Mr.Right absolutely correct about the culture clash but what is sad is one would hope UMB would not play/behave to stereotype.  Now if the prevail Rowan or Tufts will almost get a walkover to Elite 8.

WOW....What a gutty win for UMB...Besides the antics they really gutted this out...I was impressed with UMB before and am even more impressed they drew the game in the 87th minute and won in Pk's.....

UMB is talented enough that it would not be a walkover...They almost scored 9 v 11....Kenaway can still play and is their best player...Williamson is a HUGE LOSS but the gamne would not be a walkover like Amherst and Brandeis had today

Who was other player they lost?

Mr.Right

They lost a defender who I believe can be replaced...

Devastating loss for Haverford on home field considering circumstances.  A straight up loss would have been easier to take.  UMass having dream season and I know they are very talented but wish all that stuff had not happened.

Number 8 got a red in the second half. He was playing center mid. Got pulled down from behind. Already on a yellow and got up and half volleyed the ball into a Haverford player (hit him square in the back I think).

I left shortly after that cause the quality of the game wasn't great. Too many fouls. Too much out of control stuff from UMass Boston.

It's actually a shame they advanced. With the way they behaved they deserved for their season to end today.

Will Williamson return for sophomore year at age 29?

Instead they will feel quite vindicated.  A question is whether they would get Williamson back for Elite 8 if they somehow pulled off the next one.  I guessing no, although I wasn't watching this game until after the fireworks.

Can't beat the D3 men's soccer tournament for heartbreak and elation (and some controversy).

Sour grapes...Can't blame the whole team on 2 stupid players doing stupid things....Haverford MISSED A PK AND 2 SITTERS to put the thing away 2nd Half and DID NOT...It was Haverfords game and they blew it themselves...

The announcers mentioned him potentially head butting the referee. Anyone else see that or announcers just saying random stuff?

Also, number 25 apparently headbutted Corkery 15 minutes into half. Corkery made a meal of it but the Umass Boston parent I was sitting next too said he absolutely headbutted him. Refs got together but I think all 3 guys on that side of field just missed it.

Yup, Haverford could not let that game go to PKs.  Basically knew then how it was going to end.  Great career for Corkery.

I think your assuming I'm a Haverford fan? I'm not. I just went to see a good game. Haverford may have blown the game, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a team/bench totally out of control who advanced. I would rather teams who don't behave that way win.
