NCAA Tournament 2025

[CentPA]

Halftime sees Emory leading 1-0.  Emory definitely had more of the possession over the first half but Garcia was asked to make two very good saves to keep Wash U off the board.

[CentPA]

We will see what adjustments the coaches make at halftime.  I would guess that Wash U will show a lot more energy and maybe high press.  Emory it seams to me was already doing this in the first half.

[CentPA]

Wash U definitely coming out with more energy and possession.  Emory having a hard time getting the ball out of their end of the field right now with 10 minutes gone in the second half.

[CentPA]

Wash U ties it with a goal by #25 triple M: Monica Morales-Martinez right on the 18 line that goes over the goalkeeper's hands.  23 minutes left in regulation.

[CentPA]

And just like that Wash U takes the lead with a shot from #12 Cami Colpitts from 20-25 yards out hitting the upper right corner of the goal.  20 minutes left with Wash U now leading 2-1.

Wash U. takes the lead on another shot from distance over the head of the Emory GK

[CentPA]

Emory will need to be the only team this year to find a second goal in a game against Wash U to have a chance to win their first National Championship today, and they have under 12 minutes to get it done.

[Kuiper]

3-1.  Wash U is just too tough for Emory over a full game

UPDATE:  VAR review! Offside.

Emory still alive

[CentPA]

#9 Olivia Clemons probably just put this out of reach with a left footed shot a step inside the 18 for a 3-1 Wash U lead with under 6 minutes left in regulation.

[CentPA]

There was a video review of the third goal and the goal is reversed!!! Offside.

[CentPA]

Coming up to 5 minutes left with Wash U still leading 2-1.

[CentPA]

Back to Back for Wash U!

They win their 3rd National Championship in program history with a 2-1 win over Emory their UAA rival!

[Kuiper]

Wash U repeats as national champions!

[CentPA]

Wash U beats Emory by the same score they beat them during their regular season matchup in Atlanta: 2-1.

I suspected that if Emory was going to win they were going to need to score at least 2 goals during the game.  There was only one team this year that was able to keep Wash U scoreless through 90 minutes and that was Messiah in the Elite 8, sectional final game.  They just have too many weapons.
