to put the game out of reach in the 81st.
Todd Goddard put another goal on the board for Tulsa but it didn’t matter as Tulsa couldn’t get another chance.
UCLA 1, Santa Clara 3
Matt Hatzke sent a hard shot past the keeper to give Santa Clara its first lead of the game.
Mike Zaher tied the game up but that would be the last goal of the season for the Burins.
Stephen McCarthy put the Broncos up for good in the 78th, then Jide Ogunbiyi finished the Burins.
Washington 0, UC Santa Barbara 1
Jon Curry scored in the 36th to lift the Gauchos above the Huskies.
The game was close and hard fought on both sides. UCSB showed why they will be a though out for Ohio State in the next round.

Alex Yoshinaga put the Irish up by 1 off a tap in cross, followed closely by a goal from Joseph Lapira to put Notre Dame up by two.
Endre Osnes tried to lead the Grizzlies back with a goal in the 66th, but couldn’t find the equalizer.
Southern Methodist 0, Creighton 3
Tim Bohnenkamp scored in the sixth minute for Creighton.
The game wouldn’t be close after SMU had to play a man down once Ben Shuleva got himself ejected from the game.
The Blue Jays added two insurance goals first from Andrei Gotsmanov in the 37th then by Mo Travis in the 87th.
Illinois-Chicago 2, Northwestern 0
Kevin Stoll and Ian Sarachan scored to put UIC past Northwester, I’m done writing about this game because Northwestern completely embarrassed the Big Ten.
Central Connecticut 3, Tulsa 2
Ashley McInnes put Tulsa on the board first off of a corner kick in the 20th.
Yan Klukowski tied the game up in the 22nd.
Tulsa’s short lived lead soon turned into a short lived tie when in the 25th Johan Rundquist scored to put Central Conn on top.
Connor Smith then put in an insurance goal to put the game out of reach in the 81st.
Todd Goddard put another goal on the board for Tulsa but it didn’t matter as Tulsa couldn’t get another chance.
UCLA 1, Santa Clara 3
Matt Hatzke sent a hard shot past the keeper to give Santa Clara its first lead of the game.
Mike Zaher tied the game up but that would be the last goal of the season for the Burins.
Stephen McCarthy put the Broncos up for good in the 78th, then Jide Ogunbiyi finished the Burins.
Washington 0, UC Santa Barbara 1
Jon Curry scored in the 36th to lift the Gauchos above the Huskies.
The game was close and hard fought on both sides. UCSB showed why they will be a though out for Ohio State in the next round.

UCSB returns 7 starters not 6 from last years championship team. I'm looking forward to the game. Do you think you will be able to draw more than the 800 fans you had for the Louisville game? That is just sad. Here in Santa Barbara we had 9641 fans for our game against Washington, more than your team drew for the entire season.

Good grief, I never thought that I'd ever post in the soccer thread, of all places....ucsbfan;1013113; said:
Ohio State's football season is certainly not over - the Buckeyes still have a bowl game, and then there's winter conditioning, and spring football, and summer workouts, and then before you know it, the 2008 season will be here ... and recruiting is a 24/7/365 activity.... The point being, that football is a year-round sport in Columbus (and most of the rest of Ohio, for that matter), and soccer is still soccer.
That being said, good luck, and go Bucks (I guess....).
