Calvin and Hope both in the Sweet 16 congratulations to both.

According to Massey, Calvin is again a slight favorite over Loras. Hope, have fun against Dominican.

Congrats to Hope -- a good win against a solid team.

Good win for Calvin too. I though coach Hughes's comments were interesting:

The goal by Vegter came on a quick counterattack and came as the result of a pregame strategy according to head coach Chris Hughes.

"We knew that Loras was very quick on the offensive attack and our tactical goal was to absorb their pressure and then strike back with quick counters on offense. That 2-on-1 with Travis and Ben came on exactly that type of play."

It's also nice to see the freshmen stepping up, scoring the first two goals in this case.

If things go according to ranking, the Knights may have a trip to Texas in their future.

The Hope corner goal with 19 seconds left was amazing to watch. Perfectly played.

What do you think the chances are Hope gets to host this weekend? They seem to be the central location for the 4 schools.

I think Hope will be hosting this weekend.

@KICKIN95 -I like the way you think.

By the numbers here's the total distances to each school.

Ohio Northern - 906 miles
Hope - 1015 miles
Ohio Wesleyan - 1018 miles
Luther - 1607 miles

The main difference is that Hope is more centrally located. I believe as long as a team is within 500 miles the NCAA does not have to fly them. If the games were held at either Ohio school, Luther would be over that 500 mile mark. This is not the case with Hope.

Hope also has a great facility!

If I'm not mistaken the first criteria is whomever is seed highest get the hosting nod, then they look at distance of travel.

[Jim Matson]

Ohio Wesleyan should host as they are the top remaining seed. But distance issues may have Hope hosting. Depends on how far it is from Decorah, IA to Delaware, OH - and I haven't counted the miles.

610 miles according to Yahoo Maps

It will be Hope.

Calvin will travel to Redlands, CA (Redlands) and Hope will go to Delaware, OH (Ohio Wesleyan).

I think I've only seen this happen one other time and that was in the English league.

Crazy way to end a game... I don't understand why teams don't put players on the front and back post when defending corners.  With less then a minute left in regulation I would be parking a bus in front of the goal.
