Going to OT in Baltimore, rather predictably. After a few minutes of high press from Behrend, the game reverted to Hop trying to break through 11 guys playing behind their 35 yard line. The wind is also hemming the Lions in.

We'll see if the country gets to view Hop's unique no run-up PK style unless someone figures out how to put the ball on frame in OT.

Good call on the PK against WestConn.  Had to bring up Connor Anderko whose a senior back and a very good PK taker. 1-0 F&M with a lot of game left.

Final Dickinson 1-0 SMCM.

St. Mary's can definitely be proud of that performance against a strong Dickinson side. Only the 2nd NCAA Postseason appearance for the Seahawks, and that's within the past 2 seasons!

FINAL:  Colorado College 3 - Pacific Lutheran 2

Valiant effort by PLU, and especially Trevor Thompson, who scored his 22nd and 23rd goals of the season, but you could tell that team was completely gassed by the end of the game.  Colorado College was just too strong and Jack Hilliard came alive in this game to give the team the all-important game-winning insurance goal. It may be a little bit concerning that this is the second game in a row that CC has given up two goals, after not giving up 2 in a game all season, but Colorado College will take it and move on.

2-2 Ham v. Kenyon, late goal by Kenyon.  Wow. Could go to OT.

Pan from distance to finally break through, Hop wins on a Golden Goal with about 90 seconds left in the 1st OT.

Jeez.

I mean, they were taking shots from distance all second half with the wind. They just weren't very good shots.

Had the same wind in OT and the freshman just laced a low shot into the corner from about 27 yards out. Great shot.

Not going to give Behrend too much grief, but they pretty much stopped trying to play soccer about 5 minutes into the second half. Would've been annoying if the Soccer Gods rewarded that style with a fluky win or something going awry in PKs.

Win and advance. No style points.

Meanwhile, Messiah and Cortland knotted at 1 with about 5 minutes left.

WestConn is getting really, really emotional. Do their best to outfoul F&M. Got to give it the ref, immediately after a WestConn starts to act out, he gets right up close to the player to try to defuse the situation. Great reffing. Means so, so much to both teams.

Still 1-0 with F&M getting better chances.

Messiah had seemed to be dominating and in cruise control right up until Cortland scored against the run of play from a set piece. The game has since completely flipped on its head. Cortland carving out multiple great goal scoring chances.

#10 for Cortland is a dangerous attacker who can chop the ball extremely well.

Catholic definitely putting the pressure on

Kenyon thought they had a PK there.

Yep, and Cortland probably should've won it with less than 5 left. Guy passed when he was 8 yards and the entire goal to shoot on. Pass goes to an open guy, but he shanked his shot.

Going to OT.

Watching Messiah Cortland. Great game and the announcer is good imo. She may need to work on the sinus infection though.

First PK shootout of the day, Ham v. Kenyon. Hard fought game
