Another big chance goes begging for Calvin — Katsimpalis stuffs Witte in transition. Chicago's backs have been caught too high twice already. They may be winning the midfield battle but need to get a grip defensively.

Mr.Right

Calvin not dominating but Chicago looks susceptible on the counter and their midfield defensively MUST get it straightened out

"... as Chicago had plenty of chances. North Park's goalie had at least twenty saves, and I'm not exaggerating."

Uh, Dave, Mathias Stulen had 11 saves for NPU against the Maroons in last year's semi.

I will say Calvin's LB looks shaky to start this match...Couple giveaway's and some 1v1 issues so Chicago would be wise to attack that side of the field...

And Calvin strikes first! McCaw with a nice hit but questionable defending by Chicago.

Question...in a weekend double-header (whether 1st/2nd Round, Sweet 16/Elite 8, or Final 4/Championship) how much difference in terms of fatigue does getting to play the first game (as opposed to the second) on the first day make? Does that extra two hours of recovery make a difference after going hard for 90/110 mins? Sounds like a n00b question but I never played. I would imagine it makes at least a little difference because most coaches will pick the first game when hosting a pod. FWIW, in running high school an extra hour between the mile and two-mile in big meets (conference/state/etc.) made all the difference but obviously those were being run in the same day versus over two.

That was a heck of a goal by McCaw.

Wow...Chicago falling apart defensively here. 2-0 Calvin.

blooter442

And Chicago hits one right back...really nice individual move by Koh who feeds Adeosun on the line less than a minute after going 2-0 down. Should be a heck of a game.

Mr.Right

Will Chicago stay calm in their 4-2-3-1 or will they force it....Honestly, Chicago needs to wake up defensively....


BARN BURNER...This game is fantastic....Calvin GK a massive error...You gotta dive on that ball on Koh's foot....Calvin's 2nd goal another GK'ing error as Chicago's GK way off his line....


Great stuff this Half....

IMO it makes a big difference especially for the big guys over 6'3...They take longer to regenerate.

I don't know that I'd call Calvin's second goal a keeper error. Very difficult to tell on the broadcast, but it sure looked like that was an intended cross that he either mis-hit or it got deflected and swerved right under the bar.

I'd call that more fluke than error.

/splitting hairs

franklyspeaking

UC keeper making great saves or this score could be 4-1 at this point.

lol...you got stopped by the BoardBot saying what seemed to have been "mis-hit" (sans dash).
