The Big Dance

[1970s NESCAC Player]

The Brandeis - Drew game was not as close at the score suggests. The Judges were in control throughout.  I saw that Drew was undefeated before today, so I congratulate them for a fantastic season, but they were not an Elite 8 team today.

It will be interesting to see if Brandeis can handle Tufts' pressure tomorrow.  I could easily see that game going to PKs too.

Suprise Suprise....10 minutes in and Chicago goes up 1-0 on Emory on a Lopez header....Unreal...Kid is a stud...Outjumped the GK for the ball..

[Flying Weasel]

The Emory keeper has to go up stronger for that ball.  Seemed he shyed away from it.  Max Lopez header off a cross to give Chicago the 1-0 lead about ten minutes in.  Would love to see a better, closer view of that as it seemed that there was a bit of contact between Lopez and the keeper.

Emory growing into the game here as they have settled down. Emory's Christian Meyer uses his speed to create a legit chance that was hit just wide. Kid meyer has another gear,,Very pacey

Yea it is difficult to see because the camera angle is so distant..

Meanwhile looks like Chicago's GK Hill Bonin is back playing playing this weekend so he must have been injured earlier this month...

1-0 Chicago at the Half. Emory hanging in there but Chicago has had the better of the chances...Emory's GK keeping them in it..

Brandeis absolutely handles Drew with ease. you could tell that brandeis has been there before and Drew just couldn't settle in at all. they still get kudos on a great season and making it this far but as someone stated before they are not an elite 8 caliber team

The keeper for Emory is a freshman and quick as a cat, but he is small, I believe 5'10, maybe 5'11.  The game earlier this year at Chicago he was spectacular.  Chicago had a goal called back in that game and that keeper made 4 or 5 unbelievable saves.   IMHO Lopez got to his Apex before the keeper did and got over him.  The ref was looking right at it.

What a GOAL...Fantastic Header off a corner...1-1   4 min into 2nd half

[Flying Weasel]

Outside of the goal by Lopez, the Emory keeper has looked good.

Well, we have ourselves a game.  Great header by Emory to knot the game.

[Mr.Right]

Jeez...Emory has come out very strong to start the 2nd Half..I think it was #10 Koh who lost his man for a split second on Emory's Goal off the corner. It was also a big height advantage. Chicago looks a bit sluggish to start the Half. Emory's Meyer causing all sorts of problems for Chicago down the flank

[Mr.Right]

Lopez just misses another goal off a corner as he headed it off the crossbar...

[Flying Weasel]

Looked clearly offside to me.  The Chicago player headed over the wall to Lopez who had already made his run in behind.

[Mr.Right]

Lopez scores a goal off a deflected free kick but was called offsides..It was clearly offside....still.....This Lopez has a nose for the goal....Gotta be the best striker in D3 BY FAR

[Mr.Right]

It has been all Chicago the last 15-20 minutes as Emory has barely crossed half-field...
